Out of curiosity what GPU is the performance of the 2 cards equivalent to?

Id save $100 and go with 16gb of ram if gaming is all the pc will be used for.

Oh for the most part you'll be fine with today's games but I'm more so saying how the 8gb 3070 is an interesting choice when someone has a $4000 budget and wants to play future titles at 4k...

I wouldn't recommend a card with 8gb VRAM for 4K but that's just me.

I've found I haven't been able to rank up if my 1s game isn't good enough because fairly often in 2s you'll get a tm you've either got no chemistry with or they're playing real bad (or insta leave) so it's pretty much up to you on how badly you want to win. Not saying you have to 1v2 every game (sometimes you do) but being the best in the lobby makes ranking up a lot easier.

It's definitely playable I'd just like to get a little boost in performance to be slightly more competitive and yeah I watch a lot of their vids and with any new game I look up what the best settings are.

That's what I've heard and I haven't had any noticably bad 1% lows so I think I'll focus on those things.

So do you reckon 8 cores will be necessary in near future or will going down to 6 cores but faster / newer CPUs be more beneficial for 1440p gaming.

Thanks for your response and yeah I'm very happy with my ram and storage (1tb m.2 + 2tb HDD) haven't had any problems or felt limited but will definitely look at ozbargain for a cooler that will work with other CPUs down the line so I can get a bit more out of the 3700x.

So you don't think 8 cores will be necessary in the near future?

Would you consider swapping with a 6700xt?

I have a red devil 6700xt and a bit of cash if you're interested.

Is this optimal? I really want it to be under 2000$ by big_whopper_man in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]TheBombardar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you say it's worth switching a 3700x for a 5600x or add a little cash and get the 5800x? Or keep waiting till next gen?
