I have been considering a big upgrade from my RTX 1060 6GB for a while now. It took me a while to decide whether I wanted to upgrade to a RX 9070 XT or a 5070 Ti, even now I'm not 100% sure on it, but Nvidia's RT and Frame-gen advantage has pushed me towards the 5070 Ti. I doubt you care, so I'll get to the important bit.

 

I have found a number of cards at, or around, MSRP - I honestly don't mind paying an extra £20 over it. I have narrowed it down to five cards.

  • Gainward Phoenix V1
  • MSI Ventus 3X OC
  • Palit GamingPro Blackwell (non-OC) - OC version is out of stock
  • PNY Epic‑X RGB OC Plus
  • Zotac Solid Core OC

 

I care about, in order of importance:

  1. Performance
  2. Temperatures/Cooling
  3. Noise levels
  4. Looking cool is the least of my concerns, although all of these do looks cool to me.

 

I will be getting a new PSU to go along with it, probably 850W? For now, it will be paired with a Ryzen 5 7500f, although that will be my next upgrade (to a 9800x3D hopefully). Thanks.

 

Edit: I have narrowed it down to PNY Epic‑X RGB OC Plus or Zotac Solid Core OC
