2.5x faster card . there may be a bottleneck if the game doesnt scale well across multiple cores

What is your budget?

What resolution do you play on?

What features do you absolutely need from Nvidia versus AMD?

Do you have any intentions of moving to Linux in the future?

What is your power supply rated, age and brand?

There are plenty of videos on youtube showing the performance differences between PCI-E 1-5 in games. Some games are more bandwidth sensitive than others.

I would be aiming for a 16GB VRAM card if it is within your budget. Nobody should be buying a 12GB VRAM card as it is bad value, longevity and resale.

What is your budget?

About $600

What resolution do you play on?

3440x1440 but will play on 1440p or 1080p if I don't have to look at black bars on the sides.

What features do you absolutely need from Nvidia versus AMD?

Always bought nvidia cards for the last 25 years. My first being the geforce 256. Never really had a problem with nvidia. I did buy a ATI radeon that failed after 7 months. Then went back to nvidia and never had any problems.


Do you have any intentions of moving to Linux in the future?

That is a firm no.

What is your power supply rated, age and brand?

Corsair 750w about 3 or 4 years old.

It's very rare for the speed differences between adjacent pci-e versions to have a significant impact.

Maybe 3.0 to 5.0 you might have something measurable. That's what I've seen in every generation of this question because at some point some tech site does the testing.

The other thing to consider that a card that meets the pci-e 5.0 interface spec isn't going to use all that bandwidth, not all the time, and depending on the details, maybe never use it all.

Get yourself an Intel Arc B580. It's $250.

In that price range for the 5070Ti 12GB card you picked on NewEgg is your only option for a 1440p card.

For AMD in the same price range Sapphire is a very reputable brand at 1440p.

An AMD Ryzen 3900x will not bottleneck an Nvidia 5070Ti but it might depend on the game if it heavily CPU bound more than GPU. The higher the resolution it will shift more towards the GPU.

Example:

As someone that recently upgraded to a 3060 12GB from a 1070 8GB, 12GB is better than 8GB either way you look at it.

My Goal
More than 8GB
Stronger than the 1070

Yes
And DEFINITELTY Yes

So as long as your upgrade is at least 1-2 times stronger than the 2060S and has more VRAM, all comes down to price.

About 600, i would get a asrock challenger rx9070xt 16gb. But i'm afraid it would vaporize the rest of your system.

If you are gaming at 1440p I would choose a 9070xt as you will be mostly gpu bound. For 1080p I would probably opt for 9060xt instead. AMD will give you much better price to performance. The Arc B580 is a killer card for the price point. The Ngreedia 5060 is overpriced for what it is.

The legendary GTX 1080 Ti sits on the throne like an immortal king, while newer cards like the RTX 3060Ti, 3080Ti, and even the mighty RTX 4090 and 5090 bow before its greatness.

What makes this so damn funny is how the 1080 Ti released in 2017 still commands respect in 2024. It's that one graphics card that refuses to become obsolete despite its age—the perfect price-to-performance ratio that haunts NVIDIA's marketing team to this day. Gamers still cling to it like it's the holy grail while newer cards struggle to justify their kidney-selling prices.

there is absolutely no difference between PCIe 4.0 x16 and PCIe 5.0 x16
not even the 5090 can max out PCIe 4.0
I am currently running a 4090 on a B550 and its not maxing out PCIe 4.0 x16
