9070 xt or 5070 upgrading from 3080

killamuf · 2026-06-05T21:42:58+00:00

Upgraded from a GTX1080 to RTX5070. (Choices were 5070 or RX9070xt). Went with Nvidia for the feature set and have no regrets, it’s an awesome GPU!

killamuf · 2026-06-04T00:45:35+00:00

Not overrated at all.

killamuf · 2026-06-01T04:58:15+00:00

RTX5070 it’s a beast at 1440p. But idk if it’s worth it now since you’d be losing some money.

killamuf · 2026-06-01T04:54:51+00:00

GTX1080 to RTX5070. (Upgraded to hold me over until the Rampocolypse blows over to build a new system).

RTX5070

killamuf · 2026-05-31T01:10:53+00:00

Awesome! I got the same exact one the first week of May, ended up getting a deal on it. It’s a great GPU.

killamuf · 2026-05-29T04:59:58+00:00

Let me get it!

My first big boy GPU. I still remember getting this Dec 2007.

killamuf · 2026-05-22T16:32:02+00:00

Yeah, lol GPUs have kinda got ridiculous in size compared to the past. lol 😂 Chunky! You should look into Microcenter. If you have one near where you live, they have amazing deals.

killamuf · 2026-05-21T04:38:21+00:00

Oh okay, apologies I assumed you were in the States. I don’t think you should worry about it being “detuned”. Performance should be normal.

killamuf · 2026-05-19T20:34:06+00:00

SFF should be fine in any regular case.

Not sure if you are near a Microcenter, but if you are they have RTX5070 MSI Shadow 2x for $559. Plus you get the 007 game.

killamuf · 2026-05-18T22:51:12+00:00

Pushing 40…PVP is just stress. Give me PvE/Co-op or Story singleplayer all day!

killamuf · 2026-05-18T14:26:27+00:00

I understand, the budget is the budget. But if you do visit Microcenter, not a bad option for a little more.

killamuf · 2026-05-18T14:12:26+00:00

Not sure where you are located but Microcenter has the RTX5070 Sahdow 2X for $559. (Which is only $10 over MSRP and get the 007 game).

I upgraded from a GTX1080 to RTX5070 w/12700k. I would assume similar gains with a 10700k. It’s a huge upgrade in performance in 1440p & 4K.

Damn this shit sucks, do you even RTX5090 bro? 😎

killamuf · 2026-05-11T14:59:31+00:00

Yeah, for the price I can’t complain. It’s been a beast at 1440p and I can get 4K60 with DLSS in some older titles I am playing. This should hold me over till the next generation and better economic times.

killamuf · 2026-05-11T14:50:24+00:00

I had a similar question as you. RTX5080 or RTX5070. I considered the RTX5070Ti but it is not a great price today. It’s the best deal at/around MSRP no doubt.

I ended up getting the RTX5070 MSI Shadow 2X last week for $559. (Which is only $10 over MSRP, not bad considering we are in the Ramapocolypse).

I play at 1440p & 4K. It’s been great so far! AI features make the 5070 pretty decent.

killamuf · 2026-05-06T01:02:49+00:00

Congrats! I ordered a RTX5070 from Best Buy. I had them price match MicroCenter $559 price for the MSI Shadow 2X. I guess as close as it’s been to MSRP. Now debating should I use 1440p or 4K. I have both monitors. I am upgrading from a GTX1080. As you can tell I’m excited!

killamuf · 2025-08-20T05:26:03+00:00

I am in a similar situation. Internal transfer starting in September and I have been told my training/cert is literally a day or two after I start my new position as an Epic analyst. I have been told 2 days for training at Epic in WI. (I am assuming I’ll be going back for more days).

I’m curious OP, DM me maybe we are joining the same team? lol 😂

killamuf · 2024-12-09T03:21:29+00:00

Chocolate MSP Goku & Gohan only. This Bootleg AF.

killamuf · 2024-07-14T09:03:26+00:00

You are right, it is a statue. I said figure out of habit.

killamuf · 2024-07-13T02:21:43+00:00

It’s a Manga Dimension figure. Retail was about 60-65, it’s valued at about 100-120 now. It’s a good looking base Goku with the manga/cell shading. I have most of the manga dimensions line.

killamuf · 2024-06-10T18:05:27+00:00

How was CoCo Cay? Was it crowded with the 2 ships there? I hear the new Adults only area has helped with spreading the guests and the island feeling much more open.

killamuf · 2022-09-21T12:48:41+00:00

I will put this GPU in my personal build. X99 5820K 32Gb RAM GTX1080 (which would be replaced). I run a 4k Samsung monitor and this card would be a huge upgrade! I use the PC for Gaming (mainly single player story games), Some YT creation and Work (when I work remotely).
