3070 to 4070S?

[kayone]

I want a squeeze a little more performance out of my set up, kind of limited by my PSU (650W), but the 4070S does seem to have a low TDP.

I've read it's c30% improvement on performance? Any views?

Yes, many will tell a mere 30% is not worth the outlay. In graphical boost.

However, if you want a quiet GPU (RTX 4070S), that is built on a more modern node, that has more VRAM (12 gigs) that will in theory be better for 1440p. Then, this is a popular choice.

Playing devils advocate, why not consider an AMD 7800XT for £100.00 less with far more VRAM. Just check your PSU can cope with one.

Thanks for the reply will take a look.

Thanks for all the guidance..

Just sold my 3070ti FE and upgraded to a Zotac 4070S triple fan and it was a good upgrade for me. PC is quieter, less heat generated and 100watt less power useage when gaming.

Plus I think right now is the right time to sell the 3 series GPU while it can still get some decent money back, prices will start to come down closer to the release of the 5 series.

4070S is the sweet spot for 1440p gaming right now.

I have been away for a while, but appreciate the response. I am still pondering this but seems like a sensible upgrade.

Thanks.

same situation, but i rather go 7900xt for 150 extra over the 4070s, plus the extra vram will help in longevity. but worth waiting to see whats coming down the line, 3070 is fine for now. even the GRE is a better buy than the 4070s imo at 500 notes.

TDP is my limiting factor.

7900xt is 300w vs 4070s being 220w.

Possibly a contender.

I run a 13600K with a light undervolt and a 3060ti on a 500w psu since Novemeber/December and it's been fine as I only upgraded from a rx 6600 due to getting a cheep 1440p monitor and needed a little more power. I mostly play older games.

I wanted a 6700XT but I didnt want to push my luck as even though the power consumption was near the same as the 3060ti the 6700XT had power spikes to 327w though what made me get a 3060ti was I was able to get a used one for just under £200 while the 6700XT was around £250ish.

This was the most recent graphics card review of a 7900 GRE on April 12 and its Furmark that gives the high powerspikes overwise gaming goes alil over 300w.

Edit: Reading though the thread Humbug mentioned and you have a 7800X3D that gives you more power budget to play around with compared to a Intel i7/i9 K cpu so either card is an option.

It's a 5800X3D. The 7900GRE may be in either a shout though as an alternative.
