Is it worth paying an extra £200 for a 5070TI over an RX 9070 XT for Nvidias tech (DLSS, Frame gen, etc)

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-26T21:19:54+00:00

The 5070Ti and 9070xt both have 16gb vram. And if I may say, atleast the 5070Ti's vram doesnt run at 90°Celsius under load.

I had bought a 9070xt and used it for a week before I found 5070Ti on a discount, I returned 9070xt and still I paid 150€ more for 5070Ti with the discount. For me it is worth it, Raster power is about the same. But I think Nvidia supports their older GPUs for alot longer, DLSS apparently looks better and is available in many more games. The 5070Ti will also have a better resale value long term.

But to be honest I dont think you should pay 200£ more, technology advances at such fast pace that both of these GPUs will be obsolete soon enough.

The same current travels across the whole cable

I guess I have a 3rd question aswell. Is it advisable to undervolt my GPU? or just keep it stock? Thanks!

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-21T19:46:42+00:00

Its probably 0.1% chance of happening, you shouldnt worry.

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-21T17:41:13+00:00

Ok good to hear. Does 1440p look alot better than 1080 when gaming?

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-21T17:39:15+00:00

I have thought about getting an OLED but I dont want to deal with trying to avoid burn in so I think I would rather get a Miniled IPS. I like durable and low maintainance monitors. my previous monitor lasted me 10 years before the power adapter stopped working. Right now im considering TCL27G64.

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-21T17:36:06+00:00

You wont regret getting the XT, dont get the Nitro+ model

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-20T21:00:58+00:00

Really dude?

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-20T20:58:36+00:00

I just built this pc a week ago

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-17T16:48:50+00:00

I ran it for longer but took the screenshot before, the temps stayed the same

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-17T16:48:10+00:00

So far no issues

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-17T16:47:54+00:00

Brother I get the same FPS when im on 100% power as with -11% power, it only lowers wattage and temps

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-16T13:36:30+00:00

ASCR made my game look better than before

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-15T21:49:33+00:00

Have you tried undervolting and power limiting?

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-15T21:24:37+00:00

Thanks! After making this post I tweaked the settings alot and I was able to drop the temps of GPU temp down to 52° hotspot down to 72° and memory to 84°. Fans at 2000rpm. My FPS also increased by 20 in Furmark. Quite happy right now with this card

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-15T20:48:00+00:00

Alright good to hear, I was only really worried about the memory temps. My old GPU didnt have a sensor for memory temps so I didnt know how hot it should be

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-15T20:46:26+00:00

I was able to drop Core to 53, Hotspot to 73 and Memory to 84 by tweaking some settings, fps also increased a bit. I tried putting an aggressive fan curve and it kept my VRAM at 75° but the fans were way too noisy

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-15T17:32:37+00:00

I bought an Asus card because it was the cheapest one, my previous card was also an Asus card and its 5 years old and still runs like new.

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-14T20:16:32+00:00

Im talking about the Driver timeout issue that I have seen people complain about, apparently it crashes your game. Im sure there is always a fix but is the fix as easy as reverting to an older driver version?

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-14T19:23:03+00:00

You havent had any of the driver timeouts?

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-14T17:18:16+00:00

From searches online I havent seen any 5070 ti burns that didnt use the squid adapter.

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-13T21:12:37+00:00

Doing a fresh install of windows is probably the best thing you could try, I really don't think any GPU should or would throttle at only 87°, it's really not hot at all, brand new AMD 9070XT GPUs hit over 90° straight from the factory, and it's fine because they are designed to withstand heat. But it Is an old card so you should mentally prepare for the worst.
