4070 TUF has arrived. All-metal, built like a tank, one 8-pin, 56C under full load, dead silent.
Pretty happy considering I paid under 7800XT retail for a sealed one and less than worse 4070s go for.
Looks like a solid stopgap till 5xxx or used 4080/4090, even though it'd be great if it went under it's real name 4060Ti and cost a bit less. It runs everything smoothly though, with solid settings at ultrawide res and satsfies my silence/efficiency OCD while doing it
Would be nice to have an UW oled to pair with it since I really got used to the C2 but I have to say games look pretty good on the S3422DWG and there's surprisingly little smearing (until I turn, uhm, "HDR" on it, then you can clearly smearing when scrolling white text on dark backgrounds, it does add some pop to the colours in games due to decent peak brightness and contrast but it's hardly HDR ). Should've gone all out since it turns out I didn't even need to get used to 34" ultrawide, it feels completely normal
Anyways, 5000 series please be priced reasonably (yeah
)
