Upgrading from RTX 4070 to 4080 Super or 5070 TI ?

Featured Replies

Hello,

here is my config:

  • X570 Aorus Ultra
  • Ryzen 7 5800X3D
  • RTX 4070 12 Go
  • 64 Go Ram
  • Win10
  • MSFS 2024
  • SSD Samsung 990 Pro

My question is quite simple.
If current graphics card prices were reasonable, would it be better to upgrade from a 4070 to a 4080 super (second-hand) or to a 5070 ti, or would it be better to aim higher because the gain won't be enough?

Thanks for answer

Franck

The underlying question, what resolution are you playing at?

Hello, yes sorry: 2560x1440

The two cards are very close, performance-wise...I remember seeing a comparison video running MSFS 2024, and they were within 1-2 fps of each other.

The biggest upside is 16GB of VRAM on both.  And with that CPU and a 2560x1440 display, you probably don't need more GPU.

If if i were in your shoes the next step for me would be a socket AM5 platform upgrade (CPU/MB/Memory). While you do need to upgrade your GPU (due to VRAM for msfs2024) i would put that off for a little bit and do the platform first which would then give you a little time to see if the prices come down a touch for the GPU. If you do still decide to go with the GPU ... 5070Ti/9070XT would do for your resolution (single display 1440p) 4K or VR requires more GPU grunt.

A few months ago I upgraded to the MSI 5070ti. My monitor is a MSI 49"  and I run the resolution at 51XX x 1440. With my cpu a 7800x3d, 64 gigs ram, it works well. Sims I us are MSFS2020 & XP12 mainly. Very pleased with the entire set up.
