Upgrading from 4070 S - Where go?

Posted by vikins_@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 17 comments

I know, I know, this is probably asked multiple times a week. But tech is so nuanced on a setup to setup basis, and everything keeps getting more expensive so I want to make an informed purchase.

I play all varieties of games from mobile game ports to Crimson Desert

I typically try to run as close to max as I can in 4k with DLSS + FG but it's clear that the upscaling and FG are carrying the majority of the load. Current setup is..

i7-14700k ±4.8 Clock Speed

4070 S

(2x16) 32 GB DDR5 5600 MHz

sell the 4070 super and get a 9070xt. amazon has a really good deal going on right now: https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-9070XT-Triple-RX-97TSWF3BA/dp/B0DW4FRCQR?crid=9F9WDDSBWGL1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6RlGKSMJy30aJhhjxtrTFZ3P2_QNqStV1BafNFATDwUvJDeIO9WaVjqRYv8ArwdYPVQ1jsNJm-ndGafEs0T2NbvuF71NX4p_p-ADv7HFZw8SMuKWbmEql89KzNQmQLb2iKng9UlkGfScehJKkvVlIXmLia_Hxyv55zpI7sMOO2LYEtIr7N8vfSLPbsx8br9OcPh7WyABYXLdZGdja7TGsoHFql76a9uRqctZh0uGhj0.Y6XQdl_A9cAUimrcBIASmD7jxo87OmcWO69WpfZCCgU&dib_tag=se&keywords=9070%2Bxt&qid=1776227628&sprefix=9070%2Bxt%2Caps%2C198&sr=8-3&th=1&linkCode=ll2&tag=aarworks-20&linkId=f3bfabc4ba2aee21b700697ac139d7cd&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

Stop talking yourself into getting a new shiny that you don't need.

5070ti. 5080. 5090.

That's it. There's no where else to go.

It goes from ~1000$ to 3500$.

You can get a good resell value on a 4070 Super currently if you're going to make a jump up.

Where the hell are you finding 5070 TI for 800?

5080 minimum, not even 5070 can guarantee 60FPS base frames with DLSS Perf

Don’t. It’s not worth it for the amount of money you will be spending for fairly small gains.

So basically after your setup, just purchase the most expensive parts, and you should be good.

I would actually just buy a 1440p OLED monitor, instead of max settings use high settings with DLSS quality and use the 4k monitor as a secondary monitor.

If you wanted to play 4k you should have gotten a 4070 Ti Super and even then you’d using DLSS and adjusting settings. The 4070 S was never meant to be a 4k gpu, it was meant to be a high end 1440p/enthusiast tier 1080p gpu.

I'd say no where.

Just wait for the next gen, your card is very very capable at 1440p

9okm@reddit

I'd just stop playing at max.

I'd agree, I have a very similar set-up (14900k, 4070s @ 4K) and there's nothing at the moment worth the upgrade without spending ridiculous amounts. Personally I'm waiting for next gen (either AMD or Nvidia) and getting whatever I can on release for MSRP
