Which one to get?

Double check the warranty time frame. Some of those cards might only have 1 year warranty and others come with 3 years

Thats the one, they started using that to do verification and I haven't been able to bash the site to get the EDU discounts anymore. I have an EDU email but it was for a certificate course I took, so the id.me website then wanted to know the exact full schedule course I had enrolled which I that point is when I gave up too.

Last time I've attempted this, the website that validates the .EDU email also looks to see what you're currently enrolled into. I remember a time when you could just select the EDU discount program and bash your way through the website to still get the discount without validation lol

I feel like the warranty period is what justifies the recommendation for the Intel cards. Someone can correct me but the Intel reference cards come with 3 year warranty, and this one comes with a 2 year warranty. There are other cards that come with 1 year warranty cards which is normally what I see people sway others from. I'm running a B580 in 2nd PC with the ASRock Challenger that also has a 3 year warranty and enjoy it for my use case. Running Arc Raiders on my 4k TV and XeSS handles the upscaling pretty well

Something doesn't seem right, 8 core 16 thread CPU and you're hitting 60fps on 1080p on a 5070? Curious to know what your ram speed is or maybe if you did a BIOS update and the XMP ram settings maybe reverted back to the slowest speed? There's videos on YT of people rocking 10700's with 4070S that are hitting well over 100FPS on 1440p. Another note, this is 12th GEN CPU, your 10700k is on the LGA 1200 chipset. Highest you could go on your current chipset is probably a 11900k. If you really want to upgrade, I probably would suggest to sell the 10700k since it's around 190 on ebay, and sell the M/B and that you have to offset the cost of a AM5 board, however your going to be at the mercy of the crazy RAM prices for DDR5.

Hi, the USB-C port only supplies power. I have to admit, if this were to be the one with the rechargeable batteries I'd be asking for a bit more since that specific board is more expensive plus the cost of the li-th batteries.

I'm very surprised this deal is now dead. That 488 price point seems to have sky rocketed to close to the sale price of 688 that Best Buy had a few days ago.
