Hello everyone! I am making the switch from a GTX 1650 to an RX 9070 XT.

​I am looking for the absolute quietest card possible because noise is a big factor for me. I am not knowledgeable about overclocking or changing fan curves, so I just want something that runs cool and silent straight out of the box.

​I have narrowed it down to these four options:

-​Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 XT Pulse

-​PowerColor Radeon RX 9070 XT Hellhound

-​PowerColor Radeon RX 9070 XT Reaper

-​XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT Quicksilver Gaming Edition

​Which one of these is the best option? If you have any other specific models to suggest, feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone. I am going for a complete renovation of my PC and I would ideally like to make a build that will last me a minimum of 5 years.

​My Use Case:

​Gaming: I play a bit of everything, from competitive FPS games to heavy AAA titles. I want to fully utilize my 1440p 144Hz monitor, which my current setup cannot do.

​Uni Work: Programming and AutoCAD for engineering.

​Current Setup:

​CPU: Ryzen 7 5700G

​GPU: GTX 1650

​RAM: 24GB DDR4

​The Dilemma:

I am trying to decide between Nvidia and AMD for the new GPU. Specifically, between the RTX 5070 Ti (€980) and the RX 9070 XT (€680).

​I would rather not move to AM5 right now due to the current RAM and SSD situation. Instead, I am planning to upgrade my CPU to either a 5700X3D or a 5800X3D on my current AM4 platform.

​My Questions:

​Will a 5700X3D or 5800X3D bottleneck either of these GPUs at 1440p?

​Which GPU is the better option for my situation, considering the €300 price difference? Is the 5070 Ti worth the premium?

​Thanks in advance!
