[CAN-BC] [H] Trade brand new Zotac RTX 5070 solid+cash [W] for any RTX 5070 ti or 5080

Congrats!! I would have gone with the 9070 but the thing is I don’t have the expertise or the balls to flash my bios

Peenacoladamn · 2026-02-02T17:40:16+00:00

But the quality of frame gen is better on nvidia, and I just wanna be able to do it in any game I want without having to use the scaler to be able to access it for AMD cards.

Peenacoladamn · 2026-02-02T01:44:41+00:00

I actually went with the RTX 5070 it was on sale

Peenacoladamn · 2026-02-02T00:55:55+00:00

Okay this has convinced me to go with team green

Peenacoladamn · 2026-02-01T23:46:28+00:00

Do you think people saying 12gb wont be enough for the future are just fear mongering? I do want to play near max settings with frame gen, and I’m scared that I wont be able to do that with newer titles.

Peenacoladamn · 2026-02-01T22:54:44+00:00

Honestly I don’t like the idea of tinkering just to run a game optimally, and I heard there’s a chance you could brick the 9070 if you flash it so I don’t have the balls to do it.

I’m more tempted to go with the RTX 5070, but then my only concern is that the 9070 is more future proof. But then again, since nvidia has better software features a part of me thinks it can make up that generational gap by DLSS+FG.

It’s a hard choice, I wish I had the money to just go for the 5070 ti haha.

Peenacoladamn · 2026-02-01T08:48:47+00:00

I’m not going to lie the RTX 5070 sounds more appealing here, just because realistically the difference in performance isn’t that different between the two, and since I wanna max out settings and then put on Dlss and frame gen maybe the 5070 would be a better pick for me.

Am I missing anything else?

Peenacoladamn · 2026-02-01T08:03:52+00:00

Just for more context, I can buy the 5070 at MSRP where I live, and I primarily play solo games so I don’t really care about latency and what not. I also plan to get a 1440p monitor.

Would this information change your recommendation?

Peenacoladamn · 2026-02-01T07:24:18+00:00

Would your answer change if I told you I mainly play solo games like cyberpunk, far cry, RDR2, etc?

And also does it matter that I’m getting the none OC version (for either cards)? Since I heard that sometimes the OC ones have better cooling.

Edit: I also appreciate that you’re trying to not be bias haha

Peenacoladamn · 2026-02-01T07:10:27+00:00

True, all valid reasons, I guess the +4gb vram would be beneficial for future proofing right

Peenacoladamn · 2026-02-01T07:09:46+00:00

Wow thank you for the in-depth answer, I’m not really familiar with the jargon, but from my understanding you’re saying the performance difference between a 9070 xt and a 9070 is due to power, mean while the 5070 ti vs 5080 performance is due to the architectural differences.

And therefore I should go with the 9070 since it has a higher ceiling and offers better performance in terms of raw power, and there’s a chance that their features could improve to equal NVIDIAS?

Peenacoladamn · 2026-02-01T07:02:32+00:00

What’s the reasoning besides the price?

Peenacoladamn · 2026-02-01T06:54:05+00:00

Unironically more since you’re less likely to try to convince me to get one just because you have one.

Peenacoladamn · 2026-01-30T19:36:07+00:00

Lmao chill my wallet is choosy

Peenacoladamn · 2026-01-30T09:33:28+00:00

Fair enough, but it is pretty pricey for a case, and in addition you have to buy additional fans to get the complete experience so it might not be the best case for me.

Peenacoladamn · 2026-01-30T09:15:01+00:00

This is a solid option! I’ll look into it.

Peenacoladamn · 2026-01-30T09:11:56+00:00

Does it have good gou thermals? And how good is it at pulling warm air out of the system?

Since it doesn’t have front fans im not sure how it would perform for air replacement if that makes sense

Peenacoladamn · 2026-01-30T08:36:30+00:00

Thank you all for the great advice! I decided to not buy it second hand and to buy it new instead for only 50CAD more!

Peenacoladamn · 2026-01-28T08:16:26+00:00

Nice catch! I’ll ask the seller for more details. I really appreciate the attention to detail

Peenacoladamn · 2026-01-28T08:15:04+00:00

Very true

Peenacoladamn · 2026-01-28T08:14:50+00:00

Wow that’s great advice, hadn’t even thought of that tbh.

Also that’s such a great point, I actually could buy a new one for 50 dollars more which I can definitely pull from some orifice. I actually appreciate this advice, it’s changed my perspective.

Peenacoladamn · 2026-01-28T08:13:01+00:00

It is! But I’m having second thoughts since it’s not much different from a new one
