Question What gpu should i get

[Oskeii]

I am looking for a GPU to partner my Ryzen 7 5700x
For a cost around 750usd. I was planning on buying the RTX 4070 for my r7 5700x. i did some research on it and it says that it will bottleneck it. Any other suggestions for a gpu that cost around 750usd and with minimal bottleneck. For 1440p gaming.

This is my pc specs im planning to build
Cpu:ryzen 7 5700x
Gpu: ?
Ram: 32gb ddr4 3600mhz
Mobo: b550 gaming gen 3
Ssd: kingston 1tb
Cooler:thermalalright assassin king 120
Psu:

Are you willing to buy used? What PSU do you have or are you planning to get? Exact model, not just wattage.

Where are you located/planning to buy from?

 

[Order 66]

full system specs including age and model of PSU? The 7900xt has 20GB of VRAM and will be good for 1440p.

 

[kira-faye]

7900XT would be the most obvious suggestion, but if you can stretch a little you may be able to get a 7900XTX for around $800 after rebates with Black Friday coming up.

(I got the Sapphire Pulse 7900XTX for like $820, but that was after getting $90 back because Amazon never sent me the Starfield Premium code - far from guaranteed)

Ok, thanks for clarifying. You may need a better PSU considering the minimum PSU for the 7900xt is 750w. Anything more powerful needs a new PSU.

7900xt is way out of my budget. Im looking for something the same price as the 4070

I would go for a 7800xt then, it is $100 under your budget and is good for 1440p.

Forget you heard about bottleneck. It's long since become a buzzword.

PSU Tier List will help you to choose the best PSU out of hundreds of models on the market. From budget to the highest end Power Supplies.

This is apparently a Tier C psu, and psus age with use over time.

So that just ate into your ~$750 budget by at least $100 bucks.

Not necessarily, There is a super flower legion GX pro 750W for $75. That is a 25% difference.

Does that mean i have to change my psu?

If i forgot about the bottleneck. Which one would be the best for my cpu. 4070 or 7800x

If it's available, not being sold by some 3rd party seller, and not offering a discount under one of those darn mail-in rebates.

Does that mean i have to change my psu?

No, you can choose not to, but if you experience crashes or power offs, the psu would be the first place to look...

what do you mean by 3rd party seller? what is so bad about mail-in rebates?

 

[Oskeii]

7800xt is 650euro and 4070 is at 702euro, my budget is 750€.

Hang on, your original post said 750 usd. Big difference.

700euro to usd is around 750. By what i meant 750 euro, i meant 700euro . Sorry for the mistake

 

[Phaaze88]

what do you mean by 3rd party seller?

For example, you buy from Amazon or Newegg, you see that 'sold and shipped by'?
You can have items sold and shipped by A/N, sold by a 3rd party and shipped by A/N, or sold and shipped by the 3rd party.
You pay more for items where a 3rd party is involved in the above 3 options.

what is so bad about mail-in rebates?

Nothing much, but they can be abused to make buyers pay full price for items.
There's that waiting period before the customer gets the credits, and... patience is really a virtue these days.

Hi Oskeii,

Your question aligns similarly to what I am thinking about. My advice is to go for the 7800XT. It costs less than a 7900XT and seems to have less issues than something like the 7900XTX.

The 7800XT is more than enough for 1440p. Your main concern for GPU, beside cost, would be utilization. Do you care about raw performance or fancy lighting? If raw performance, 7800XT. If fancy lighting (in some titles), 4070.

Disregard "bottle necking." Components are so powerful these days that it's irrelevant. This is coming from someone who used to be obsessed with the term.

Use pcpartpicker or any other wattage calculator to determine your necessary PSU wattage and add 50-100 to it for head room. I hope this helps.
