I can get a 4070 Ti for $30 less or a 4070 Super for $100 less. Better?
Super is better, it’s not worth paying extra for ti the gains are small, if it’s already worth it for ti super, but they cost a bit much, but it will last you for years, I myself had a dilemma whether ti or great, but in the end I recommend super
In this case the ti is actually cheaper than the super. The ti supers are not something I want to spend the extra money on. I agree.
The ti super is completely unprofitable, but it’s strange because in my case super is cheaper than the ti, but if so, buy the ti

Thank you. yes, the ti is normally more expensive. This one happens to be at Micro Center and is on sale.
if you go down nvidia route, i’m currently on a 4060ti playing on 1440p 144hz with also 32gb of ram. I get anywhere between 230-300fps on relativity high settings. With chrome and bunch of other things open.

That’s an exceptional frame rate. I also play at 1440p. Thanks for the benchmark.

Just remember that the rtx 4070 ti or super only have 12gb of vram, which is terribly little, so new games may not work on ultra

what? you know that this is mostly a non-issue rn?
Also Intel has its self-degrading chips for years without informing the customer and declining a recall
that could be even a performance impact on AMD, since an old Windows bug, that just got fixed for 11.
Also you won’t want to go Intel CPU with that
20 fps are not even playable. I’d rather go read a book and start saving my money for a better comp than to play a game at 20 FPS.
War Thunder runs just fine on linux
Please use the search function on the forums and look for stuff along the lines of
“GPU Drivers”
“Graphics Artifacts”
“Screen not working”
99% of those issues are from AMD GPUs.
Meanwhile 2000 hours in and 0 problems or issues ever for Nvidia for me.
I couldn’t pass up the deal on the Powercooler Hellhound 7900xt. $600 new. Everything is installed, and I’m just creating a Windows installation USB so I can install the OS, drivers, and then Steam/War Thunder.
I used my old case (which I love) and my old power supply which was overkill for my old system (Corsair RM750x) so for $1275 (tax included) I got an Asus TUF Gaming Wifi MOBO, 32GB of G.Skill Flare DDR5-6000, a BeQuiet Pure Rock Slim CPU cooler, the 7900XT, AMD 7600x3d, and a 1TB M.2 drive. I’m also reusing two of the Samsung M.2 drives from the old system, and the 6 case case fans, 3 GPU fans, and 1 CPU fan seem to be keeping things very cool.
Now to turn on EXPO for the memory, PBO for the CPU, and see how it games.
Note: The guy in front of me at Micro Center was buying an RTX 4090 which was $2000.
It’s honestly not that bad. I used to play war thunder on 10 - 15 on my old Toshiba laptop and it was fine. It’s harder to do now I’m used to 40 fps but still.
Oh my sorry for amd, I would never take a card from them, even if it’s a little faster than the rtx 4070 super, it still has poor technology and non-existent drivers, which are a huge problem in games
You know that this is selection bias?
Like only very few people that aren’t representative of the whole community post in these forums.
I can say similarly I have no issues with my AMD GPU’s. That doesn’t proof anything.
You would need the data from the report tools of Nvidea and AMD to compare stuff, and even then you have different customer bases.
Most non-enthousiasts go for Nvidea bc better known and change is hard, even if an AMD GPU would be better and cheaper in their case.
Non-enthousiasts are similarly less likely to go into some pc-hardware forums to discuss issues.
It’s never just looking at some numbers. The methology/data collection etc is basically the more important part.
the poor technology and non-existant drivers is an overexaduration.
For some years now the driver stability is basically equal for AMD vs Nvidea. Only Intel is behind quite a lot, but they only started to go back into the discrete GPU-market.
Feature wise, yes Nvidea is a bit better, since DLSS is generally a bit better than FSR (though FSR works on basically all architectures and isn’t locked down) and Nvidea has an advantage in raytraicing hardware.
Otherwise you may look at encoding, but that is not relevant for most people.
So just a small difference.
Especially since Nvidea now has actually updated their UI and isn’t on ATI-age stuff^^
At the medium to low end AMD is bc of price and more VRAM (so better textures possible) just better.
Just most people aren’t open to choose brands, but choose on emotions or outdated prsumtions.

Of course, with this low shelf you are right like the rx590, but I still think that I prefer to have better technology and ai than pure power, so I have to pay more for electricity and I have a heater in the room, I used to have an rtx 3070 and an i9-11900k, it was so hot in the room that you could barely live because the processor was doing brrrrr, so now I’m paying attention to the temperature and how much power the card and processor consume
You have my sincerest administration for this.
