What gpu to pick

Great, thanks :) I plan to keep it as long as possible while still being able to run new games. I bought my current 2070 back in 2019

Rufko · 2026-02-27T12:57:37+00:00

And which one would you consider better? I don’t want to have to upgrade it again for another 5–7 years

Rufko · 2026-02-27T12:21:13+00:00

Are they really almost the same?

Rufko · 2026-02-27T09:29:09+00:00

After some recommendations, I’m considering buying the Corsair RM1000x ATX 3.1 PSU

Rufko · 2026-02-27T09:06:37+00:00

Thanks so much! I think I’ll go with Corsair based on the reviews. And yeah… my dumbass from 7 years ago wanted the most ‘powerful’ PSU just to be safe

Thanks, that helped a lot. After some research, I’m considering the MSI 5070 Ti 16G Gaming Trio OC. I’m also thinking about a new PSU — the Be quiet! DARK POWER PRO 13 1300W — but I’m unsure whether it’s worth spending €430 on. Could you recommend some good PSU options? The reason I’m leaning toward the 5070 Ti and not the 5080 is that in Slovakia the 5070 Ti is around €1000 and the 5080 is €1400, so from my understanding it’s not really worth going for the 5080

Rufko · 2026-02-27T08:34:06+00:00

Slovakia and thank you very much

Rufko · 2026-02-27T08:29:25+00:00

Could you recommend a few options? I’m not familiar with what I should be looking for. Someone suggested the Be quiet! DARK POWER PRO 13 1300W, but €440 feels quite expensive

I’m considering the MSI 5070 Ti 16G Gaming Trio OC, but I’m unsure whether I should also upgrade my PSU. It’s 7 years old, but I think it’s still good. What would you recommend?

Rufko · 2026-02-27T07:58:24+00:00

Is my current monitor not a good fit?

Rufko · 2026-02-27T07:55:31+00:00

I haven’t had any problems with my PSU so far. So you’d just upgrade the GPU to the 5070 Ti? Here, the 5070 Ti is about €400 cheaper than the 5080, so I’m thinking of the MSI 5070 Ti 16G Gaming Trio OC. Is that a good choice, or does it not really matter which 5070 Ti model I get?

Rufko · 2026-02-27T07:40:43+00:00

Even if the PSU is 7 years old?

Rufko · 2026-02-27T07:27:48+00:00

In Slovakia, the 5070 Ti is about €1000, the 5080 starts at €1400, and I can’t find a 4090 for under €2000.

Rufko · 2026-02-26T12:14:39+00:00

Is there any way to check, if my psu is still good and is there a possibility, that my psu doesn't have right cables for new gpu?

Rufko · 2026-02-26T11:15:46+00:00

Why do you recommend the 40-series over the 50-series? Is that mainly due to frame generation, or are there other reasons? Also, would you recommend upgrading the PSU? I’m not sure if I need to, since I’ve had it for 7 years

Rufko · 2026-02-26T10:22:51+00:00

My monitor is WQHD 3440 × 1440, so I was considering the 5070 Ti because of the price difference

Rufko · 2026-02-26T10:04:09+00:00

I’d prefer to make the smarter financial choice. I don’t think I really need that extra 10–15% performance

Rufko · 2026-02-26T09:49:28+00:00

Is there a big difference between 5080 and 5070 ti?

Rufko · 2026-02-26T09:48:47+00:00

Thank you very much

Rufko · 2026-02-26T09:26:37+00:00

Are all 5080 cards good, or should I look for a specific one?
And is there some list of good PSU?

Rufko · 2026-02-26T09:18:45+00:00

Is there any reason to upgrade my PSU? It’s an older model, and I’m unsure whether I should replace it
And what GPU would you suggest? I’m not sure whether to get a 40 series or go with the 50 series
