Green or red? Mid-range gpu decisions (lemmy.world)

Looking to upgrade my trusty 1070Ti. I use my pc for RPGs (Borderlands, Hogwarts Legacy) , VR fps (Alyx, Arizona Sunshine) and VR simracing (F1 23).

Deciding between ASUS Dual 4070 (@ €600) or ASUS TUF 7800XT.

Benchmarks don't really tell the whole story because they rarely include DLSS3, but the games I play don't really support that anyway. TUF is a better cooler, but bulkier.

I can also just not buy anything and wait for the 4070 Super to come along.

Thoughts?

Hogwarts Legacy does support DLSS FG (Frame generation).

In general it's always better to wait, especially with the new cards around the corner (and corresponding price cuts).

You left out your resolution, do you play at 1080p? 1440p? 4K? What refresh rate? The decision largely hinges on that, for example for the games you listed at 1440p and 144hz+ even a 4070 is on the weaker side.

Thanks for your input! I have a 1440p capable monitor at 165Hz refresh rate but I'm fine with anything above 75fps.
