Which of these two 4070 Ti GPUs should I get?

[Feastables]

Should I get this one which has a slightly lesser boost clock speed? www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-WINDFORCE-Graphics-GV-N407TWF3OC-12GD/dp/B0C8ZLMKP9/
Or should I get this one which has a higher boost clock speed? https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Gaming-GeForce-Graphics-DisplayPort/dp/B0BQTSV2GG/

The former's boost clock speed: 2625 MHz
The ladder's boost clock speed: 2760 MHz

How much of a difference does this gap in boost clock speed make? I'm not an expert on GPUs but I'm definitely learning.

Oh here's my current specs btw:
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
16GB RAM
MAG B550 Tomahawk
Corsair CX750F 750 Watt PSU
And for good measure my case is a MAG Forge 100R

I prefer ASUS as a brand over Gigabyte. Worth the difference in price in my opinion.

I agree with you on price, the difference isn't so drastic. I like how compact the Gigabyte one is but the ASUS card simply looks like it'll be more necessary.

Short answer: 100 Mhz difference is going to be very negligible. I would prioritize quality and cooling.
I would pick the ASUS one if it were me personally
Gigabyte's cheap GPUs lineups (especially Windforce) are notorious for having issues with their fans (anywhere from being loud to having issues cooling the GPU itself)

Long answer:
Clock speed alone doesn't tend to make s much of a difference in performance, especially when we are few talking about few hundreds of MHz at best
100 MHz
Architecture > Clockspeed
Now, of course, if your graphics card or CPU downclocks by 1ghz then there is going to br a noticeable difference in performance but
A modern intel IGPU running at the same frequency as for example FX 5900 Ultra from 2003 would destroy it in raw performance due to it obviously having a miles better architecture and memory configuration.

Go with the cheapest, they will both boost higher than the stated speeds anyway temperature allowing.
I'd look at the zotac cards again this gen, or go with a founders.

Ive only got an asus strix now as I got it £700 off, the asus tax isn't worth it.

I don't understand why people are buying the 4070ti. I think people are just buying what they can afford rather than what makes sense.
These days, memory bus limitations in NVIDIA cards means they are ideally suited to specific resolution monitors, so the first question would be, what monitor do you have?

It's a 1080p monitor but early next year I'm upping to a 1440p monitor.

The reason I'm getting a 4070 Ti is because I've already had a discussion about what to get. Initially I was settled with getting a 30 series, trying to decide between a 3070 Ti and a 3080 Ti. Most everyone I spoke to in that thread said there's no reason to get a 30 series and that it would be better to get a 40 instead. After researching for two weeks since then, I've decided I'm getting a 4070 Ti. Right now I'm sticking with Nvidia. This does not mean a future build won't be AMD. I like AMD.

Edit: Here's the discussion I had a couple weeks ago.

Nvidia is selling dlss and frame generation. Frame generation is cool AF (sarcasm). It doubles your frame rate so, if you are getting 30 fps, you are getting a new frame every 33.3ms. Enabling frame generation will net you 60 fps, but it's still the same 33.3ms though. You get the latency that you would have with the lower frames but just more frames, but still with the higher latency of the lower frames!

And the frames aren't even real!! Like wtf? Yeah, idk. I think people lost their freekin marbles buying these new Nvidia cards. I wouldn't touch em personally. Even at a discount. More Nvidia scam.

Well I tried it for the first time yesterday in Cp2077, while id not use it in a competitive game (also not needed), it was pretty hard to detect a difference of any increased latency (in my brief test I couldn't feel any).

If you want raytracing or stuff to work, or even the myriad of extra features useful for streaming etc. Nvidia makes sense.

Now, if you just want rasterisation, the 6950xt is a monster that can be had very cheap for the level of performance if you just play competitive games.

This is a little sudden but I think I've decided to get the Radeon RX 7900XT.

Just noticed this thread but I was gonna say Gigabyte because I've seen Asus stuff literally melt/fail a lot in OC builds but that's my xp. Radeon is also another solid choice tbh but I hope you noticed the suggested psu recommendation for that one.

If your not chasing that raytracing eye candy, the AMD cards are a very strong option and cheap, comparatively.

Uhh no I did not see that actually... ♥♥♥♥...

You ha e a750w psu, you should be fine.

Pick up a power meter / monitor plug off amazon for 10 bucks, plug the system into it and you'll see how much power you are really using.

My old 9900k / 3090 buildocd to the limit where the gpu would pull 550w alone, rarely ever pulled 800w from the wall (allowing for 90% ish efficency I could just about run that on a 750w psu).

You have a less demanding gpu and cpu, I doubt your runnig a giant custom loop with 14 rgb fans and a D5 pump, so you should be good, id guess you'll pull 500-600w ish while gaming with a 7900xt abd your 5800x.

If you need a bigger psu, get one later, but, test h ok w much power you really need first.

I have a 1600w psu purely so the fan doesn't come on, not because it's needed.

[Feastables]

Yeah I looked around a bit and I think I'm fine for now but I'll get an upgrade once I get my 1440p monitor.
