I’m about to upgrade my GPU
Price/performance is very important to me, but I’ve never really gone super deep into GPU themes
Right now I’m using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB and I’m looking to upgrade.
I’ve managed to save up some money, and my goal is that whatever I buy now, I won’t have to touch my GPU for the next ~5 years.
I play in 1440p with a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X.
I’m currently choosing between:
- ASUS Radeon RX 9070 XT PRIME OC 16GB – 750.68 EUR
- Palit GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GamingPro-S OC 16GB – 958.90 EUR
I’ve read about frame generation, future-proofing, raw performance, DLSS vs FSR, all that stuff… but honestly I’m a bit lost in the details lol
Can someone explain in simple terms which one makes more sense for me, given that:
- I don’t use ray tracing (don’t really care about it)
- For upscaling/frame gen I’ve only used DLSS so far, never tried FSR
- I don’t play competitively (maybe ~10 League of Legends games every 6 months with friends)
- I mostly play AAA single-player games (like Crimson Desert)
- 1440p, 144Hz monitor
- I play around 1-2 hours a day
I know the 3080 is still perfectly fine, but I’d like to treat myself a bit — I work, I save money, and I even quit smoking, so this would be a small reward for me
Please don’t roast me, not everyone is a PC expert 🙃
