2070s to pny 5070

Posted by Former_Hat_6890@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 29 comments

So I currently have a 2070s paired with a 5700x3D , I just purchased a pny 5070, was this the right choice? Some people are recommending to go with Amd. Opinions ?

Big difference? Mine comes on Friday, pretty stoked

Yeah there was a few newer games I was closely monitoring performance on, ff7 rebirth, cyberpunk, and atomicheart to name a few. Turned all those games up to max and runs great. Was only able to run these games on “high” settings before without super noticeable performance issues.

You ran ever setting max? I played cyberpunk and I think I had it on medium setting

If you bought it for $550 plus tax imo it’s a great upgrade which should work well with your cpu.

Yea I got it at msrp , they’re in stock at Best Buy so I just said fuck it. My 2070s has been great to me so I’m sure the 5070 will be even better

The same card was on Amazon at msrp a few days ago.

It’s $1,150 on Amazon right now.. that’s wild , I definitely feel like I made the right choice lol

Apparently, the companies that make these gpus are contractually obligated to sell a small number at msrp for next to no profit. After those are gone the prices get jacked up.

I see them available for delivery tomorrow from Best Buy right now as well. I think it’s regional

[-]

robertredberry@reddit

Actually, they are available now. Going to try to get one.

Did you get one?

I nearly got one, but had trouble with paying for it since I cancelled my credit card the day before. Now I'm second guessing my need for that good of a card. I think I will wait for an AMD 9060, but it's probably a bad decision. Plus, I don't want a Best Buy credit card.
