2080TI FE to 4070 super??
- Thread starter Zenduri
- Start date
12gb is borderline in some games at 1440p now, either go 4070 ti super or wait for next gen.

i was kinda thinking that re VRAM, i guess if i wait for next gen then it give me more time to save money for Nvidia's rapey prices. Still never paid more than £200 for a card lol
Thats why I would rather consider the AMD 7800XT, which is £479.99 right now and has wait for it...16 gig of VRAM.
The cheapest RTX 4070 Super costs £578.99. Is it worth an extra £100.00 for slightly more ray tracing and DLSS?

I've been toying with the same idea. I'm rocking an old 2080ti and have got the itch. It still runs things well though so I'm wondering if to wait until the next gen.
If its still holding up then best to hang on, we'll probably be getting around 4080 performance and 16gb VRAM for £600 in a year.
Damn you and your sensible reasoning!
4070 super remember, so it's about another 10-15% faster than a 4070.
I still wouldn't bother, but you know.
Edit: missed the thread resurrection.

yes indeed
and the OP's question changed from a 4070 to a 4070S along with the res:

Hence the edit to let you know I'd realised.Caught me off guard!

I disliked the original RTX 4070, because of it's unimpressive performance.
On the other hand, the RTX 4070 Super has much improved performance... You can get an additional 6% (approx.) performance improvement according to Techpowerup, from overclocking (on the Founders Edition).
The TDP is actually a bit lower than the RTX 2080 TI, which seems quite power efficient.
I think that frame generation in games is going to become increasingly useful, especially since modern cards are supported by FSR3 as well.
But, it's too expensive unfortunately, especially considering that this generation is an iterative improvement over the Ampere series.
If you can get one for £400-£450 used, that would be a reasonable price for this kind of performance.
Maybe in 6 months?

Knock £100 and call it the 4060ti it really is would have been a nice little upgrade for people on the 3060ti...
Another thing about the RTX 4070 S is that it looks like you can get away with a pretty low end power supply, with the GPU spiking at 239w for short periods:
Just compare that to the RX 6900 XT. Oof. The power spikes certainly did improve a lot with RDNA3.
The 4070 S is more power efficient than the original 4070, as well:
