Just remember that a 50 series card isn't going to cripple a 4070 or 4080.
That's what I got instead of a 4070, for a similar price. The I/O shield was bent, but I ordered a new one from AliEx.
They both use 12+4 pin plug so if you have older PSU you need to use the adapter.
If you use 1440p monitor then 4070 Ti Super is enough, if 4K or 1440p ultrawide then better 4080 Super.
and to think they are going to make the 1080ti mistake again dont bet on it.the performance
on that card was one of nvidias biggest mistakes it cut into their profits to much they wont
make that same mistake twice !!!
The symptoms are steadily getting worse. Used to be that it only crashed if I played demanding games but now it just crashes with any game I play. It just crashed last night at the two hour mark while I was playing Dishonored 2... now its bleeding into just basic activities like watching a youtube video. As long as I am not playing anything, the crashes are random. It could go for days without any issues but can crash within the next 24 hrs. I am guessing this too will also become quite frequent over time. At best I can probably squeeze another three months before my PC becomes completely unusable but not enough time for the new reveal.
If it were upto me, I would save my money and wait but my hand is being forced so I want to make sure I get a card that will keep me satisfied well after the 50 series has been revealed along with revisions at affordable prices.
I did much rather invest in a new card with updated architecture that would last me longer for that price. The 3090 is a fast card with insane amount of Vram but it's also hitting its limitation with the outdated architecture. I did much rather get a card that will allow me to skip much of the next generation of cards to the end where there are a lot revised and affordable options.
I have yet to get into 2k gaming much less 4k. I am still getting used to 1440p so resolution isn't that much of variable for me. I am fine using a regular monitor as long as I am able to take advantage of other things like RT and regenerative AI coding outside of games.
But it's no longer just about being able to play the games on max settings. I am looking leverage the additional features that come with Nvidia's product into making games with the Unreal engine 5 along with the use of regenerative AI.
The rumor mill anticipates a 5000 series card in q4 2024 or q1 2025 at the very earliest.[www.techradar.com] The only thing we know for certain is that 5000 series should be out before 2026, because they showed a presentation with the 5000 series with a timeline showing the cards being released in 2025.[www.pcmag.com].
Now personally, I think Nvidia would do well to release the 5000 series sooner rather than later. Intel will release Battlemage sometime this year[www.techpowerup.com]. That much is confirmed by Intel. Similarly the 2022-2024 roadmap for A.M.D. suggests that they're releasing their 8000 series G.P.Us. sometime this year too.[wccftech.com] It'd be a pretty major blow for Nvidia if the whole graphics market was shaken up by their competitors, esp. if a hypothetical 8900 xtx overtook the 4090 and an 8900 xt overtook the 4080 Super. Nvidia can't compete with A.M.D. and intel down in the dirt on price with their current products, so I think what really keeps them afloat is their higher end products.
However, with that having been said, Nvidia is almost certain to release the top of their stack first with 90 and 80 sku cards. It'll take a while longer for the mid range products to enter the stack. So the question has to be this: How much money is it worth to you to get a G.P.U. upgrade in the intervening 9 months? If you could earn enough extra money by making a G.P.U. upgrade now that you could outright buy a 5080 (possibly after selling the 4070 ti super), then it does not make sense to wait.
Another thing to consider isn't just how many jobs you can take, but also the worth of the work experience. How much is 6-9 months worth of work experience with regenerative A.I. worth to you?
Simply put, the question for a professional is less "how much can I save" and more "can I afford to wait?" No advice can be given without knowing the difference it makes to your earning potential.
The only thing I can really think of is that for the amount of extra time you've spent waiting the super refresh cards aren't that much better. You're looking at say maybe a 5% performance bump? It would've probably been a better investment to buy the earlier versions, well, earlier. Hindsight is 20/20 though and at least it's something.
Going by your logic and considering that it has only been less than a handful of months since the release of the 4070 Ti Super, wouldn't this be the ideal time to purchase it as its still pretty early in it's life cycle? I have to imagine these cards won't go obsolete as soon as the next gen arrives. Unless Nvidia completely ditches their architecture and introduces something new, I imagine these recently released cards would be built to take advantage of future software updates and features.
Earlier is better under my hypothesis. The ideal time would've been a handful of months ago, but otherwise, sooner is still better. Also, the hypothesis only works if you can actually realize extra profit in the meantime. All I'm saying is that you need to weigh up your opportunity cost versus the potential savings.
Also, what I'm saying is for the amount you waited from the 4070 ti, to the Super Refresh Card, it's a pretty poor return on the lost opportunity.
The 4070 Super sees more like a 14% gain from the 4070, whereas the 4080 Super only gets a 3% gain in performance, but also a 20% drop in M.S.R.P. A 5% gain in performance for the same price isn't very much of a benefit to be realized from the amount of time you already spent waiting. Granted, the Ti Super also has more V.R.A.M. than the base ti, which is likely why you are considering it in the first place, but still the the 4070 ti super is the loser in price to performance gains in the super refresh. Also, you have to realize that percentages are proportionate, so that 3% gain might not seem as quite as impressive as a 5% gain, but it may be more comparable than you' think.
Granted, there's a hypothesis that the stack is engineered in such a way as to encourage such an upsell by gimping the previous two tiers of product, but even if you find such marketing tactics repugnant, you can't really rebel since you're locked into team green anyway.
