Question PowerColor 9070XT Red Devil or MSI Ventus 3X RTX 5080?

[Heat_Fan89]

I ordered both today on Amazon. I need a GPU that can consistently hit 64K 60FPS in Microsoft Flight Sim 2024. The Red Devil is the card I always wanted to have.

I got the RTX MSI Ventus at near MSRP $1398 and the Red Devil also close to MSRP $849

Looking at the reviews, I would stick with the 9070xt, as the performance is basically identical.

Thank you for the charts. My main concern with the 5080 is the potential fire issues with melting cables. However I just love the red light on the Red Devil.

Decisions, decisions. I finally settled on the ASUS TUF OC RTX 5080 $1458 from Amazon and today I placed an order for the Powercolor Hellhound 9070XT for $780. That's 50% price difference.

The insane part of me is kinda thinking about keeping both cards since cards from two years ago are selling for the exact same price if not more.

The ASUS RTX 5080 arrived today and I installed it in the NZXT H7 Flow 2024. The card is massive. The ASUS TUF looks pretty badass, love the look. Tomorrow the 1000W Corsair PSU arrives.

I took a couple of pictures of the build if you guys want to see it. I had trouble uploading the images from my PC.

You first said you ordered the Ventus and the Red Devil and now you say you ordered the Tuf and the Hellhound. How many of those cards did you buy?

By the way, MS Flight Simulator is extremely CPU bound, so I hope for you that you have a good one. Also a fast and stable internet connection and a fast NVMe drive.

And you can't upload images directly on this forum. You first need to upload them on a third party site like imgur and then post the link here.

Ordered, then cancelled numerous times. Waiting for price drops on GPU's. At first the Red Devil was around $900 then the price dropped and that's when I bit on the price.

I picked up a 9800X3D for $443 from Amazon as they were changing the price every 20 minutes. I was undecided on the GPU's and after ordering I had second thoughts based on reviews. I have a 30 day trial Prime membership that expires tomorrow. Currently on Amazon, if you think you want a GPU, snag it first before someone else gets it. I missed out a couple weeks ago on MSRP for both a reference 5080 and 5090.

So I settled on the ASUS TUF OC 5080. It's inside the case and connected, just waiting for the 1000W Corsair PSU to arrive today. No exaggeration, that is one MASSIVE card.
