Hello everyone,

I have a question and I’d like to know what you think about it.

Currently, I’m using an RTX 3060 12GB and I’m considering upgrading because I now have a 1440p QD-OLED 240Hz monitor.

I was checking out the specs and benchmarks of both GPUs, and honestly, they’re both quite impressive. In my country, both cards are roughly the same price (the RTX 5070 Ti is only about $50 more than the RX 9070 XT), so the price difference isn’t really a deciding factor.

However, when looking for benchmarks specifically for War Thunder, there’s very limited data on both cards.

I found this site: Techspot
Which claims there’s a 17% performance difference!! I’m not entirely convinced and would really appreciate your opinions. ;)

Which one do you think is better for War Thunder?

If you own one of these two cards, could you share your average FPS stats in War Thunder?

Personally I think both are just ‘overkill’ specially for a game like War Thunder that doesn’t require much of the system, specially a mid to high-end system.

But if you’re willing to upgrade and I can’t say no, I believe that NVidia has better support for War Thunder than AMD, there are few features in-game that can sort of confirm this statement,

It will also depend on your operational system, if it’s Windows, I think RTX 5070Ti is the best choise.

9070 XT would be cheaper but is slower iirc? Plus you won’t get most of Nvidia’s features. Which is why i’ve never made the switch as i’ve had issues in the past with AMD’s software in games. (they have gotten better over the years)

I think for ‘future proofing’ Nvidia is the best bet currently still, I don’t have the cards you mention. But i play at 1440p on a 4060ti. Get upwards of 250-300 fps on mostly maxed textures. (not using raytracing)

Don’t just buy the gpu’s for war thunder, Buy them based on other tasks you will also do if you do any work at the computer & keep shopping around on reviews to make the decision. Some sites are a little missleading.

i would go with the AMD card because you get more performance for your money

As i mentioned, Websites are misleading. & Yes ik you took that snippet from linus’s video.

Spoiler



Most of the graphs in linus’s video still prove Nvidia’s card is still better. So yes it is still slower in most cases.

it is only by a handful of FPS tho
i dont think that a few frames more are worth 100$ more
in the end OP has to decide if he thinks it is worth it

I agree, But yeah it depends on the prices near him.

if its pure WT then 5070Ti is the choice
however 9070xt average out 5070 Ti by a slight margin so if u do play other games then id chose 5070 Ti
part of it being Nvidia predatory control on vram
