hi,

trying to decide whats better value - i can get a 3070 for £544, a ti for 649 or a radeon 6800 xt for 600. I am aware that the 6800xt outperforms the ti in most games or equal, but I am concerned about the quality of thier recording software with amd and if fsr 2.0 is good enough to replace DLSS? I am only gaming at 1080p but have a high refresh 165hz monitor and would like to not have to upgrade for atleast 2 3 years, and increase fps in squad - a game i frequent. Only issue being is that i have 650w psu and the upgrade to a thermaltake gf750 would be about 80 quid - is that worth it? or is it worth going for the nvidia gpus which would work on my current psu?

thanks
 
Solution
At 1080p, any 3070, RX 6800xt or anything above those is already FAR more than you need to do 165fps easily, so long as you have a capable enough CPU. So, pick whichever you want. FSR seems to work fine for thousands and thousands of people but if you prefer DLSS then go that way. Honestly, I don't think it makes a lot of difference aside from personal preference. I think Nvidia tends to be a bit better in terms of drivers but AMD has gotten much better than they used to be.

You will definitely need a higher capacity PSU, and it should be something decent. A cheap PSU buys you only grief.

I'd say a 6800 xt with a good PSU would be the better option over a 3070.
