And if my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle.
And the rops issue
Same reason the ASUS 9070 cards were the only ones in stock at one point. Way overpriced, even for ASUS.
And the melting connector issue
And the black screen driver issue.
Can't get a 4070ti now can we?
The 5070 Ti doesn't use enough power to have a melting connector issue, there's easily enough margin of safety below 300w.
Check PCPartPickerUK's price history on the 4070ti Super for the last year.
You can't buy a 5070 Ti for £700, or even close at this moment in time. Currently OCUK have the cheapest 5070 TI available for £890 (Link). Any game that supports DLSS 2/3 or XeSS can be used with FSR4 with a simple mod (Link), same as it's always been for upscaling methods not officially supported. The cost of running a GPU is insignificant, there is around 10w difference in power consumption if you compare like for like models when running at full power. So even if you used both cards at max power for 20 hours a week (Which i don't have time for), that's a total of 10KWh over a year. 25p a unit, works out at a huge £2.50 for the year. When both cards are locked to 60fps the AMD is actually significantly more efficient, 80w compared to 110w (Link). Again though i wouldn't base my purchase on power usage, I'm not sure why people bring power up when it's such an insignificant amount in the whole scheme of things.
For me DLSS/FSR needs to be supported in the game, I wouldn't be willing to use some dodgy third party solution with possible bugs/glitches and which you need to inject and risk game bans if you accidentally use it in an online game. The 5070 Ti is a substantially more efficient card overall, especially when using DLSS 2/3 in older games. The 60fps lock is an unrealistic scenario but in that case a 4070 Ti Super would've been a better option.
I agree, there is a lot of chat about optiscaler or whatever it's called but I would be hesitant to have it on the machine as we know how cheat detectors love picking up injecting software.
Yes - but where are you going to get a 5070ti for £750?
Quoting myself here, I really missed adrenaline when I moved over to Nvidia. Both have pros and cons. Personally, I prefer pure raster for the games I'm playing currently so either would likely work for me.
It most certainly is overpriced just now. Utter bonkers prices!
You're not comparing the Nitro+ which is what the conversation is about.8.6-11.1% faster in raster over the 4070ti Super but actually slightly slower in RT
XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT Mercury OC Magnetic Air Review
The XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT Mercury OC comes with a unique capability. Its fans are attached magnetically and will pop out easily, which makes them easy to clean and replace. In terms of performance the XFX card does very well, too, beating the RTX 5070, almost matching the RTX 5070 Ti.www.techpowerup.com

if you think a ~10% uplift in raster and small regression in RT for the same price point (or worse!) for a new generation card is good value then....well.
The 4070Ti Super was regularly available for ~£700, and sometimes less through last year.
I honestly think people are massively kidding themselves if they think the 9070 XT is good value for £700..
You keep going on about card pices for last year, many people wouldn't have been in the market for a new card then but are now.
