I'm interested in the 4070 ti, but unsure it's worth upgrading from 6800xt. Also I worry about vram. I game at 3440 x 1440. Just upgraded the the UW monitor that's part of reason I'm looking for an upgrade. Also I just find fsr looks pretty meh and my gpu struggles to do native now in UW.
Wait until the 4070 Ti Super, rumours say it'll have 16GB vs 12 on the 4070 Ti, if that's true it might be worth it, depends on the price completely tho.
4070 ti retails for 1100 already in my country. 7900 xtx for 1300. So as long as it's not too much more I guess.
In that case if you have the extra dough you could maybe go for a 7900 XTX? It blows the 4070 Ti out of the water and trades blows with the 4080, it's also got a nice bump in specs but it will be lacking in things like Blender.
Rumors are that the 4070ti Super will have 16GB, no? Depending on pricing, that might be a good fit.
I would wait at least one more generation unless you can offload the 6800xt at a good price. Also make sure dlss actually solves your issue and doesn't bother you. Don't fall victim to fomo and upgradeitis, just because something is better doesn't mean it's good enough and worth the money.
Fair enough I mean it works fine rn. Just need to use lower settings.
I imagine I could get maybe 300 usd max for it. New gpu like 7900 xtx would be 900 usd
You definitely should not upgrade until the 40-series supers hit. They are rumored to start around January. If the rumors are true the 4070 Ti Super will have 16 GB of VRAM, a healthy performance boost, and pretty much make the 4080 irrelevant. And if you are happy with just a 4070 Ti the supers will force the prices down.
4070ti super coming out soon they say. 16GB.
With that, I'd wait for RDNA4.
7800xt isn't much of an upgrade, nor is 4070ti.
agreed. the 6800xt is a baller of a card, imo.
7800xt is about the same (except a little better on RT and has av1 encoder). Some games, it's actually a little worse.
4070ti is better in RT, but similar (if not a downgrade) in raster. Not an upgrade either.
Traditionally, one generation is not worth it, unless you're going from low-mid end to high end. which is costly. Still applies today apparently.
I tend to HODL and only upgrade every 4-5 gens. Vega64 -> RDNA4 is my current plan.
Are you saying 6800xt is the same in raster as 4070ti or did you mean 4070?
Oh, point.
But, of course, at 4070ti prices, I'd look at 7900xt.
if you're the sort that upgrades every generation then vram shouldn't be a huge concern.
What is your current CPU mate ? I'd suspect it might have an impact
