3060 ti vs 5700xt

[LivelyCornet640]

I was wondering whether i should get a 3060 ti or a 5700xt, I got a 5700 xt for 350 dollars and was wondering if the extra money and waiting is worth it to get the 3060 ti. If I should get a  3060ti are there any cheap[ and decent gpus to get while waiting.

Are you building a new rig? Does $50 make a big difference for your spending?

 

$350 is not bad for a 5700 XT (depending on the model) but the 3060 ti has such good value if you're able to get your hands on one.

I already built it, I was wondering if I should switch it

nah, not worth running out to buy a 3060ti if you already have a 5700xt

 

unless if you feel like 5700xt isnt enough

I was just trying to see if i should do it to see if it was worth it because I got it just recently.

I have the MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT MECH OC Video Card - Newegg.com

if you can return it and get your cash back

and you want more performance, sure

 

but the 3060ti availability is a bit bad right now so you might end up without a computer to use for some time

 

buying a placeholder gpu sounds like a waste of money. tbh

[Mark Kaine]

isn't this a last Gen gpu? those don't compare to current gen gpus, especially in feature sets... if you got that 5700 recently you may be able to return it and buy a current gen card (30xx for Nvidia 6xxx for AMD)

true, they were available (between 500 and 600 euros) all day yesterday at several shops here, however, ALL sold out by now, unsurprisingly  with new stock to be TBA

thats the one reason that I am thinking of not doing it

I probably wont be able to use it until after march or feb

if you're contempt with your current card, i dont see a reason to do it

Yes it works very well for me but the 3060 ti is probably more future proof, I want to use this for at least 4 more years and then give it to my brother. Thats another reason why I am thinking it. Would the 5700xt be good for another 4 years

what does your "Future proof" mean

because it's different to each individual

 

if you play the same games forever, it'll perform the same forever

 

if you're willing to turn settings down i dont see if being an issue

and of course, depends on your desire and standards

 

but i don't see a point upgrading because something better is available, you'll never win

uograding when you feel like it's not enough, that's the way i would recommend

Also, the 5700xt is equal to a 2070 super, and a 3060ti is even better than a 2080 super.

on what resolution?

 

eitherway, would need a crystal ball to tell you the correct answer

but you seemed keen on upgrading, so why not go for it?

whatever makes u happy is what matters.

 

if it'll give you a peace of mind, go for it

[DoctorNick]

It would be much better value for you just to use the 5700xt for some time and then buy whatever new value card is out when you feel you lack performance. Even if you want to upgrade now. I would wait for 6700 XT reviews
