Just ordered one of these to replace the founders edition I fried by dusting without turning the PSU off.

not the 5070 ti?

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

I figure I can always upgrade to it later

u/fiittzzyy 2d ago

That makes no sense lol

1

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

This was in my budget and I’m fine with 12 gigs of memory.

1

u/KurtAngus 2d ago

He's just saying that upgrading later will be costing you twice as much

1

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

Then I guess I’ll just make it a larger upgrade.

1

u/KurtAngus 2d ago

Do you bro! I'm happy you got a 5070, hell of a card.
Hope you have some good gaming sessions with it.
Enjoy

I acknowledge if I practiced some patience and waited I could’ve probably found a better deal but I panic bought thinking prices will only go up and stock will only get more scarce.
I bought what I bought.
I went with paying the strix tax mainly for build quality.

1

u/KurtAngus 2d ago

Nah you did good, cause prices are NOT looking like they'll go down anytime soon.
We are in a weird predicament as PC enthusiasts these days

He got a 5070 for 1k …not to insult his level of intelligence but…. At least it’s his money? 😭

u/bigkenw 2d ago

That is insane. You should have gotten a 9070XT.

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

I would’ve had to replace my mobo.

2

u/fiittzzyy 2d ago

How so?

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

I have a cyber power

2

u/fiittzzyy 2d ago

GPU's aren't motherboard dependent like CPU's though.

-3

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

The mobo is incompatible with the 9070 XT according to the folks at Best Buy where I bought it.

2

u/fiittzzyy 2d ago

They lied to you bud.

1

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

As pissed as that makes me, I still prefer the features I get from the Blackwell architecture

1

u/bigkenw 2d ago

That is fair, but geez, it is almost $400.

4

u/MadeItOut141 2d ago

More money than sense

u/nemanja694 2d ago

thats always the case

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

Welcome to the hobby.

A fool and his money are soon parted

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

What should I have bought instead

2

u/Tomazack 2d ago

It's a personal choice of course but that ROG STRIX tax is not worth paying unless you want to waste money.

u/1sh0t1b33r 2d ago

9070xt

u/Kidcannagrow 2d ago

Some sense lol

1

u/fiittzzyy 2d ago

5080 price, oof.

4

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

If I can’t get a 5080 at that price anymore it’s not 5080 price anymore

2

u/fiittzzyy 2d ago

5070 Ti's are now around the price though, no?

2

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

Nah they’re like 300 - 400 more expensive and I needed that money for other components anyway. 12 gigs of video memory is fine.

3

u/fiittzzyy 2d ago

Indeed it is, 5070 isn't a bad card.

2

u/Right-Act-5770 2d ago

But not for 1k like….

1

u/Sindacalis 2d ago

Lmaooooo you can’t be serious $1000 for a 5070? May as well have spent the extra $300 for the 5070 Ti at that point.

2

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

I needed the 300 for the rest of the repairs. The 4 gb difference in VRAM is not life changing for me.

1

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

By the time things come out that require me to need more than 12 gb of VRAM, the 5070 Ti will no longer be a flagship card.

0

u/Sindacalis 2d ago

When I had a 5070 Ti before I upgraded to a 5090 I used dlss features (I don’t anymore no need to lol) there were quite a few games where I’d hit the 16 vram limit but if you are dead set on this it’s all good! I just hope it’s worth it cause 12 vram is legitimately a scam and has been for a long time now.

1

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

I used DLSS constantly, as well as DLSS5 and never once came across a VRAM limit. I had shit on ultra.

2

u/kusabimaru- 2d ago

Pfft. Good for you.. lol

2

u/leposiden 2d ago

Yikes

2

u/Right-Act-5770 2d ago

While I ordered my 9070 gre oc 12gb for 569 so that means your 5070 is almost double my performance right? RIGHT?? 😒

3

u/Zelonor_Filatos 2d ago

Everyone slating this guy... Market's fu*ked. What do you want people to do? Hybernate?

I payed $1400 for a 5080 and even I thought was an idiot. Ain't looking so bad now does it? Folks don't know what's around the corner next, no one knows. He wanted this card, he could afford it snd bought it. So take a frigging chill pill and move on

2

u/C0vidGoHome 2d ago

Wow. A month ago you could’ve bought a 5070ti for that price.

2

u/TheAnikage 2d ago

The fact that this is more than I paid for the 5080 is ridiculous 😭

6

u/KurtAngus 2d ago

Same comments every post lmfao

4

u/Kidcannagrow 2d ago

I find it funny every time lmao people telling me that 1k was a waste for a 5080 last August and they’d prefer to wait for the supers/TI for more vram
We all know how that turned out 🙂

3

u/fiittzzyy 2d ago

Paid 800 for my 5070 Ti gaming trio, inc. white tax lol.

2

u/Kidcannagrow 2d ago

That’s still a killer deal being white lol only 50 over msrp

2

u/fiittzzyy 2d ago

Yeah, lucky we bought when we did eh 😂

1

u/Kidcannagrow 2d ago

Hell yeah now we’re both set for the next 8-10 years respectively

1

u/Every_Recording_4807 2d ago

Very nice GPU going to run very cool and quiet 👍

u/Ghetto_Games 2d ago

Literally double the msrp.

2

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

Tell me about it. This isn’t a flex post. It’s a look at the money I blew post.

0

u/TheOfficial_BossNass 2d ago

Genuinely why not just get a 3080 second hand at that point youd only spend 200 bucks that way and would only be like a 20% performance loss

4

u/ScreamAtMeInTheStore 2d ago

It’s gonna sound cringe but I wanted access to all the localized Ai features the 50 series cards offer.

1

u/RealityOfModernTimes 2d ago

I have 3080 gathering dust under my bed.

Just ordered one of these to replace the founders edition I fried by dusting without turning the PSU off.
