4070 Opinions

[chickabumpbump]

So I finally got a new PC custom built.
Rog Strix B550
32gb of 3600 ram ( which caused the PC to have multiple BSOD issues on steam for some reason so its been dropped to 3400 )
Ryzen 7 5800X3D
An M2 and a SSD
and I still use my old 2060.

SO

Whats the opinion on the 4070, I see how its the new top card for 1440p games so im tempted to get it FOR Warhammer 3 as my main game

[Skkooomer Lord]

Considering my 6900 XT was 650 in November 2022 vs this for 590, I got the better deal.
The 6900 XT continues to get faster too as driver keep maturing the architecture.

Its going to be used for PC only games, no ray tracing needed.

Then AMD offerings, like the RX 6800/6800 XT/6900 XT/6950 XT offer very good bang-for-buck, though the caveat is you'd need a more powerful PSU. Without enabling RT, the RX 6800 and higher do offer great 1440P gaming experience (assuming rest of system is good enough), even higher refresh rate is quite doable.

You will be good to go, but I will say if you can;t get a 6800 XT near 600 or a 6900 XT below 700, go with the 4070, the caveat is lower VRAM.

[chickabumpbump]

6900XT are £1000 on scan ( nope )

If the 4070 was $400 I'd buy one as an upgrade from a 5700XT, and I've been using Radeon continuously for the past 10 years. Power efficiency is my obsession, and the performance that the 4070 offers at the power it draws is legendary imo.

The 4070 very much interests me for this low draw reason but there are reports sales at launch are not great. I hear nvidia may even consider a price cut already through cash rebates. There was recently a cash back scheme on certain AIB models of the RTX 4070 Ti in exchange for your old video card.

Happy to wait a while.

It's not a rumor if you follow economics and the market. Companies need to sell or face pathetic quarterly numbers.

Nvidia is already in trouble because it's massively overvalued; failure to move stock when AMD is won't send a good message to shareholders.

They are going to have to start moving product, esp. the 4000 line. If not, it's going to hurt their stock prices ...

The question is how long will they hold out?

A similar situation will happen with AMD on the CPU side. Ryzen 5000 has too much stock, Ryzen 7000 not really moving. Laptops not moving.

Either production will be cut or they will lower prices (or a combination).

[antoniobennett72]

When the 4060 (regardless of what they call it) is priced like a 60 or maybe a 60ti (if I'm feeling generous) instead of a 70ti then it will be much more interesting.

Consider the 6950 for similar money instead if you have to make a move.

Just hold off for now though. Many models of RTX 4070 are about to get a $50 or more price-drop.

Thats fair enough but for me its not really cost its making sure I havent wasted my money with a better option available.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Honestly, the 4070 is not worth even $500

Better off with Intel A770 or AMD 6800 XT

As long as your are not doing VR stuff; the A770 is pretty solid and the Drivers have come a long way in such a short time.

A770 LE and 6800 XT both come in right in between an RTX 3070 and 3080 for most games. And the 16GB VRAM really helps.

[Guydodge]

its a massive upgrade from a 2060 6GB card and for 1440 should serve you well.while
12gb+ games are out now thats only for ultra settings across the board and once dlss 3
is turned on your not going to have any problems and ray tracing is worth it IMO.dlss 3
is leaps and bounds better than 2.recently was able to see a AMD card run first hand
was not impressed.but if you want 16gb theres really no choice at your price point
other than AMD
