im stuck between the 4070ti super Zotac or the asus tuf version, are you overpaying for the asus card just due to the brand name? thanks

Go look up AMD RADEON 7900 GRE.
Should be available in USA, CAN, UK as of yesterday with a price of approx $550-580 USD

I wouldn’t pay $150 for ASUS as you are getting close to 4080super range at this point. I would get Zotac or upgrade to 4080 super.

7900xtx has shadow play and it lets you record using RAM instead of Nvme for temporary files. RT is OK and usually close to 4070 performance but no DLSS.

I personally don’t like the current prices of higher end cards as we are getting to close to new GPUs to not have significant discounts.

Next gen is still 6-7 months away. And the only ones coming out in 6-7 months will cost $1200-2000 USD.

I know, and you can wait forever with such thinking. We may also get into another Bitcoin boom or a high prices period for any other reason.

I simply don’t like that the 4080, 7900xtx, and 4070ti super aren’t cheaper at this point. It can be especially painful if the 5080 comes at $999 with a nice boost to performance, and who knows if not some new features (DLSS4?) in just 7 months.

Tough choice at the moment. I would recommend 4070Tisuper from Zotac probably as a safer bet. I like my 7900xtx but bought it at a price close to 4070ti. RT performance is fine but no DLSS bothers me a bit.

yeah the XTX atm is just a little bit more than the 4070ti super so either would work, or like you said maybe look into 4080 super hmm... honestly lookin though maybe the 7900XT would be on par with the 4070ti super? and its 150 less or so.

nvidia will 100% keep feature gating the new cards to entice more consumers.

I would still wait because where I live cards go regularly on sale half a year after release. not by much but you save 50-100$ which is nothing to scoff at considering how many families live with that kind of money on a weekly basis.

I'm hoping that next gen they introduce another banger of a card like the 3060ti but with 20gb of vram and maybe 150W. it would be perfect for my small case that I cramped into my living room table.

7900xt is better but has inferior rt, inferior upscaling. it depends on what you are looking for. if rasterization is all you need, then go with amd. they price / performance ratio is unbeatable atm

i do like some RT on the off chance i play some new story game but i primarily play 90 percent multiplayer games as for upscaling i dont use it unless i need help with some fps, how are amd drivers these days? they reliable and frequent?

i have some attachment to nvidia for whatever reason where i feel like amd is kinda meh but thats due to not keeping up with amd the last few years

it's amd. either it works or it doesn't. it's unlike nvidia where you can opt for studio drivers and choose stability over early game support

The Studio Drivers are more for people who are using an RTX GPU for work apps that could benefit from CUDA.

Not sure where you are looking to buy from I've only quickly looked at Scan and Overclockers (my usual stops for buying my parts) but found this one.

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gainward-geforce-rtx-4070-ti-super-panther-oc-16gb-gddr6x-pci-express-graph-gra-gnw-01536.html

I've used Gainwards in the past for years and never had any problems with them, although I always went for their Golden Sample editions.

Expensive. UK's getting ripped off a bit.

That's RTX 4080 pricing in Australia

yep like me but I don't work professionlly. doing what I do as a hobby but nonetheless the studio drivers are more stable :)

[Guydodge]

i owned both zotac and a asus tuf bought the zotac 3080 during the shortage waiting
to come up in que for my EVGA 3090 while the card ran fine it was kinda unstable in the sense
it would jump up and down in mhz constantly and didnt over clock much at all.i now own a
4090 asus tuf and runs great and overclocks quite a bit.also built like a tank.go for the
Tuf card well worth the 150.00 more IMO.

Overall, the Studio Drivers are in no way meant for Gaming. If the latest Game Ready Driver is an issue at all, then uninstall it or DDU wipe everything for GPU and download + install a slightly older game ready driver. I always keep a few versions behind with game ready drivers for this very reason. The very latest drivers are more for a select few very latest games, most of those games should be avoided at launch until patched anyways
