5080 Vs 5070ti
- Thread starter topher
- Start date
Given your reasoning for Gigabyte, I'd consider Zotac as they actually offer a 5 year UK based warranty (3 standard, + 2 if you register within a month or so of purchase).
I've used a few and they're spot on, often cheaper than the competition too but are no worse for it depending on the tier you buy into. Do be wary however as there's a number of iterations, Solid vs Core Solid at the entry level for example, with the "Core" sporting a lesser cooling solution.
A 5080 is 33% more money for 15% more performance, let’s face it if the 5070ti is struggling the 5080 will be also as both offer a similar gaming experience. The main bonus on the 5070ti is that is has the same 16gb VRAM buffer.
The 9070XT is worth a consideration too if your main games are CoD although at current prices I’d probably just go with a 5070ti assuming you can get one at or near MSRP.

My main aim is 3D Modeling and art work so COD i am not bothered about and AMD is no good for 3D work sadly. gaming is a secondary, atm i have 1440p monitor but want a 4k OLED at some point for the sake of my eye balls so a 5080 would be a better fit long term,
i also have a meshilous SFF case so a SFF cards at 315mm would be the best option, might be able to get longer card and use the a extender bracket i have 3d Printed of.
25% higher scores in steel nomad for 5070 ti vs 5080.
16% higher in speedway.
Tech power up 16 game average put it about 12% faster at 1440p 15% at 4k.
Depends if you want the extra performance or not.
25% extra cost for the cheapest 5070ti vs the cheapest 5080.

The 5070ti makes the 5080 a hard sell as your getting 90% of the performance for 75% of the price but most importantly your getting the same amount of VRAM.
It’ll also hold its resale value better.

9070XT if it ever hits msrp of £569 would be the optimal choice as you’re getting virtual parity with the 5070ti.

In another world, you'd have proper segmentation.
5060 12g
5060 Ti 16g
5070 16g
5070 Ti 18g
5080 20g
Obviously I've pulled these numbers out of my butt, but the point is almost all tiers should have more, and the amount should better match the power of the GPU. Instead, most cards get vram crippled to artificially upsell you all the way to the 5090.
100% i was hoping to get a 4080 Super but convinced myself to wait it was close to November, Nvidia couldn't possibly bring out a 5080 with 16gb i thought. Surely not, that would be unthinkable... and here we are.
Lesson learned, never trust team Hulk.

Literally had this "conundrum" with my system. Given I have a G-sync module monitor (not FreeSync with G-sync compatibility) and have no desire to switch that out at the moment, I was angling more towards Nvidia than AMD.
I wanted to play at both 1440p (with G-sync) and, occasionally, on the 4K TV thus was thinking of the 5070Ti/9070(XT) tier as a minimum*. Then came the decision 5070Ti or 5080 and honestly the extra £250 at current pricing makes the 5080 quite the hard sell. With the same amount of VRAM and a raw performance increase of 10-15% I couldn't justify the 5080 at all (one exception might have been the FE model as I am a bit of a sucker for the looks).
Ended up getting a Gigabyte WF 5070Ti at MSRP price and so far, so good. It's not in my system yet but it looks nice, has no RGB and had no plastic peel on it. The latter is not something I see mentioned but nothing annoys me more than pointless plastic packaging that doesn't need to exist.
*Done quite a bit of testing on the GeForce Now ultimate 4080 tier and the performance at "4K" on our TV has been perfectly acceptable. Anything faster would be so much more money than I am willing to pay (right now). Not to mention a 4090 and/or 5090 would likely require a newer and beefier PSU and that is even more cost.

He's already said it's mainly for 3D modelling so it cannot be AMD
dont buy any right now

NVIDIA Is Reportedly Preparing For RTX 50 SUPER Lineup; GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER 24 GB & 5070 SUPER 18 GB Surface Online
It seems that NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 lineup will also include the "SUPER" RTX 5080 & RTX 5070 variants, as new models have been spotted.

Super cards are normally a year after the initial batch, so these rumours are likely to drag on for some time before a release happens near to Christmas, maybe January.
yes but remember the 4070 vs 4070s it was a big old uplift at the same price
i wouldn't want to spend 1k on a gpu then see a same priced super gpu come out and kick its ass
8 months is a long time to wait. May as well just wait another 12 after that for the 60 series.
If you wait for the next release you'll always be waiting

if i am spending over a grand on a card, i'd rather wait 7 months rather than buying now then regretting it later. beside Nvidia drivers, support and card issue have been awful since launch. not to mention supply.
Super cards are interesting, especially for the 5080 which is already using the max SP the die can muster.
Are we going to see just a memory bump using the new chips or a full blown core increase as well - meaning the 5080 would have to move up to the larger die?
Memory bump with no price move would be fine but with a price increase as well.... no.

presumably they're leaking info about supers to make people hold off buying 9070s
