Nah. Get the 6800XT instead and slot in a 5700X3D

Sure, 100W or more power draw for the GPU, for an inferior feature set, and save $50 upfront to get a faster CPU. Except, that 100W at four hours per day gaming on average would add up to around $25 per year (using the US average rate of 17 cents per kWh).

It's a different idea but not clearly better is my take. Might be why 2.5% of gamers have an RTX 4070, compared to 0.3% with an RX 6800 XT, even though AMD's card has been around over twice as long. 🤔

6800XT>4070

99,9% games are raster, what features are we talking about here exactly? Ray gimmick? Not a feature but 6800XT does it too. Fake frames? Yep does it too if you want lag. Resolution scaling for not that sharp graphs? Yep!!! The only feature 4070 has over 6800XT is really power draw but nobody cares sorry, some extra cents in the end of the day won't lose against having a 60 series named 70 and charged 80
