Do you need a 2070 super ? 

Nvec is nice but for a 3700x I'm gonna assume if your streaming you'll be using h.264 just get a 5700xt

for gaming yeah- Or I could go for Ryzen 5 3600 and use nvenc and it will lower my cost.

If you can afford the 3700x go for it 

If your streaming go for the 3700x if your only gaming 

There is no point in getting a 3700xt 

But if you want to lower the cost and not lose quality of stream a 2070 super will do

Or a 5700xt and use h.264 with a 3700x

(pairing with 3700x)

for streaming: yes, with nvec. (same quality as h264 fast on CPU)

for gaming: yes, it's the best fps/dollar ratio of high end gaming GPUs.

what about steaming/gaming same time?

Streaming with nvec causes around 5-10% performance hit. There is no other penalties. Games will run smooth, with steady frame-times.

5700xt is way better value

Uses more power, runs hotter, needs bigger enclosure, doesn't have nvenc.. anything else?

Not by as much as you would think

No ?

We are talking about non reference cards 

That's the case for both of these

Has a hardware encoder that's almost as good

It's a 100 dollars less

Okay - your points are fair. I don't think the guy's going to change his mind though, and I was reassuring him that the choice he made was a good one. Which it was. 

 

5700XT is between $400-450, RTX 2070 between $500-550. Difference of cca 20%. RTX 2070 is about 15-20% faster at 1440p depending on the game. By getting 5700XT, you're effectively paying less to get less.

 

I'm excited about the future of AMD GPUs though, and will recommend them more openly if they turn out to be worth a purchase. Not just because of value, but because of performance.
