I want to switch from an amd to an nvidia but still keeping under $2000 AUD

[barren kayak]

take an ryzen 5600

it's the same processor

juste a little bit more overclocked

[dusk valve]

So switch it then. What's stopping you from doing so

[mellow pier]

Switch it to what tho

[dusk valve]

Are you looking for a gpu equivalent in perfomance or equivalent in price

4070 super is still within budget

[mellow pier]

@dusk valve

[mellow pier]

I’m looking for mainly performance wise but still kinda cheap

[dusk valve]

Is the 4070 Super fine

[normal finch]

Any specific reason you want to switch to Nvidia?

Nvidia doesn't really have a card that competes with 7700xt price to performance wise. I would not recommend 4060ti 8gb...

But if you are willing to spend more money, 4070super is fine.. But for the same money you can get 7900xt which absolutely crushes 4070super in every single game if RT is off 😅 and even with RT on they are not that far apart.

It's an awkward price point where Nvidia is not competitive at all. 4080super is a different discussion, that's where Nvidia starts to level the playing field. Because that card is good enough to justify using ray tracing, and with RT turned on it will be better than what AMD offers for the same price.

I just checked Australian prices ... Your options are even more limited than I thought 😅 Nvidia pricing is even more fucked there than USA or Europe. You would be spending a minimum of $939.00 for a 4070 super just to compete with the 7700xt that you can get for 679

[normal finch]

Or well technically 899, but I would not get that model because it is a less reliable model

[mellow pier]

Thank you for your help sugar the main is because I wanted to be able to more easily see what graphics card I had there is no proper reason I just wanted to be better then my friends

[normal finch]

😅 ok lol. So you're not actually looking to switch? just wanting to see what competes with 7700xt? you could have rephrased your question

[mellow pier]

Yeah I prolly should have tbh but yeah scoping the competition you could say

[normal finch]

It does depend a bit on what games you play though... But generally speaking you could say 7700xt is about on par with 4070.

[mellow pier]

I’m not playing to high end games just some modded minecraft stuff like that without lagging and some more but still

[normal finch]

Modded minecraft lol. Unless using heavy shaders and high resolution, you would be fine with a gt1030... Entry level budget gpu which is basically useless for games from 2017.

Your CPU and ram matters much more for MC

[mellow pier]

So you’re saying my gpu is fine for the stuff I wanna play?

[normal finch]

For modded Minecraft? it is far beyond overkill. If you are having performance issues, it is not because of your hardware.

[mellow pier]

Oh no I don’t have that pc that’s what I want

I also wanna play like Eldin ring some scp games Fortnite he’ll let loose those types of games

[normal finch]

I assume you will not just play Minecraft for the rest of your life? because for Minecraft that computer is very much overkill

[normal finch]

Yeah this would do well in those games also

[mellow pier]

Ok cool thank you very much for your help would you also say the rest of my pc is good for those to

[normal finch]

What resolution is your monitor and what FPS are you targeting?

[mellow pier]

Around 30 min

You should be fine playing elden ring on any settings you want though. And fortnite is also trivial. You can play fortnite on a potato more or less.

[mellow pier]

That’s my monitor

[mellow pier]

I can’t play Fortnite on my computer it is so laggy

[normal finch]

In the video he is capped at 60fps... So on maximum settings he is only using 50% gpu so really the 7700xt is good for 120fps on max settings

[normal finch]

1080p display... Yeah you will be fine for a long time :P

250hz is very high, but I guess you don't need that full FPS on all games.

[mellow pier]

So everything is good

[austere dirge]

PLE computers have a bunch of prebuilts you should have a look at.

[normal finch]

All good 👍

[austere dirge]

not to buy but to get ideas

[normal finch]

I think the system he already picked is a good balance 🙃 but sure doing more research does not hurt.

I also recommend looking up videos on youtube with the specs you look at to get an idea

[austere dirge]

I havent looked at it, but yeah just ideas for research

I saw a guy the other day spend like 3k aud for a 4070 and 7800x3d but 16gb slow ram and shit rest of computer

they got scammed asf lmao

[normal finch]

5600x and rx7700xt, both seem competitively priced in Australia, I looked up their pricing compared to other models.

[normal finch]

OMG 😅 worst possible combination of parts lol

7800x3d doesn't care much about fast ram ... But still 16gb is a sin.

Also 4070 with 7800x3d? lol

[normal finch]

Unless you target lowest possible settings 1080p at super high refresh rates, don't ever do this.

[mellow pier]

Thanks for the advice
