You and me in 2028: "Just wait until next year."
Quite possible
It comes down to what people need. And I know that sounds odd to say about a product no one actually needs, but still. Do I want to buy a new card so I can play Phantom Liberty straight up with my cock out? Yes, yes I do. Do I also have, literally, tens of thousands of hours of games sitting in my backlog that I can play, right now with my 3080, cock out? Yes, yes I do.
And not just random indy shite. I have full blown AAA titles just sitting there waiting to be played, all of which will perform great on the hardware I have.
But that’s on a 3080. If someone has been sitting on a 2070 Super for over half a decade and they are finding they just aren’t enjoying the experience anymore, who cares what the generational uplift is? Whatever card you buy will uplift the shite out of your current gaming experience, and that’s really all that matters.
Just don’t spend $1k on a 5070ti

That's where I am. Sitting on an i5 9600k and RTX 2070. Mostly play Destiny 2 on 1080p. If the 9070 XT looks good and priced right, I'll pull the trigger on it and a 9800x3d and upgrade to1440p.

Obviously waiting on benchmarks but the 9070XT is firmly on my radar

Now that the big rush is over, I’ll start posting about GPU info on here instead of the dedicated thread. Anywho, this is what I posted a few days ago:
$600 9700xt, $550 9700.
I think the 9700 is DOA, but the 9700xt is mildly interesting if: it actually has the claimed rasterization parity with the 5070ti and you mostly play competitive games below 4k/without RT/etc OR if AMD has made actual strides with RT and/or upscaling. We’ll see when reviews come out, but it’s at least not terrible news.

5070 reviews are predictably brutal, and a lot of hints to "just wait until tomorrow" for the AMD reviews. A lot of optimism that the 9070XT could be best buy of this gen.

Yup. Still don’t know that it’s going to be a good buy, but potentially the best, at least within the constraints of the caveats I gave above. Because of AMD’s current shortfalls with upscaling and RT, it doesn’t have enough raw power to tempt me due to my gaming preferences, but for someone who games like you, I think it’s potentially very viable. We’ll see tomorrow.

Yep, if I can max out this 1440/360hz OLED on my FPS games and play the occasional Elden Ring or Sekiro type stuff comfortably on my 4k/144, I'm perfectly happy.

I don’t think you’ll actually be able to do that, but you’ll be closer than your 3080 can currently get you
Posted on 3/4/25 at 12:19 pm to Joshjrn
I can get upwards of 280 with the 3080 with settings toned down a bit, I bet the 9070XT can carry me home
Posted on 3/4/25 at 12:23 pm to bamabenny
Still don’t think you’ll quite get there, but I admit that I forgot you play at potato settings

Just bought my first gaming laptop ever. I’m excited to get into PC gaming, mainly for mods of classics I never got a chance to play, such as Mass Effect and the New Vegas DLCs. Should this laptop last me a while with these specs?
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU 8 GB GDDR6
AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS
16GB Memory 1 TB PCIe SSD
15.6" 1920 x 1080 IPS-Level 144Hz 45% NTSC
14.13" x 9.99" x 0.85" 4.10 lbs.
1 x HDMI 2.1 (8K@60Hz/4K@120Hz)
1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C w/ DP1.4 3 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
With the $200 MSI rebate, it cost me about $730.

If you’re primarily looking to work through your backlog, it will basically last forever. And while I don’t keep up with the laptop versions of GPUs, I have to think you should be able to comfortably play a ton of modern titles at 1080p as long as aren’t trying to push into RT.
You’ve got thousands of hours of fun ahead of you, mate. Enjoy

Thanks! Now begins the research on the best mods for each game for the best experience. It’s a bit overwhelming lol
Posted on 3/4/25 at 1:47 pm to bamabenny
I really don't know why Nvidia even released those cards if the gen over gen performance gains were going to be so incredibly bad. Just embarrassing.

I recently posted my old ME:LE mod list, if that would help as a jumping off point for that game. Just scroll down: LINK /

Money
But everything outside of the 5090 has retained their same, or even decreased, in MSRP.
Obviously the MSRP prices are a joke due to the severe supply and scalping issues, but theoretically this gen wouldn’t have been so bad if their was availability and Nvidia marketed it as more a refresh with enhanced software options. Like a 40 series + since they already refreshed with the supers already

Steve called it the 40 Series V3, perfect.

Yup. And unfortunately, it looks like AMD is doing roughly the same thing. Unless there are some massive RT numbers that come out tomorrow, it looks like the 9070xt is basically a 7090xt with a, what, $50 drop in MSRP? Though hopefully AMD has some surprises up their sleeve on that.
But if not, everything outside of the 5090 is basically just a rebrand of a last gen card with a bit of price shuffling.

The 9070XT is going to have 5070ti performance with RT performance of a 4070S and an upgraded upscaler for $600.... Also will represent the cheapest options for 16GB of VRAM, at least until the shitty 5060 series cards drop (I am not counting the A770
)
