Hey all,
So I'm putting together a ryzen 9 3900x build, and am trying to decide between the EVGA hybrid cooled 2070S or a Radeon 5700XT for a wokstation (with occasional gaming).
My main programs used are Adobe XD, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Aftereffects, with limited use of Blender as well as some heavy compiling. The reason I was looking at the hybrid cooled rtx 2070s is because quiet operation is pretty important to me in this build.
I saw some benchmarks where the 5700xt kept up with the 2080 in some productivity programs, and considering it's lower price, it has a strong appeal. I was thinking that if I went with the 5700xt, I could eventually upgrade whenever AMD releases their ray tracing cards; however I am a little disappointed there isn't currently a hybrid cooled model of the 5700xt available, since I've heard it runs pretty hot and loud. On the other hand with the 2070s I might not upgrade for a bit.
One more thing- I plan on getting a 1440P 144 hz monitor for this build.
Thanks!
