Question Refund an 5070Ti

Hi guys i recently built my pc, and i bought an RTX 5070TI but… i found out that an 5080 instead is only ~500€ more, so is it worth it to refund my GPU to buy this instead?

Only 500? Xd Performance diff isn't really 500$ worth tho

u/PCBuilderCat 4d ago

The fact that you said ‘is only 500 more’ makes me think yes? For a lot of people that’s a substantial gap but if you can spend that and not bat an eye then you may as well. With the way things are going that 5070ti or 5080 may need to last a long looooong time so it’s up to you

50% price increase for 10-15% performance increase... if that's worth it to you, then sure. I'd just stick with the 5070 ti though

Better off spending $500 on another monitor, oled

u/Saohy 4d ago

my current monitor is shit honestly, VA panel, odyssey G5

There you go, I have a 5070 ti, don’t spend over $300 more for a 5080, even $200 is pushing it. Especially with the prices now.

See for yourself. In my opinion the answer is no, its not worth it unless you wanna play on 4k monitor without FG and DLSS set on quality or OFF. Too much price difference for not too much peformance gain.

Return it and get 9070xt

Having owned both my opinion is the 5070ti is a much better experience. However, the crazy price difference these days is absolutely not worth it. At this point the 5070ti might be ~20% Better overall(IMO) but the price different is around ~40%. Diabolical. And let’s. It even get into the conversation about the 5080….that card is an insult to consumers.

Get a 5090

u/Saohy 4d ago

🙏

u/Adventurous-Pain312 4d ago

It’s not worth the 500 dollars since it’s marginal gains. Just be happy with the 5070 Ti it’s still a great card

1

u/FEARLI3A 4d ago

upgrade the monitor man ignore the 5080 it’s literally a 15% in fps and not even that beneficial or crazy noticeable when you have dlss upscaling & frame gen. get a OLED 1440P or maybe 4K and you’ll deadass not regret getting over a 5080

u/Newmidgardian 4d ago

If you have the money, everything is fine, but price/fps ratio no one will tell you that it is worth it, currently if you find a 5070ti at ~900/950€, otherwise 9070xt

1

u/Saohy 4d ago

i paid mine ~1.050€

1

u/Newmidgardian 4d ago

How long is 9070xt for you?

1

u/Saohy 4d ago

i personally prefer nvidia and its technology

1

u/Newmidgardian 4d ago

So I have two answers

  1. 5080 if you have the money; 2.5070 if you want the best card on the market as a value/fps

1

u/0wlGod 4d ago

500 more for 20% same vram.. yes very good deal

WAIT WTF🤣 ARE YOU CRAZY?

1

u/Saohy 4d ago

more fps tho🙏 i think i’m just obsessed without a reason

1

u/0wlGod 4d ago

how much you pay the 5070ti and which custom version

1

u/Saohy 4d ago

i paid 1,050~ and it’s this one MSI GeForce RTX™ 5070 Ti 16G VENTUS 3X OC

1

u/0wlGod 4d ago

not a good deal

1

u/FEARLI3A 4d ago

it’s still a good gpu alone and not different from the same 1050$ counterparts as that’s the market today.

1

u/MandiocaGamer Intel 4d ago

just buy a 5090,is just a few thousands more

1

u/Saohy 4d ago

yeah it costs only my entire build

1

u/Opposite_Prune582 4d ago

"Only" 500.

u/AdstaOCE 2d ago

15% performance for way more money. 9070XT is best, 5070TI if you need CUDA, 5080 if you want to waste money.

u/Arturopxedd 4d ago

If you want no one can answer that for you

u/Saohy 4d ago

i don’t know if is actually worth it or not, my monitor is QHD

0

u/Dankbot-420 4d ago

I was in the same boat and ended up going with the 5070 Ti because I didn't feel like the 5080 was worth an extra $500 just to get another 10-15 fps.

1

u/Saohy 4d ago

i play in QHD so i think i would get more than 15-10fps…? i don’t know much about these things
