Using 8700k, 32gb DDR4 ram, GTX970. Should I upgrade to RTX 2070 SUPER or RX 5700 XT?
Hey folks.
I tend to upgrade my gig once every 3~4 year, which means I will purchase a GPU and sit on it for a long time. 970 has been very economic so far yet I am finding more and more games not running well at high settings(currently playing Three Kingdoms Total War) so I'm thinking of upgrading my GPU.
I guess it's obvious GTX 970 is the bottleneck here. Would I need to consider upgrading my CPU or Ram when I change my GPU to either of those two? I don't OC because of the fan noise. Would I benefit substantially from upgrading my CPU? I mostly play at 1080p but I have 4k TV too that I'm willing to play games on if I can get over 60 fps on max settings.
I'm using z370 extreme 4 motherboard. Is this compatible with the new GPUs I'm upgrading to?
Which one of these two would you recommend, considering the price, performance and longevity?
Also, could you recommend me a brand from each model with the quietest noise level? When I bought GTX 970 I couldn't find any information about the noise and I had to go to some German website (which I don't speak) to learn that MSI double fan model boasts the quietest 970, and it was still quite loud. The noise level is very important to me.
Thank you.
