Help me decide which GPU is better
Posted by boobsmacked@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 13 comments
My current PC (by no means good, and it's like nearly 6 years old) is this:
Motherboard: A320M-A Pro (MS-7C51)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 16GB DDR4 3600
PSU: Coolermaster MPE 750w Bronze
I wanted to finally upgrade the GPU, and am currently eyeing a RTX 4070 Ti. I mostly only play 1440p, and my games are Genshin Impact, DotA 2, Sims 4, while sometimes running youtube/spotify on the side. Would this GPU be okay? Or can I have suggestions for a cheaper/more efficient option?

4070/5070 or 9060xt. I don't know about sims4, but dota performance is more reliant on the cpu, and genshin impact is pretty well optimized and not that demanding, so if you have the budget for a 4070ti and you want it, go for it, but your use case is not as intensive as you think. Personally I would go for the 5070, you can find it at msrp for around 550 bucks, and it has the benefit of being the newest gen card, so it is a little more future proof. Ofc, the 4070 and 9060xt are still excellent choices.

5070 costs ~$691 converted in my currency atm... but 4070 ($443) and 9060 ($480) are both within my budget. Are they good?

Sorry for the late reply. Yeah, both of those should be perfectly fine for your use case. If i were you I would get the 4070. The pure traditional rendering of the 9060xt is probably a tiny bit better, but the 4070 comes with the nvidia upscaling/fg and all the other features while the amd support for their consumer gpus isn't looking so good.

5070 or 9060 xt

At the moment, a 4070 costs $443. In comparison, a 5070 costs ~$788. But damn, I just checked and a 9060 costs ~$480! I can probably shell out a bit more for a 9060. Is it a better choice?

I actually have a 9070 xt i ' m really happy abou performance / upscaling with fsr4.
About the actually gpu's costs i suggest the 9060 xt , it's a really solid choise for 1440p and these kind of games u usually play on it.

The 9060 xt is slower in raster than the 4070 by like 15-20% but has newer upscaling.

Better think about rtx 5070.

I really recommend to buy newer gpu models, rtx 5070 are support all new technologies - dlss 4, FG and therefore it will be better in long term, but if you need just on few years gpu, then buy cheaper variant rtx 4070.

Depends on how much it costs compared to other options.

4070 Ti will crush 1440p, but a 4070 could save you cash and still handle those games easily.
