Please help, my eyes are bludgeoned from research, I know it's basically a coin flip but I rarely get to build a new rig.
Stuck deciding between a Gigabyte 5700 XT (OC) or it's 2070 OC cousin (Gigabyte as well, non-super). I paid $400 for the xt off amazon but now the 2070 is on sale for the same. From what I can tell, the 2070 might be a few % faster (negligible tho). I have a 4k 42" and a 38 ultrawide (freesync) and play FPS primarily (and watch/encode 4k mkvs).
I've only ever had AMD GPUs so I cant speak on Nvidia really. I know people that love them. The thing that worries me about the 5700 xt now is that some claim the drivers from AMD are a hot mess. And also, the temps. The 5700xt seems to run hotter. I leave my PC up for days, it's basically a server + some games. Just want the best longevity and stability.
The 5700 has pci 4.0 going for it (which I'll never use) and is a newer card/chip, which is why I opted for it. But now with the 2070 being the same price...I dont know.
What would you all advise?
