I'm looking at buying my first gaming pc, seen a couple of setups, the ryzen 7 7800X3D with either the rtx 4070ti super or the 4080 super for the difference of £200. But I know the 5000 series is out, not sure what to do. Any help please?
 
All depends on price list pc spec please and price but remember no competitor naming or links.

Without knowing the prices it is hard to say, but availability for all these cards is currently very poor, so you may be buying what you can get rather than what you want.

What are the requirements? You're gaming, I assume? What resolution? What games? Are you using ray tracing?
 
Hi there, the spec is

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
  • Graphics: Nvidia RTX 4070Ti Super
  • RAM: 32GB DDR5
  • Storage: 2TB SSD
The same spec for the xtr 4080. I know they're a bit expensive but I want a prebuild with good warranty. It's 1900 for the xtr4070 and 2100 for the 4080. I'm looking for 4k for playing cod, bodycam, delta force etc. Future proof as possible. But I'm reading about this 5070??

I'd be aiming at 1440p. 4K gaming? Push GPU much harder, lower framerate, needing to upgrade again much sooner. And for UE games, be pretty bad.

Depends on your budget whether you want AMD or Nvidia. Before you buy a monitor though compare some games on two cards of similar price ie 7800XT and 4070 and see how they fair at 1440p and 4k in the games, especially Unreal 5 games.

Some games play fine on old hardware ie Doom, but if you want epic settings on 4K stalker, robocop, Silent Hill 2, Alan Wake, 150+ fps- forget it.
