2080TI FE to 4070 super??

Just resurrecting as looking for thoughts on swapping from my 2080ti FE to a 4070 Super? Since i originally posed this question about moving to a 4070 ive also changed from 1080p to 1440p

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
 
just upgraded from a 3070ti to a 4070 super and yes its better in the games i play at 1440p and a lot smoother...didnt want to pay the price of the 4070ti super

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.
 
2080ti approx 3070
4070 approx a 3080

so you're in effect going from a 3070 to a 3080 in rasterisation performance
obvs you'd gain more from ray tracing

but is this move worth it? personally, no
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.

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:
