2070 Super to 4070ti

[8-Bit Ninja]

Evening all, 

 

I've been out the hardware loop for a little while. Looking at upgrading from a 2070 super to a 4070ti. Is this a sensible move, is there better value to be had from the AMD side or a difference Nvidia GPU? 

 

Lastly any brand recommendations, I've always gone with gigabyte and had no issues, but again opinions welcome

 

Thanks in advanced

you still running the 6700k?  I wouldn't bother until you've upped that.  The best way to check is lower all your settings and resolution to the lowest.  release the load on the GPU then run your game.  Your framerate at this point will be as high as it ever will be. regardless of what GPU you're running

ah.  you should get some good frames then.  still worth taking the load off your 2070 super and giving a few games a blast at 720p so you can see your 'CPU' frames.  You can also download a tool from intel called present mon.  GN did a piece on it a couple of days ago.  it gives you a metric on how 'long' your GPU is actually busy for or if it's waiting around for the CPU to do the rest of the work

 

edit:  iirc Present Mon isn't an intel tool it's open source.  but intel provide a version of it that includes the GPU Busy metric

I would think about the 7900xt the value being in 8gb more vram for less money/similar (in uk)

Looking at these prices the only reason to go 4070ti is for DLSS or RT

I would probably avoid gigabyte , I'm sure there 4070ti is fine but they left a sour taste in my mouth after they refused to rma cracked pcbs on there high end cards which was causing by a design oversight.

 

That being said if you didn't buy from company's that are at times being unscrupulous then you probably wouldn't be able to buy anything.

I think it depends on where you are regionally. I got my 4070 Ti for over 300 cheaper than the cheapest 7900XT.
