Could you give us some examples from the recent past where AMD drivers were unstable while Nvidia wasnt?
I honestly haven’t heard of any widespread or long-term driver issues lately. I’ve been using AMD cards for over a decade and can only recall one major incident after the launch of the RX 6000 series, which was quickly addressed with a hotfix. Both AMD and Nvidia have had driver hiccups over the years, but neither is consistently worse than the other.
That said, I think you already answered your own question. You seem to have a bias against AMD and you clearly prefer DLSS over FSR (and that’s fair cause DLSS is widely considered to be superior in terms of image quality and performance).
So yes, the RTX 5070 Ti or even the 5080 would make sense for you. Your used RX 7800XT should still sell for around 300–400 bucks, which means the 5070 Ti upgrade will effectively cost you about the same amount, depending on your region. That’s a very solid deal and a worthwhile upgrade if you ask me.
I’m not really wanting to tell people to buy a 16GB 70ti/80 this far in tbh, very likely these Super's will be out before April 2026.
AMD drivers are currently excellent and rock solid but the 5070Ti is a better GPU and better value in most countries.
If you had problems with AMD then you may have the same problems on Nvidia but this time you may blame games rather than drivers.
I don’t think this makes much sense tbh.
First of all, there is the availability issue. The RTX 5000 cards were sold out or priced way above MSRP in the first months after launch. That will most likely also be the case with the refresh so we are talking at least 8 to 10 months from now until the price is on MSRP level.
Secondly, 24GB for a 5070 Ti isn’t bad per se, but the performance will hit its limits much sooner than the VRAM. Even 16GB is more than enough for the vast majority of use cases on a 5070 Ti, especially since most people use this GPU for 1440p. Even in 4K, around 90–95% of current games do not exceed 16GB VRAM.
Third, the price. Why should someone pay 100–300 dollars extra for a card that basically has the same performance but only more VRAM? Even if there’s a slight uplift, it’s unlikely to justify the additional cost.
Last but not least, the RTX 6000 release. Why wait until late 2026 for a refresh with attractive prices, when at that point you’re only a few months away from the RTX 6000 cards, which will most likely outperform the 5000 refresh models anyway?
Honestly, with the holiday season coming up (where prices usually go up again), there’s really no sense in waiting any longer.
I've had both AMD and Nvidia GPUs, and frankly, I like AMD way more, it was performing better for me.
They should be the same price. Was 5070ti hard to get? 5090 didn’t exist for a few months, 5080 a few weeks, 5070ti didn’t really generate that much demand in comparison from what I saw.
I doubt late 2026, I said by April 2026.
VRAM reqs will bump up with the new consoles so I said, for future proofing, if OP upgrades every gen or two then it doesn’t really matter.
Also the Supers should lower the price of the existing cards anyways.
As a matter of fact, the 5070 Ti was extremely difficult to get at MSRP for months after launch. For normal users without bots, it wasnt really purchasable until April/May, and even then many models were still 200–300 bucks above MSRP.
Since the 5070 Ti hit the sweet spot in terms of price/performance, it sold like hotcakes, and you couldn’t realistically get one below four figures in some markets for quite a while. TechRadar even reported that launch stock was worse than the 5080 and that some retailers listed the card way above MSRP. That shows very clearly that availability and pricing are a real problem, and it’s naive to assume things will magically be different with a Super refresh.
And regarding your “should be the same price” point, leaks may claim that, but there’s no guarantee whatsoever. In fact, the opposite is far more likely. We already saw pre-launch listings of the 5070 Ti around €1169 in Austria, way above MSRP, and when Nvidia launched the 4000 Super refreshes the pricing wasn’t identical either. Some models came higher, and in practice scalpers and retailers inflated things further. So betting on “same price” is unrealistic, especially when you add 24GB of VRAM into the mix.
Now, about the VRAM argument. yes, 24GB sounds nice for “future proofing”, but the reality is that performance limits will hit long before VRAM does on a 70-class GPU. Even 16GB is more than enough for 1440p, and in 4K over 90% of today’s games stay within that range. Paying extra just for memory capacity doesn’t give you extra performance if the GPU itself is the bottleneck.
And last but not least, I mentioned late 2026 because historically it takes quite a while until new cards are available to the broad audience at reasonable pricing after launch. That was the case with the 4000 series, it’s the case now with the 5000 series, and there’s no reason to believe a refresh cycle will suddenly behave differently.
If you really want to wait, it makes much more sense to wait for the RTX 6000 series, which will most likely outperform any 5000 refresh anyway, instead of burning months just to end up paying more for a slightly modified mid-cycle card.
So no, it doesn’t really make sense to wait for a Super, either buy now if you need the upgrade, or wait for the next full generation.
And honestly, one more thing. People really shouldn’t fall for Nvidia’s shady business tactics here. Offering “Super” models with more VRAM months later is just a way to resell the same silicon at a higher margin. If they cared about customers, they would’ve given these cards more VRAM at launch for the same price instead of drip-feeding upgrades to squeeze the market. Supporting that strategy only encourages Nvidia to keep doing it.
And Im writing this as someone who bought the 5090 and is a big fan of Blackwell.
buy a Switch 2?
cuz when I saw that title I thought the op was thinking about upgrading from Switch to pc
