2070 Super vs 5700 XT

[Noyu]

Hi!

 

My 2400G APU Chopin build has been giving me problems recently and I'm looking to upgrade to a discrete graphics card.

Ignoring the fact that the 2400G may bottleneck the new cards, I'd like to get your opinion on whether a 2070 Super is a "better buy" compared to the 5700XT.

 

Currently I'm seeing the following prices locally.

 

5700XT

Gigabyte RX 5700XT Gaming - 448$ (cheapest)

Sapphire RX 5700XT Pulse OC - 465$

Sapphire RX 5700XT Nitro+ - 522$

Asus ROG STRIX RX 5700XT - 575$ (most expensive)

 

2070 Super

ZOTAC RTX 2070 Super Twin Fan - 522$ (cheapest)

ZOTAC RTX 2070 Super AMP! - 566$

ZOTAC RTX 2070 Super AMP! Extreme - 589.35$

Asus RTX 2070 SUPER STRIX Advanced - 720$ (most expensive)

 

• I play on a 1440p 60Hz monitor.
• I have a 600$ budget so at the very most, I do have enough for the AMP! Extreme. But I'm afraid I don't need it.
• I have plans on upgrading the CPU later to resolve the bottleneck (if any)

My personal opinion is to get either the Sapphire Pulse (cheap/decent), the ZOTAC Twin Fan (probably best price/performance), or the ZOTAC AMP! Extreme (YOLO).

 

Thoughts?

I agree that you might as well save your money by buying the Sapphire pulse if you're not going to upgrade that APU. A better card wouldn't improve games much if the CPU lags that much.

The Chopin can't fit a GPU

So if I do have plans to upgrade the CPU. would you recommend the Ntro+ or the 2070 super?

For most games the 5700 XT is almost as good as the 2070 Super. Either is fine but don't spend extra on a cooler. Grab the cheapest 2 fan card

gotcha so that suggestion AT LEAST removes the Nitro+ from my options.

It's now down to he Pulse 57090 XT vs ZOTAC 2070 Super Twin at a 57$ price difference.
