Question New gpu

[Icecole25]

I currently have a 3070, it’s not the greatest one out there so I’m thinking to upgrade to a 3080ti. Do you think I would see a difference or should I look into any of the new amd card?

Need to know full system specifications along with power supply and what monitor resolution you use etc.

Msi b 550 a pro, 3700x,sea sonic focus gx 1000w gold, asus geforce rtx 3070 dual oc 8gb, 32gb of 4000mhz ram, and my monitor is 240hz 1440p.

240hz 1440p Yes I would say if you can sell the RTX 3070 a 3080ti is worth the upgrade.

Look for a 3080 12GB, almost as powerful as a 3080Ti and usually a lot cheaper.

You might just hold out for the RTX4080/4070 though.

The 3080ti is a terrible value. Either go for a 3080 12gb, as mentioned above, or an RX 6900xt.

Might and might not.
Turn your in game settings to low on a few games you play and see how many FPS you gain.
You will just get so many FPS from the 3700X depending on the game.

Not too bad right now actually.

Cheapest 3080Ti is $880, cheapest 3080 12GB is $770 (Actually the cheapest 3080 at the moment)

But generally it is about $150 more for the 3080Ti right now.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 12GB Review

For Nvidia, the 12GB RTX 3080 allows to significantly boost profit margins on silicon that would have otherwise sold as the original 10 GB model, enabling board...

Yea with the 240hz aspect of this, you might be better off with a CPU upgrade first.

Yea $110 for like 4fps on average more performance, is simply not worth it. I have seen 6900xt, as low as $730, recently. If Ray tracing isn't a concern, it might be worth considering, as well.

I actually found a gigabyte Radeon 6900xt, 2285 mhz boost clock 5120 stream processors 16000mhz memory clock 16gb memory size gddr6 card for 729.99 on Newegg thinking about going with that. Would that be a decent jump from the 3070?

 

[logainofhades]

I would have to say yes it would be. With your 3700x your mileage may vary.

32gb of 4000mhz ram

Do you really run it with 4000 Mhz?

For best performance fclk should have have the ram-speed to run in synchronouse mode. That means, for 4000 Mhz fclk should be 2000 Mhz, and sorry, but I do not beleive that.

For 3xxx-series the official limit is 3200, on most motherboards 3600 is possible ( depending on 2 or 4 ram sticks), very few can reach 3800 with flck synchron with half the ram-speed.

It will be better to lower ram-speed to 3600 and use flck of 1800 and optimize the subtimings.

 

[logainofhades]

Yea typically the highest IF clock I have seen is like 1900mhz. If running at 4000mhz, you are definitely hurting your performance. 3600 CL16 should be easily achievable, with your ram it.

So I went with the Radeon 6900xt but I just realized the power connection for it has 3, 8 pin connectors but my wire only has 2. What do I have to do order a new cable?
