Im currently looking to upgrade my graphics card but am stuck between The 5700xt and the 2070 super. im leaning more towards the 2070 super but i am going back and forth when i see the raw performance isnt too far apart and the price is pretty major. What  other thing might warrent me spending more money on the 2070 super that im not smart enough to know about and tell me if there is anything else i should upgrade instead.

 

Current specs 

ryzen 7 2700x

1070ti

moniter that is free sync but gsync compatible

500gb ssd, 2tb hard drive

16 gb ram

Well, Navi drivers have matured quiet a bit. They were 'incredibly problematic' before, now they're 'occasionally rage inducing'. They're by no means bullet proof, and problems still regularly come up, but they're a lot better than a few months ago.

Yeah I remember when Ltt first did the video on it at launch that was the biggest issue but seeing as it had been a bit since launch and also seeing the smaller markups for really nice name brand stuff I’m thinking I’m probably going to get the cheaper option.

Yeah, my 5700 doesn't black screen unless I try to make it fold, which is a big improvement compared to late last year. I think just gaming, you'll be fine.
