Coming from a 1660super

#

What is your budget

steep locust
#

5070

light sleet
#

5070 is better but 7800xt is better price to performance. I currently daily drive a 7800xt and it’s great.

wild mesa
#

The 5070 is like 100 more expensive

light sleet
#

Yes

native raven
#

buying a new 7800XT is questionable

light sleet
#

Yeah that’s kinda true

wild mesa
#

Okay okay

#

I get it

light sleet
#

Bought mine last year for like 400 dollars

wild mesa
#

That sucks

light sleet
#

No that’s great

wild mesa
#

No imean it sucks that there is that little amount of space to choose from

native raven
#

what are your other components and your resolution?

light sleet
#

Oh

wild mesa
#

Only 1080p lol

#

But i want something future proof

light sleet
#

Get the 9060x

native raven
#

9060XT 16GB is gonna run that so well

light sleet
#

T

native raven
#

for like 380eur

light sleet
#

It’s will demolish ultra 1080p

#

Huge amounts of fps

wild mesa
#

I like it more beefy

#

For modelling and stuff

light sleet
#

What’s the hz rate of your monitor

native raven
#

i mean you could push towards 9070/5070 but thats like 600$

wild mesa
#

The 5070 is 550

#

I was planning to get one

#

But its like the most money i have ever spend on one single thing

light sleet
#

Okay

wild mesa
#

So i kinda thought about alternatives

light sleet
#

You could easily run 1440p with that card

native raven
#

im lowkey angry at 5070's 12GB VRAM

#

9070 has 16

wild mesa
#

I am as well

native raven
#

but they generally cost the same

wild mesa
#

Not here i guess

#

Sadly

native raven
#

sadge

light sleet
#

So you could save for like Black Friday and buy a great monitor

wild mesa
#

I could have snatched one for 500

#

Multiple times

native raven
#

yeah, buying a 5070 for 1080p is not worth it

wild mesa
#

But it was too big for my case

native raven
#

you should get a 1440p monitor

light sleet
#

What’s the refresh rate of your monitor?

wild mesa
#

I guess but i wanna future proof dont wanna buy another one for the next 3-4 years maybe even more than that

#

Just 60 and the second one is 70

light sleet
#

😐

#

Bro

#

Your buying a 5070 to get 70 fps

wild mesa
#

Yes

#

Not entirely for gaming tho

light sleet
#

Okay

wild mesa
#

I am a game designer

native raven
#

believe me when i say a 5070 will last way more than 3-4 years

#

like they dont just magically stop working

wild mesa
#

Yeah thats why i wanna get one

light sleet
#

But like get a 1440p and at least 144hz and get a 5070

wild mesa
#

No i mean in terms of performance

native raven
#

5070 is very much going to be viable in 5+ years

light sleet
#

Yes

wild mesa
#

Okay thats crazy

light sleet
#

Bro people are still using 1080s

wild mesa
#

Yeah i know

light sleet
#

A 5070 will still look great

native raven
light sleet
#

No I mean the gtx 1080

wild mesa
#

☠️

native raven
#

oh lmfao

light sleet
#

It’s actually not terrible performance at 1080p medium

native raven
#

i though you were one of those "what tf are you still doing gaming at 1080p" people 🙏

light sleet
#

Hell no

#

Bro that’s still super viable

native raven
#

i mean i have an UWQHD now

light sleet
#

I’m more “ wtf you doing gaming on 4k?” people

native raven
#

exactly

wild mesa
#

Does the 5070 handle 4k with frame gen?

#

And dlss

native raven
#

me when my high end gpu cant handle the game properly:

light sleet
#

Don’t

native raven
#

4k gaming is not it in general

#

just stick to 1440p

light sleet
#

1440p is the sweet spot for gaming rn

wild mesa
#

I have never even played on 1440p

native raven
#

its defo noticable

wild mesa
#

Okay well 5070 it is then

light sleet
#

Okay

wild mesa
#

Will wait for it to drop in price tho

light sleet
#

And save for a 1440p 180hz monitor

wild mesa
#

I hate that it already dropped to 500 like 4 times but it literally never fit my case

light sleet
#

Oled if you like it

#

Bro what

wild mesa
#

I hope a 2 fan one drops soon or a triple fan with the right length

light sleet
#

The 5070 doesn’t fit in your case?

#

Do you have like an itx or something?

wild mesa
#

Yes my case fits 297mm

light sleet
#

😐

#

Okay

native raven
#

CUT THE CASE OPEN! 🤑

wild mesa
#

So the options are slim

#

And i hate it

#

They usually only dont fit by like 1 or 2 cm

light sleet
#

Honestly just put the GPU in a bandsaw

#

Great fix

native raven
#

just dont use the case?

#

have your pc open laying around

#

🦍

light sleet
#

Get the “humble” pc case

#

From the LTT vid

wild mesa
#

Yeah i should have thought about that when buying the case like 1 year ago

#

But hopefully one drops to 500 soon

#

Well thanks for your help guys, very nice of you

light sleet
#

Ok

#

Good luck

wild mesa
#

Thanks man

zinc marsh
#

5070 for casual gaming? Just go for a 5060 Ti or an RX 9060 XT. It's the highest you realistically need unless you wanr native 1440p

native raven
#

he said he needed it for some productivity work too

#

but otherwise yeah, 9060xt is the best option for just gaming here

zinc marsh
#

It's my preferred option anyways

light sleet
#

Honestly if pricing is okay yeah

#

It will actually fit in your case

zinc marsh
light sleet
#

Yeah should be okay

#

THey couldn’t fit a 5070 in the case apparently tried 4 times with different gpus

zinc marsh
#

What kind of a tiny case is it then?

#

A vertical one?

#

Thin client kind of deal?

light sleet
#

Oh wait misread

zinc marsh
light sleet
#

The gpus in his price range were too big

zinc marsh
light sleet
#

4 seperate time

zinc marsh
#

Welp 5060 Ti is the best new GPU currently available

#

For overall stats

wild mesa
zinc marsh
#

I myself decided to go for a 5080 instead of a 5070 Ti for casual gaming after all

#

With a future upgrade to a 5090...

wild mesa
#

Okay okay i see

#

Well i dont wanna spend that money

#

Why not go amd?

#

Isnt the 9070xt like on par with the 5080?

native raven
#

more like 5070Ti

#

except it has worse RT

zinc marsh
#

@wild mesa

wild mesa
#

Okay

native raven
#

well for gaming id say FSR4 is pretty good

#

like not nvidia level but still

wild mesa
#

Well i asked a few people everyone says something else i dont know if i should get a 5060ti 16gig or a 5070

native raven
#

but for productivity...idk

wild mesa
#

The 9070 is far out of price range

#

The 5060 has a nice price

native raven
wild mesa
#

But idk if the performance will fit

native raven
wild mesa
#

Ti

native raven
#

a

wild mesa
#

Sorry

native raven
#

well thats a different gpu lmao

wild mesa
#

Man i hate the market

#

Only options are literally 3 cards

native raven
#

thats what happens when companies have monopolies

#
  • they are all overpriced
wild mesa
#

Yeah

#

It sucks

#

I am just not sure if i wanna spend 540 euros on a 5070

#

I definitely have the money but it might just be overkill

#

The cheapest 16 gig 5060ti is 430

#

The cheapest 9060xt is 370

#

But i would rather pick the nvidia options for frame gen

native raven
#

are you familiar with AMD FSR4

zinc marsh
zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

I meant ti sorry

zinc marsh
#

Oh alr

#

And yeah it's good value card

wild mesa
zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

The 5060ti 16gig should be the better option then

zinc marsh
#

However DLSS 4 is going beyond native quality atp

wild mesa
#

Between the 9060xt

zinc marsh
#

Unlike FSR

zinc marsh
#

Nvidia is on top for that

wild mesa
#

Hmm 100 more for the 5070 what do you say?

native raven
#

i say save

zinc marsh
#

Honestly getting anything but Nvidia for productivity is a very risky decision

native raven
#

also your only decision 🤑

wild mesa
native raven
#

save those 100

zinc marsh
native raven
#

5080 is another extreme here... way out of budget

wild mesa
#

How is the 5060ti in 1440p?

zinc marsh
#

In AAA stick to 1080p

wild mesa
#

And with dlss?

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

Oh man

#

I hate this

zinc marsh
#

Welp on max settings even 5070 Ti is not enough

#

Nothing is

wild mesa
#

Okay is it future proof tho

zinc marsh
#

Except 5090 because it's in its own league

wild mesa
#

How long do you think the 5060ti will last?

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

In terms of performance

zinc marsh
#

So like 5-8 years

wild mesa
#

So its the same for the 5070

zinc marsh
#

Maybe 10

#

If you don't mind lowest settings

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

Okay

zinc marsh
#

Non silicon might destroy the current stuff

#

Or nothing will change and only AI will improve

wild mesa
#

What is that?

forest sparrow
#

Trivio how is it every chat you end up in being 200+ messages long

wild mesa
#

☠️

forest sparrow
zinc marsh
# wild mesa What is that?

Silicon chips have a physical limitation for transistor size of 2-3 nm. We're close to that so real performance won't increase that much until something major changes

wild mesa
#

Okay okay

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

Okay okay okay

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

#

Or 100 more for a 5070

#

God damn

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

I have been thinking about it for like a few weeks

zinc marsh
forest sparrow
#

thats a 9 year old card

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

Yeah i do too

#

Money is a thing for me

#

I barely get stuff

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

I might buy one of the 2 today

zinc marsh
#

But then you can upgrade to a 50 card for no money

wild mesa
#

Cause i am going to a storr

forest sparrow
#

im running this thing at 1440p

#

its crying

wild mesa
#

The thing is

forest sparrow
#

but it works

wild mesa
#

I dont own a single triple a title

#

☠️

zinc marsh
#

None will give you max settings anyways

forest sparrow
wild mesa
#

Oki thank you guys very much

#

Thats like acutally hella kind of you

zinc marsh
zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

Thanks for spending your time and helping me

#

I will decide

forest sparrow
#

thats why we are here

wild mesa
#

And let you know

#

Later

forest sparrow
#

helping people get things we cant afford 🤣

#

have fun with the gpu

zinc marsh
forest sparrow
#

you mean you

wild mesa
#

Oh my

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

But its funny

zinc marsh
#

Like quite active

wild mesa
#

I always see the same people in the server

#

I joined 4 years ago

#

And the same people still send messages

#

☠️

zinc marsh
#

So it always ends up being a friend group gc with randoms in it

wild mesa
#

The server has actually helped me a lot

#

Even when i initially bought my 1660super

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

At the time of the shortage

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

I waited for months

zinc marsh
#

If it had 8-16 Gb of VRAM, it'd still be a fine GPU

wild mesa
#

Old gpus were generally a little better in price to performance back then

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

How much

#

Isnt it like 150

zinc marsh
zinc marsh
#

So I spent 1300 on the whole system

#

Before that I was using a 2012 iGPU

wild mesa
#

Oh yeah shit i remember

zinc marsh
#

15 FPS in BeamNG, GTA 5 in 600p etc etc

wild mesa
#

I almost got one at release

#

I was camping for it

#

They launched at like 350

#

And were out of stock

#

In seconds

#

Didnt get one and thats probably good

zinc marsh
#

There was the RX 6600 which costed the same and had 3060 performance

#

But welp 3 FPS with RT

wild mesa
#

Yeah but it was during the shortage

#

Everyrhing was shit

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

And i didnt know shit about gpus as well

#

Was coming from integrated graphics

zinc marsh
#

After all for cyberpunk on max settings (path tracing) in 1080p native you need a 5080

wild mesa
#

Oh yeah true

zinc marsh
#

Barely gets 60 FPS in dogtown

#

So yeah

#

Only the 90 series makes some sense

wild mesa
#

The gaming industry is shit in general

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

It was

#

Hella fine

#

But now

zinc marsh
#

Trust me it'll get worse

wild mesa
#

It feels like every game is the same

#

At least for me

zinc marsh
#

Investors want something and they can't give anything except AI

#

So more and more AI will come

wild mesa
#

Its crazy how ai has developed in like 2 years

zinc marsh
#

Neural rendering is almost ready

#

Then no game will be real

#

All just AI generation more or less

zinc marsh
#

*terrible

#

Idk

wild mesa
#

I think it could be good

#

But i guess its gonna be abused

#

I like ai tbh

#

But not entirely

#

Some stuff just shouldnt have anything to do with ai

zinc marsh
zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

Well not sure about that

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

Ai can help a lot in medicine

#

I come from the sector

wild mesa
#

Thats ttue

zinc marsh
# wild mesa Well not sure about that

Medicine should have no room for error. If AI can boost development but kill 100 people a year, it should be banned and people who proposed it should be put in mental facility for life

#

And yes I'm heavily right wing

wild mesa
#

Well i am not

zinc marsh
#

Mental facilities and jails are amazing

wild mesa
#

But i get your opinion

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

No worries

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

I just think that it can be of good assistancr

zinc marsh
#

Me respect those who respect others unlike people who don't respect anyone except their niche community

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

In no means ofc

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

Definitely not

zinc marsh
#

Anyways gtg send my new (second hand) phone to warranty repair

#

Battery ded

wild mesa
#

Alright alright

#

Will tell you on what i decided

zinc marsh
wild mesa
zinc marsh
#

Am sleepy

wild mesa
#

alright i need your opinion

#

one last time

#

i went to the store

#

all they had was a 5070

#

i didnt buy anything

zinc marsh
#

Ig it's a sign

wild mesa
#

but i am close to just ordering the 5070

#

i could also order a cheaper 5060 ti

zinc marsh
#

But don't get an expensive 5070 like asus strix

wild mesa
#

but i am so close to just ordering the 5070

#

the cheapest is the gigabyte one

#

with 3 fans

#

530

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

euros

zinc marsh
zinc marsh
#

So cheap 😭

#

Compared to my prices ofc

wild mesa
#

the cheapest 5060 ti 16 gig is 440

#

but i kinda want the 5070

#

but i also feel bad for spending 500+ euros

#

☠️

light sleet
#

☠️

zinc marsh
#

The 5060 Ti

wild mesa
#

its 16

zinc marsh
#

Oh

light sleet
#

Bro

wild mesa
#

yes

#

☠️

light sleet
#

Ok

wild mesa
#

so uh

#

530 or 440

light sleet
#

5060ti will be great for your tasks and for casual gaming

zinc marsh
#

Hmmm 5060 Ti can't get 60 FPS in GTA 5 RT 1440p

light sleet
#

With or without dlss

zinc marsh
zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

i have the money

#

in fact i have a lot of money

light sleet
#

Ok

wild mesa
#

could also buy a 5090

light sleet
#

Get what you want

wild mesa
#

but man

light sleet
#

Bro

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

5070

light sleet
#

If you can buy a 5090

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

☠️

zinc marsh
#

Nowadays it's worth it

wild mesa
#

okay i take it back

light sleet
#

Well

zinc marsh
#

Better is better

light sleet
#

Just get a 5070 will be great

wild mesa
#

how much you think i could power limit it to?

#

in watts

zinc marsh
light sleet
#

Also up grade to 1440p because that will make everything a little more enjoyable and allow the GPU to have some power

#

Wait what’s your psu?

wild mesa
#

well people told me that my psu would be enough

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

550 watts msi i dont have demanding components

light sleet
#

💀

zinc marsh
#

5050 it is

wild mesa
#

people told me it would be fine

#

and i am sure it is

light sleet
#

Get a new psu

#

Bro

zinc marsh
light sleet
#

That 5070 needs 550 watts on its own

zinc marsh
#

550 is not enough

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

it needs 250

light sleet
#

No

#

That’s a lie

zinc marsh
zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

especially undervolted

zinc marsh
light sleet
#

You want to go above the estimated wattage amount by like 150

zinc marsh
light sleet
#

I mean

#

Not technically

zinc marsh
#

Lol it might even be an F grade one

#

@wild mesa you are cooked with that PSU

light sleet
#

No the Msi is b or a

#

It’s a great psu

#

But not enough watts

zinc marsh
zinc marsh
#

550 for a 5070 💀

#

GPUs are way less power efficient than in the past

light sleet
#

I’m sorry bro you need more watts

wild mesa
#

well just googled it i see many people trying it out

light sleet
#

It might work but there is risk

zinc marsh
zinc marsh
#

At some point Windows will break

#

Then clean install

wild mesa
#

exploding doesnt make much sense

#

the pc would just shut down cause of power insufficiency

zinc marsh
#

Ok I'm out of here already

wild mesa
#

alright man

light sleet
#

If it’s drawing too much power from the psu the psu goes in overdrive to produce it which is impossible and it just explodes

#

Simplification

#

I’d get a 5070 and a Msi mag 750 watt

wild mesa
#

nah not spending another 80 on it ima just get a 5060ti then

light sleet
#

Ok

#

Great

#

If you can afford a 5090 than an extra 80 shouldn’t be a problem bro

wild mesa
#

there is no logic behind this

#

i have a set budget

#

and even tho i have the money i still value it

#

its nonsense to just continue spending and spending

#

i will stick with the 5060ti

#

thanks for your help

native raven
#

what have i walked into

wild mesa
#

no clue

zinc marsh
wild mesa
#

i will get the inno 3d one

native raven
#

how did we go from 5060ti to 5090

wild mesa
#

i said that i could afford a 5090 but have a budget

native raven
#

oh

#

well obviously. most people could afford it but choose not to

wild mesa
#

yes

#

no need for one

#

then i said i had a 550 w psu which some people told me would be enough for an undervolted 5070

#

i guess its not

#

so i stick to the 5060ti i guess

#

which is fine as well

zinc marsh
#

Inno3D is bad

#

Get literally anything else

wild mesa
#

i dont want an oc one

zinc marsh
#

Man you're really getting in trouble

#

I don't wanna be involved in this lol

wild mesa
#

alright its fine
