RX 9070 XT $650

Anyone want to buy a white one and trade for my black one?

It don't matter if you're black or white

I am still running a 5800X3D and a 3070ti. Anyone know if I will benefit swapping out my 3070ti for the 9700XT while STILL running the 5800X3d with DDR4?

Yea, it should be fine. I moved from a 2080ti to a 9070 (before moving to an rtx 5070ti) and the difference was noticeable.

I have an amd 7600x


That said it can depend on the game and resolution.

It'll still be worth it. The 5800X3D is ~9% worse in 1080P gaming performance with a 13600K I used to use. The performance difference between a 9700XT and 3070 Ti is almost 50%. If you're playing at 2K or 4K, you'll hardly notice much difference compared to having the latest and greatest CPU to pair with it, except the 1% lows and frametime latency

Thanks for the info, everyone! I’m going to hold off until Prime Day to see if I can snag a deal on an RTX 5070 Ti. I forgot that my gaming PC pulls double duty for some 3D metrology software that prefers Nvidia. It won’t even run on my laptop's Intel Arc 140V, and I don’t want to risk Radeon compatibility issues.

5070Ti production was scaled back in favour of 5080, just a heads up. Hopefully there is something on Prime Day, but I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't given the production situation. It's not long now though, so might as well wait for that, and hopefully we'll see a deal come up for one. In Canada, you can get a 9070XT for $300-$400 less than a 5070Ti right now, so for gaming it's the no-brainer choice at that level, but for what you need the card for, if you need CUDA, you don't have much choice, unfortunately. Best of luck, either way!

Also, for what it's worth, I'm running a 5800x3D with my 5080 right now, albiet at 4K. It shreds everything I throw at it. It's still an excellent gaming CPU, but as I always say to people, don't chase benchmarks, just go with how things feel. If you're happy with your set up, leave it alone. I personally don't have an incentive to upgrade as of now with the performance of this thing, nor did I feel I was lacking with my 1440p set up.

It'll blow it out of the water. 5800x3d is still an excellent gaming CPU. One of the top all things considered. AMD is actually starting to manufacture them again due to the current DDR5 debacle. I have everything I need except a CPU to build an AM4 build with 32gb from spare parts. I'm thinking of picking one of the new 5800x3d's up and building something.

Yeah, that chip is still great with modern cards. I ran my 5800X3D with my 5080 for a few weeks while I was dragging ass on rebuilding the rest of my PC and it was rarely CPU bottlenecked still.

But there was a significant difference in a couple games I play like Helldivers 2 that I still play a lot, but I chalk that up mostly to the game being fairly unoptimized on some levels like the city maps where I noticed it the most. As even my 9800X3D chokes on it in the same areas and drags my GPU down to 60% utilization at times.

Helldivers 2 is a performance abomination and I regret sinking a year into it. Total outlier.

I still enjoy it very much playing it for the last year. 🤷‍♂️

The performance has only been an issue on city maps and with crazy enemy counts on max difficulty dives. And they just released a performance update to support all the vendor upscalers (DLSS, FSR, & XESS) as well. Though I'm not sure they've improved CPU performances with this update at all, as I've been away for a couple weeks.

But yes, definitely an outlier. Just citing my personal experience.

They don't play or test their updates. It's unlikely they improved anything without breaking everything else.

Indeed. 🥲

They did just start closed beta testing for updates though. They fumble almost every update, but I love the core gameplay so much I still keep playing it as long as the game isn't hard crashing. 🙃
