1080Ti or 5700Xt (Does it still have driver issues?)

[OnlyAxolotl]

Looking upgrade my GPU for 1080p 144HZ Low settings gaming. 

 

The 5700xt is appealing but have seen many report so issues with the product realting to drivers issues.

 

Have those been ironed out. 2070 is too expensive and I feel like I'm wasting it on ray tracing that will never been used Will  be upgrading to 300 series when it releases.

The 5700 XT easily - it has full warranty and the same or better performance. Drivers are also fine these days.

[Statik]

iirc the 5700xt issues have been fixed.

 

What do you currently have? Both of those are 1440p high settings cards. 1080p low settings you can easily do like a 1660Ti and kill it.

Nevertheless, I'd recommend a 5700xt, as I generally don't recommend buying old tech (not to discredit the 1080Ti in any way.)

 

 

Also if you buy either of these cards for 1080p you'll just be throwing away money upgrading to 3000 series. If you have a GPU I'd probably just recommend holding out with that, but if you're adamant on doing 2 upgrades in a year, just buy like a 1650 or 580 used until the 3000 series comes out.

what? the 1080ti is a 2080/ super competitor.

what are they both priced at? and can you wait for ampere and big navi?

Have a 1070 and the card underperforms for competitive play in Apex legends, looking for stable 144hz at lowest settings. Get large drops with the 1070.

 

Just watched some 1080ti vs 5700xt Apex comparisons and it seems the 1080ti has the edge, maybe that was weaker drivers the beginning?

the 1080ti is generally faster.

a 1070 should do for now. so wait for ampere and bug navi.

Ampere isn't coming for 6 months or so right? 

 

Can sell my 1070 for 220 and then spend the extra 150 on a 5700xt

I think upgrading from a 1070 to a 1080Ti/5700xt is a huge waste of money, if you're just going to upgrade to nvidia 3000 imho

The 1070 definitely doesn't do. I get huge frame drops down to 60fps when I need 144fps stable for competition.

should be around September. waiting will be worth it.

that seems odd, i have a 1050 4gb with 80ish avg fps on low settings in 1080p but never seem to have a massive fps drop-off 

*i have no idea how it performs in the new update though

I'm used to high FPS so dropping to 90fps, which is in between the frame latency makes it feel really laggy. Actually 60fps is smoother than 90fps because of this.

Release yes. Depending on your country -availability will be December-February

What are the rest of your system specs?

If you drop the graphics settings to lower / lowest detail, it should put less load on the GPU.

Usually, at that point, the CPU / RAM becomes the limiting performance factor.

The GPU is definitely limiting in apex on max low

No you are underestimating the 16 series  

i have a 1660 ( NON Ti) and it can run all the AAA titles at high settings , 1080p ,60fps

I never said they were bad... I said they were good. I have a 1660Ti in my laptop and it shreds 1080p 144fps in lots of games. I just said it's a cheaper, better option than a 5700xt, etc for 1080p

[i_build_nanosuits]

1080ti is a much stronger GPU with more memory and better driver and game support...that's all i'm gonna say.
