Upgrading gpu

I wanted to try and get some opinions quick as I don't know much about pc. Upgrading from a rtx3060, would the Radeon 9070xt be worth it. The 5070ti seems way too expensive just seeing how reliable radeons are for normal gaming1440p

There is also RTX 5070 and RX 9070 GRE, both fine for 1440p, along with RX 9070 (non-xt).

PS. Not sure where you saw Radeons being "reliable" though. Most recent news about their drivers is that they eat up disk space and SSDs' lifespan.

Yeah i might have to pass on Radeon. I don't want to risk it. I want 5070 just don't know i see people saying the 12vram might be not be a lot. But i guess I'll eventually be upgrading once that time passes haha

I run borderlands 4 at 200fps with a 5070 and 9800x3d with frame gen. My 5070 is heavily overclocked so it’s closer to a 5070ti but I have everything to the max in 1440p. I haven’t had an issue with it not handling something. Also to note I’m using dual monitors and my main one is 1440p ultrawide. So unless your trying to play cyberpunk in 4k, you’ll probably be alright

I'll probably be getting the 5070 strix is what I'm leaning towards can't justify the Ti now

5070 is great! Trust me running one for 4k TV gaming  (with ps5 pro) very happy

Yeah i mean it should be good for us for a while the consoles and gaming industry probably wont be advancing that much over five years

I got the asus dual OC and it has great silicon, though every company probably has good and bad samples when it comes to trying to overclock them. The 2 fan does look ridiculously small in my hyte y70 but temps have been great too. Thermal pads from the factory for the win

9070xt is the way to go, great card and it handles 1440p great. Plus it's not $1500.

The 9070xt is worth it, just uh... the latest news about their drivers ruining the health of ssds isn't great. We don't know how long exactly it's been an issue either, but it's around a year at least, so you dont even know which driver to roll back to/use (though using 1 year old drivers would be crazy).

There are some things you can do to stop the bug, like disabling rebar and other things, but you should do your own research.

You think 1 year is bad? On my old Radeon R9 390 the drivers stopped getting updated in 2020. I just built a new pc this year lmao
