May we ask what resolution and Hz you are gaming at?

I would like 1440 or 4k if possible. I'm using my 75 inch samsung tv in the livingroom instead of a monitor

Honestly, you likely wouldn't notice the difference between them.

I'd say the price increase of the first one is justified based on the retail price of the changed parts.

Thanks for that. I've just been reading reviews of the 4080 super and the new 5070ti, they seem really close, just undecided which one to go for. The first option has the 98003DX, 64gb of ram and 4TB which I think would be a bonus for future gaming, I think of this setup, just need to decide the gpu?

If you want the higher storage and more RAM then I'd just buy it. I'd say the difference between the GPUs is near enough to be irrelevant.

What do think of the gpu's?

They're almost identical in performance, the 5070ti might see future driver improvements etc, it also has multi frame gen, which you might or might not care about. Gamers Nexus has a breakdown of the tech on YouTube, I'd advise watching it.

Are you asking about the difference between them or about them generally?

Generally: they're really expensive, but I guess you know that already. If you want a decent nvidia graphics card for 4K gaming then you don't really have much choice.

Just asking if anyone had any preference,.one over the other. They seem almost identical but online people saying the 4080 slightly better but the 5070 is the new model, with dlss4 etc. Any thoughts ?
