Need advice for a new GPU to replace MSI 3070TI Gaming X trio

[deepblue_82]

no choice because even AI want Nvidia gpu and 2 x 5060TI 16GB can run home AI

for AI yes Nvidia but gaming 9070xt running longer

 

[ragnarok95]

Just get a 5070 will do.

Waste money on a not so strong gpu.

yaya gpu is the more you buy - the more you save

My zotac 5080 arrived, but the card is sooo big, even bigger than my 3090 by a lot. I installed but cannot install my tempered glass cover. It is too tall. Is there a L connector for the 5000 series nvidia card power? It is too tall to fit inside my case.

Last but not least...if you are born in 1975 and still gaming. You rocks! YOLO..

LOL. My fingers cannot keep up with the game. It's sticky.
PC assembly is my hobby so I help my kid sourcing a replacement GPU.
So far, reapply thermal paste seems to fix the problem.
Need to keep an eye for a new GPU as I am sure how long the fix can last.

if it is just over heating because the paste dry up , this is a easy fix. Just reapply every 2 to 3 years

Hmmm...my PC is quite old liao..6 years +

But RAM prices + GPU prices put me on hold to build a new one.

Got a spare laptop to do any administration things..access Govt website..CPF, CDC, read emails and pay bills all these

out of these, i feel the 5070ti is the best option as the 5080 is only around 15% faster yet the cheapest 5080 here is at least 30% more costly, u also dont get more vram either. none of these are within ur original budget though and personally, id opt for something like a 9060xt 16gb for $550 from techyard, very similar performance to the 3070ti but with double the vram. this also means it is about half as fast as a 5080, but at about a quarter of the cost is much better bang for buck; u also still keep the 16gb vram. if u want an upgrade for ur kid, u can opt for a 5070 at $850 (which is a "good" deal compared to 5060ti pricing) or a 9070xt at around $1k (similar to 5070ti performance). do remember to check if the card u want can fit in the existing case before buying, the higher end nv cards can get super long.

Just get MSI 5070 Ti Gaming Trio OC 16gb @ ~$1.5K. Avoid Ventus line in MSI offerings. It's the lowest tier with loud fans and poor cooling.

Of course, if you gian the 5 year warranty, then go Zotac which is usually the cheapest brand within its own class of GPUs.

 

[tremor]

5080 can be bought for less than $1.5k on shopee with the electronics voucher. Palit gaming OC 5080.

 

[ragnarok95]

From the cards you mentioned above, you are a dad who is willing to spend "a bit" more.

Got discount just get the 5080. No discount willing to spend, get the 5070Ti.

Anything below S$1000, just get the 9070XT and ignore any 9070, 5070, 9060 which are rubbish IMO.

I went with Zotac RTX 5070TI Solid Core 16GB. The 5 yr warranty is attractive.

I went into a SLS shop and asked for "1070TI". The shop keeper's jaw dropped.
He said, "That's a museum piece." No...no...no... 5070TI.

Seasonic makes a 12v GPU 90 degree connector. They make 2 types, 1 for older PSU, which mine is. And the other for newer PSU with the 600W port for GPU. Get the correct one guys.

I went to whole SLS, nobody bring in to Singapore. Have to buy online. But change cable is better than change case.

[ragnarok95]

That is your case issue. Your problem le. My new seasonic psu also never come with 90 degree cable.

PC gaming used to be a niche hobby until speculators and industry started to compete for the same PC components e.g. crypto mining, AI. Sudden massive demand cause prices to spiral.

Prices have never been the same since COVID.
