Worth going from a 3070 to a 5070?

It's not as if gamers haven't tried running DLSS/RT on their GPUs.

An awful lot of 4090 users preaching, don't get the realisation of not having a 4090 or anywhere near that level of performance...

I went from 3080 to 4090 and running RT with DLSS was always better than no RT and no DLSS

I would say no because of the vram constraint on the 5070.

It does depend on the resolution you game at of course (haven't read the op) but the minimum I'd buy is a 5070ti (for the 16GB vram) assuming you are looking to run AAA games with the highest IQ you can respectively expect.

The PS5 and Series X pack 16 gig of RAM, I know that a portion of each are allocated to the operating system, however PC gaming seems to demand more RAM than ever- well VRAM- either through lazy programming or greater overheads from all those shiny visuals for our gaming PC's.

I went from 3080 to XTX, running native was always better than no RT and no DLSS?




Keeping on topic, my 4070 hasn't ever been a great performer running RT/DLSS@1440p because of vram.

FG sometimes requires dropping playable settings for it to run within the 12Gb budget.

New Doom system specs, Ampere gpu's are competing with a lower tier AMD GPU.

When a company promotes 'Saving Vram' tech on ever increasing prices, it's obvious why.

NV have successfully priced GPUs within Vram tiers.

Everyone should be bright enough to judge for themselves why NV have been marketing that way for years.
