GPU upgrade decision.
Posted by Ceiling___Man@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 3 comments
I am upgrade my current GPU to a 5070, but can’t decide which to get. I have found two cards at the same price being the ASUS prime and the PNY.
I’d like to know which card would be better, thanks in advance!

Between those two I'd lean ASUS Prime. PNY makes decent cards but their coolers tend to run louder under load and the build quality on the shroud feels cheaper. ASUS Prime is more conservative in terms of factory OC but the thermals are usually better and the build feels more solid long term.
That said, what's your case airflow like? If it's not great the extra headroom on thermals matters more.
