Where are you getting a 4070 ti for $650? 4070 ti is a failed 4080 that was overpriced and underperformed so they changed the name to 4070 ti and took a hundred dollars off and acted like it was value, and its still $800 minimum....
https://www.microcenter.com/product/...-graphics-card Is the card I'm keeping my eye on. I just dont see the value in Nvidia right now unless you really really really want the best ray tracing you can possibly get. Last edited by jd1020; 01-15-2023 at 07:13 PM.. |

An AMD card will work just fine with a G-sync monitor. If it's a true G-sync monitor and not just a "G-sync compatible" monitor, you just lose out on variable refresh rate. If you care about that then I guess Nvidia is your only option, but do you?

My monitors are probably 5+ years old so I suspect they won't be compatible with any Freesync only cards. I am probably going to stick with Nvidia. Eventually i will upgrade my monitors and won't have to worry about it in the future but for right now... ehhh.

Well then, I personally would look into a used card if you can get a decent price on it. Nvidia is in a ****ed up spot right now where their 4000 series cards arent selling, but the 3000 series cards still are so their price is now going back up. Used 3070 ti's are selling on ebay in the $400-500 range.

And it doesn't matter what it was labeled originally. All that matters is the performance. I bought my 2080 for basically $800 when it first came out. The 4070ti is MASSIVE upgrade at the same price point. Not sure why you're so outraged. |

You want to be able to have ray tracing on. 4070 Ti with DLSS 3 and frame gen at $800 is the way to go, my guy. It will make your Gsync monitor purr at 1440p. |

You think the 6800 XT is trash. A card that trades blows with a 3080 is trash... for $500-550 dollars in todays market... trash... If you want raytracing and absolutely need Nvidia to pair with your monitor, then ya, sure, go get Nvidia. That's like 10% of the gaming market. |

If you don't want RT capabilities in your one major upgrade in like 7 years, you're conceding that you're upgrading into a dying breed of GPUs. The 10% of the market argument is so dumb. People couldn't afford cell phones at one point too and that was 10% of the market. RT is the future. DLSS, XeSS, FSR is the future. Frame gen is the future. You're telling BigRichard to drop $550 into a good raster card after 7 years of no upgrades vs me telling him to spend $250 more and be set for the next 7 years as DLSS and frame gen evolve AND have better raster capabilities (it's not like you're compromising on triangles with the 4070Ti). Do I wish the card was $200 cheaper? Of course. But I wouldn't spend $550 or whatever into just good rasterization. |

I had a couple of extra laptops and a decent tower setup that I was planning on getting rid of anyways so I am getting them all reset and going to sell them for a little extra cash. I went ahead and got the 4070 TI... this one specifically https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I didn't want to spend that much and actually looked at the 3070 TI after the 4070 TI was mentioned but the benchmarks between the two I couldn't pass up the 4070 TI for $200 more dollars. |
