RTX 2070 Super to RTX 3070 not TI worth it?

[GazCBG]

Hi,

 

I currently got a RTX 2070 Super and looking to upgrade to a RTX 3070 (not ti) and would like to know is it worth the upgrade?

It will be used for gaming and gernel usage.

 

Below I have listed my PSU, Motherboard and CPU:

PSU: Be Quiet Straight Power 11 750w
Motherboard: MSI X570-A Pro
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600

 

Regards,

Gaz

I would be saving up a bit more to go for something else. The 3070 is a bit of an uplift, yeah, but it's not massive. There's not a ton that a 3070 can do that a 2070S can't. Personally I'd want at least a 3070 Ti for an upgrade, and a 3080 or higher would be preferred (including all AMD equivalents). If you snag a really good deal on one used, say $300-350 for a 3070 yeah go for it, it's a pretty nice upgrade for not that much more and 3070s are the highest end GPU from Nvidia I'd personally feel comfortable buying used (GDDR6X can degrade a bit from mining, and most 3070 Tis and higher I would assume were used for mining and I wouldn't trust the long term reliability of those cards). Plus, next gen GPUs are right around the corner, so it's probably worth waiting and getting something like a 7700 XT or RTX 4060 Ti when it releases.

Not really. The 3070 is a 2080 replacement and a 2070 super already comes close to those levels.

 

So basically a waste of money.

Thanks for the replies, this is what I thought it wasn't worth it, just wanted it confirmed.

I will look for a 3070 Ti.

The 3070 was the 2080 Ti replacement, the 3060 Ti was the 2080 replacement. 

 

Your conclusion is still right, but there is more of a gap than you gave credit for.

Yup true but doesnt the 2080ti still perform 10% better than a 3070?

 

I looked it up again and my tought of about a 15% difference between the 2070s and 3070 is true so not a good upgrade that you might often not even notice

No, the 2080 Ti performs about the same as the 3070 which is ~10% better than the 3060 Ti.

About 30 percent uplift in performance
