Any reason you're getting a 4070? Is it just to have something decent while you wait for Stepee's 4090? Just get a used 3080-3080 Ti or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird that it's cheaper to me. And no, I guess I don't need a 4070 ti super.

I just don't think it's worth going for a 4070/4070S/4070Ti for $700+ when you'll be getting a 4090 not too long afterwards, unless you really need the extra VRAM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, 6900-6950 XT is closer to a 3080 Ti than the 6800 XT (6800 XT is closer to a 3080 non-Ti): https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-radeon-rx-6950-xt-reference-design/30.html Looks like they're not much cheaper than a used 3080 Ti, so just stick with nVidia for the better RT performance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
