HELP-Next GPU to go forr

[San07]

So little context first, The PC was working very fine since Jan 2021 when I built it. It is cleaned after 1 2 months and maintained properly. One day I turned off the computer at night with some pending work and decided to do the rest early morning. When I normally turned the computer on in the morning, it suddenly smoked off and I could see white flames, I quickly turned the computer off. I think all the other components are fine since there were lights and fans were spinning when it burnt up.
Well I guess working late at night is the best option

So i went up to both NVIDIA and ASUS for some help. My card is the RTX 3080 Founders Edition, and the mobo is ASUS ROG crosshair VIII Dark Hero.

The PCIE slot of mobo was burnt and also the PCIE bus of the card.

ASUS RMA went surpisingly well, I didnt have any hopes but to my surpise I did get my mobo replaced albeit with a refurbished one.

The Graphics card however is been a pain. So first I emalied up NVIDIA, which gave me some hope by asking me "Address to Ship to" Details first. The informing me that it cant be replaced since they checked in with their back end team = "RP tech". They also informed me that the final decision whether or not replace the card is entirely on RP Tech. They told me I can go to RP Tech service center and see if I can convince them.

The RP Tech employee in Goregaon Branch - Mr Ankit Joshi has the ego of a CEO. When I entered the place I was greeted like a I have done a crime or something. I was aggresively told that "Why have you come, here for wasting my time".

I had called first before coming but as usual like previous calls, none of my calls were picked up.

Then i asked them about nvidia telling me to convince them, I was told that its "Nvidia RTX 3080" not "RP Tech RTX 3080".

I had to control my temper a lot due to the way I was treated. But i lost all hopes of it being replaced or repaired.

So now guys i need your little help,

Everything, my whole work is on that PC, So I need to get a new GPU or even if replace or repair this one (Which i know its not possible)

Well, never thought there's reverse bad tempered technician instead of bad customer

Never seen of burned PCIe pins before though, but thankfully ASUS and NVIDIA (at least the main office site) is supportive

Well, assuming you have $750 budget, it's either RTX 4070 TI or RX 7900 XT

If you don't want the hassle of DDU (DDU is nothing compared to replacing mobo and GPU at this point), you can probably go to RTX 4070 TI

But, if your main game is mainly doesn't concern Ray Tracing, Radeon RX 7900 XT is a really good card and performs better than RTX 4070 TI

Well I might go for 4070 but will it cause any bottleneck
And going for 4070 ti over rx 7900xt (20gb VRAM)
And what about the longetivity of it over the next few years
and also what about the Super Cards releasing

Well, I can’t really comment on the super cards because I don’t follow the detail specs and comparison to the current product on the market

 

If by bottleneck 4070, you mean hinder the performance, I highly doubt it, in fact when comparing RTX 4070 to your current RTX 3080, it probably has more or less same performance, and probably better with the AI bells and whistle

TLDR, it’s up to your budget, if you have less budget, go for 4070, and if you have more, go for 4070TI, it’s that simple
