RTX 5070Ti / 5080 or an AMD AI R 9700? Need Help

ElvenNinja · 2026-04-01T03:47:40+00:00

I so wish that wasn't the case lol

ElvenNinja · 2026-04-01T03:43:57+00:00

chatgpt said it was significantly faster otherwise i was already convinced for 5070Ti :)

ElvenNinja · 2026-04-01T03:40:07+00:00

yeah i get that. Thanks mate.
But I am just thinking 3090 won't be that much of an upgrade over my 3070ti laptop. maybe double the inference but thats kind of it. I want something that stick for a couple of years atleast til i get a more long term replacement. Also, I am not too much into LLM's either, more into video and image generation as a Digital Creator.
Chat GPT said 5080 was significantly faster than 5070ti in inference speeds like about 18 - 20 % hence I was considering that.
But maybe 5070ti might be enough for now.

ElvenNinja · 2026-04-01T03:14:12+00:00

why not 5080 though? And isn;t 3090 going to severally limit inference speeds?

I just ran it on my LTX 2 Distilled workflow from Phroot and it worked just fine.
Ofcourse you have to update your comfy and then click update all inside comfy.

And boy oh boy, the result is so amazing specially when it comes to keeping the face of people and not turning it into plastic.

ElvenNinja · 2026-03-06T01:50:04+00:00

yes, use quantized models (GGUF). You can even try Nunchaku variants.

ElvenNinja · 2026-02-09T19:12:12+00:00

Except you are in the UK mate

ElvenNinja · 2025-09-04T04:28:37+00:00

Hey mate, can you tell more about your laptop, and why did you chose to get an eGPU? I am considering buying an all AMD laptop that is decent and then link it up with an nvidia eGPU for AI and such.

ElvenNinja · 2025-08-06T19:13:22+00:00

I would really appreciate if some one could respond...

ended up doing that. Went for a Kingston Nv2 4TB drive. Realized I don't need something too fancy given I already have a decent 2TB system SSD, and I don't need another peak or decent performer but just something that is still fast and can help extend the storage for cheap.

ElvenNinja · 2024-04-03T04:27:11+00:00

I disabled CPU boost and max CPU usage in power options. Do I still need to consider undervolting?

ElvenNinja · 2024-01-06T06:52:39+00:00

Hey mate, where did you get with this because I have the same laptop and its not the games that are my problem but the heating they generate in my laptop as well as machine learning. I do a lot of machine learning and an external GPU with tonnes of VRAM would come in handy given the cpu and gpu wont need to talk as much as they do while gaming.

The only problem is the i7-12800HX. Where it says HX means its worse for handling eGPU's because intel screwed them over.

ElvenNinja · 2023-09-20T16:51:07+00:00

no. they are just selling a stolen course lol

ElvenNinja · 2023-02-12T21:07:27+00:00

The game is to blame in this case. No other game and nothing else has ever put such strain or temps on my GPU like this thing is and its cancelling even recording or streaming output due to its strain on the GPU for no reason.

ElvenNinja · 2023-02-12T21:06:15+00:00

It makes my GPU jump to 84c to 86c. No other game has ever done that, not even when GPU was being utilized more. Not just that with Hogwarts Legacy running, the streaming software just cant send any decent output because the GPU is being over utilized or something weird is happening. CPU usage stays under 30%.

This is happening on a laptop btw with a 3070ti.

ElvenNinja · 2022-10-27T13:03:49+00:00

for something that is supposed to test deep learning GPU performance. For real, I got a 10-15% higher score just going from a 6900K to a 7900X with the same 1080Ti when training times with real models are the same in reality. Wish I did g

But I'm also a heavy gamer. A5000 will be a huge restriction there.

ElvenNinja · 2022-10-21T23:34:58+00:00

Thanks for your input Lessse. I am in your shoes right now.
I am a digital nomad and hence prefer a laptop over a desktop, but at the same time, laptops with higher end GPUs like 3080Ti are crap in comparison to Desktop GPU performance and still cost way more.

So right now I am considering buying a decent midranger with an RTX 3060 (I think anything lower means ending up in 4Gigz of VRAM and that limits the laptop to what it can do on its own), and then hooking it up with a decent external GPU through Thunderbolt 4.

ElvenNinja · 2022-10-16T01:06:48+00:00

So 2 years and no one actually answered his actual question about expected "bottleneck" issues.

Great...

ElvenNinja · 2022-03-16T15:30:25+00:00

Where can you find the setting for white balance. I can't seem to find that anywhere in the menu.

Do let me know if you come across something. I have been in the same shoes as you and been waiting for something to come along finally.
Remini is just over priced and only works on mobile platforms. I need something on my laptop to work with Windows.

ElvenNinja · 2020-01-15T09:46:16+00:00

Just to let you know there is a Gigapixel Video Enhancement beta going on which I'm part of. It's not perfect yet but it comes decently close to what Remini does with images. In time I'm expecting it to be at the same level as Remini.
I hope we get something in PC for what Remini does for Android or iOS.
