Support NeoGAF

I'm considering getting one of these to replace my rtx 3070. Seems like a good 1440p card, if I ever buy a new monitor that actually supports that resolution.

Its roughly 80% faster from ur 3070 on avg

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Specs

NVIDIA GA104, 1725 MHz, 5888 Cores, 184 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 8192 MB GDDR6, 1750 MHz, 256 bit

About getting 1440p monitor- its great choice coz u can always use res scaling in more demanding games, i do it on my 4k monitor and 3080ti in most demanding/newest games is nowhere near strong enough anymore but count in dlss and it can last me till future 5080ti/super or 60xx cards(or amd's rdna 5, i welcome any great gpu with open mind here).

I guess I got lucky because I was only interested in that model, which meant when orders opened they didn't evapourate in seconds like the MSRP models.

I'm very happy with it yeah, the cable management is genius.

I will probably get another Nitro when I build a new pc in a few years.

Just checked for stock, saw Pure and Nitro+, and went for it - bough the Nitro+!

Now I need to buy the rest of a new build to match, as it might be a slight bottleneck to put it alongside my i5 4690k from 2013 or whatever it was.

Congrats! I'd recommend using a native 12 pin for the GPU. My Corsair PSU predated that power cable but luckily they sold a backwards compatible one that plugs in to two PCI slots.

Just a slight one..... and by slight i mean

Spoiler

really fucking huge. In fact I'd bet that GPU is being neutured to 6600 speeds

Amazon has the gigabyte 9070 oc non xt available to order for Prime members at shipping in about 2 weeks for $670.

My local Microcenter got a handful of XFX Quicksilver 9070 XTs in this afternoon and I raced over after work. Apparently unnecessary as I was the first one there, but I wasn't chancing it. Bought above MSRP, of course ($860 pre-tax), but my current rig... has been chugging along in a concerning manner recently, so I'd rather get started on a fresh build sooner rather than later.

It's a nice card. And considering closest alternative in 5070Ti cost around $950-1000 now days, it's a very solid choice.

Radeon 9600?

Seems like it, and probably some laptop stuff.

I ordered a 5070ti from Newegg yesterday for $840 which will be here Tuesday, so $900 with taxing and shipping. The 5070ti prices have started dropping. Heck there are $899 versions available now as we speak. At what point does the 9700xt price with markups lose the value at the lower price point? Sure at $599 that makes sense and is a good price. But when you get above $800, I don't know. Bazzite maybe is a justifiable reason? I weighted both options, before jumping on the card. I actually ordered a 9070xt and 5070ti each before cancelling each, finally decided on reordering the 5070ti a couple days later for the same price due to NVidia suite and ray tracing performance delta over the 9700xt. Silly that the 9700xt has ballooned to over 140% over the original msrp. But who knows with the tariffs maybe this will be the norm, as they seem to be going back and forth every other week of what is and isnt excluded.

Yeah, that's the big question, isn't it. If we have a 9070xt and 5070Ti approaching same retail price, the overall choice becomes much more interesting.

Personally I wound up keeping 5080 that I managed to get near MSRP, but a 9070XT would still have been interesting due to better Linux support and much closer performance vs prior gen unless we are talking Path Tracing.

Personally I'll lean towards AMD if things continue as they are. It's clear Nvidia don't give a fuck about gaming anymore.

AMD have released some very gamer orientated products in the last few years, particularly the x3D CPUs and RDNA 4. If they show the appetite to fill the void that Nvidia are leaving then I'll support them.
