بعد ترقية إلى شاشة OLED بجودة 1440p جديدة، لاحظت أن RTX 3070 يعاني من صعوبة في مواكبة الأداء. مع عرض حالي في Best Buy، أفكر في ترقية وحدة المعالجة الرسومية وأجد نفسي أقارن خيارين: RTX 5070 و AMD 9070 (النسخة غير XT). يُباع RTX 5070 بسعر 768 دولار كندي، مما يجعله أقل بـ 120 دولارًا مقارنة بالخيار البدائي AMD الذي يبلغ 888 دولارًا.
بينما استخدمت دائمًا بطاقات NVIDIA وأقدر الميزات مثل DLSS وتقنيات إنشاء الإطارات - والتي ساعدت حتى RTX 3070 على التعامل مع بعض الألعاب بدقة 4K - أشعر بالقلق بشأن ما إذا كان 12 جيجابايت من ذاكرة VRAM سيكون كافيًا في المستقبل. لا أعرف ما إذا كانت تقنيات التكبير يمكن أن تكمل بشكل كامل قيود ذاكرة VRAM المحتملة، مما يجعل القرار بين البقاء في نظام مألوف أو استكشاف العرض الخاص بـ AMD صعبًا.
أعيش نفس المأزق حالياً مع شاشة 1440p جديدة! خاصةً نقطة ذاكرة الفيديو 12 جيجا في RTX 5070 التي تثير قلقي حقاً، فبعض الألعاب الحديثة تستهلك بالفعل أكثر من 10 جيجا عند الإعدادات العالية. جربت بطاقة AMD سابقاً وكان أداؤها جيداً لكني أفتقد مزايا DLSS التي ساعدتني كثيراً في 3070 كما ذكرت. هل تعتقد أن فرق 120 دولار يستحق المخاطرة بتجربة منصة جديدة أم أن البقاء مع NVIDIA أكثر أماناً على المدى الطويل؟
The 9070 is a solid card. In my testing, its ray tracing performance was nearly identical to the RTX 5070. Since they’re very similar, go with the cheaper option.
DLSS is useful, but DLSS 4’s synthetic frame feature can slow down performance. It’s slightly better than FSR, but not worth paying extra if the Nvidia card is more expensive.
The main difference is VRAM. More VRAM allows higher graphics settings, but we’re only now reaching the point where 10GB isn’t enough for new games. So choose the more affordable card.
DLSS is not only better, but it also has much broader game support than FSR.
As a 5070 owner, I can run all my games—including demanding titles like Cyberpunk and Stellar Blade—at 1440p Ultra without issues. I was initially skeptical about the 12GB VRAM, but it’s more than enough for the vast majority of games.
If you plan to upgrade to 4K soon, neither of these cards is ideal, as performance will become a bottleneck before VRAM does. There’s a lot of VRAM fearmongering on Reddit; while extra VRAM is nice to have, it’s not essential. You’re better off spending less on the GPU and investing in an OLED monitor, which makes a bigger difference anyway.
Much of the criticism around NVIDIA’s 50 series comes from people upgrading from 30 or 40 series cards. I upgraded from a 2060 with 6GB VRAM, and even that handled most games well. NVIDIA deserves the backlash for the minimal generational improvements, but if you’re upgrading from an older card, anything will be a significant upgrade.
The 5070 will remain a solid choice for the next 3-4 years. If VRAM becomes an issue later, you can always lower some settings. Personally, I don’t notice much difference between Medium and High, and for competitive games, I prefer Medium to keep 1% lows high. Outside of those, I don’t even monitor FPS.
You’ll be fine with either card—they perform similarly. If the 5070 fits your budget better, go for it. Neither will disappoint.
If you want DLSS or to save money, go with the RTX 5070. If neither of those matter to you, the 9070 is a good choice. Both are solid options.
When it comes to VRAM, is that more of a raw performance concern? With DLSS, will the 12GB be less of an issue?
VRAM may become a limitation at high resolutions with high or ultra texture settings, but it generally won’t impact performance unless a game uses all available VRAM.
12GB is sufficient for most users, though on very demanding titles you may need to use medium or high settings instead of ultra.
Using DLSS to upscale to 1440p can help reduce VRAM usage if you wish to maintain high or ultra settings. I’m uncertain whether frame generation would perform as effectively at native 1440p.
The 9070 is slightly more powerful, but Nvidia offers superior technology. Both are solid options.
Yes, DLSS can reduce VRAM usage in some cases, but it depends on the game. 12 GB is plenty of VRAM, and there’s a lot of unnecessary fear about VRAM on Reddit.
For 1440p gaming, I’d choose the 16GB card and not worry about VRAM.
The 9070 offers more raw power and VRAM than the 5070, with FSR4 performing comparably to DLSS. It also tends to run cooler based on comparisons. However, choose the 5070 if you plan to use Cycles for Blender rendering.
I would choose the RTX 5070. While non-ray tracing performance is similar, the 5070 significantly outperforms the 9070 in e-sports titles. It also wins in ray tracing due to additional features like RR and DLSS 4.
At $120 less, paying extra for slightly more VRAM isn’t worthwhile. Save that money to upgrade to a more powerful card with 16GB in 3-4 years when it will be needed. Meanwhile, if 12GB isn’t sufficient in some games, simply lower some settings.
Until he runs out of VRAM.
The 9070 is actually 8 to 10 percent faster than the RTX 5070 in raster performance.
The RTX 5070 is about 10% faster in raster performance, but ray tracing performance varies significantly between them.
However, the 9070 costs 15% more.
It does have more VRAM, but you lose some features. In my opinion, the most significant loss is RTX HDR rather than DLSS.
Based on review data from Techpowerup and Techspot, the RTX 5070 averages 4-7 fps more. Unless you can perceive that difference without a frame counter, which most people can’t, the performance gain is negligible.
Until Nvidia returns to stock connectors, I would choose AMD.
NVIDIA is the clear choice here.
I would choose the RTX 5070 for RTX HDR. AMD doesn’t have a comparable feature, which makes a significant difference on an OLED display. It’s hard to justify paying more for either card when their overall performance is so similar.
I’m currently making the same decision, also upgrading from a 3070, and I’m strongly leaning toward the 9070. Here’s why:
– **Better performance:** I play in 4K on my TV, and the 9070’s performance advantage is more noticeable at that resolution, especially in 1% lows. Recent driver updates have improved 9070 performance in many games, which most launch reviews didn’t account for.
– **Better temperatures:** I have a small form factor PC, so a cooler-running GPU is important. In Tom’s Hardware benchmarks, the 9070 was among the coolest GPUs, while the 5070 ran quite hot.
– **Lower power draw:** My speakers on the same circuit buzz with higher power usage, so I prioritize power-efficient cards.
One additional performance consideration: Some users flash the 9070 XT BIOS to their 9070 and achieve near-XT performance. I won’t be doing this due to my power requirements, but it’s worth noting.
I’m facing the same dilemma and leaning toward the RX 9070 due to its VRAM and concerns about the new 12V connector melting on Nvidia cards.
I purchased a 9070 XT at MSRP during a sale and expect it to arrive in 1–2 weeks. Feel free to check back in 2–3 weeks for my impressions.
I hope it works well for you.
After a week of use, it’s a huge improvement over the 3070. The only thing I miss is the voltage curves in MSI Afterburner.
The lowest price I’ve seen for the RTX 5070 is around $669 for a Powercolor Hellhound model. I’ll probably stick with my 3070 a bit longer since it’s still performing well in Battlefield 6.
It depends on your priorities. If you’re flexible about the brand and specific model, you can find options. I purchased a PowerColor Reaper at MSRP and later saw it drop further on Amazon. Currently, the ASRock Challenger is at MSRP on Newegg. Last week, Gigabyte had an open-box model in excellent condition for $608 at Best Buy. Of course, there’s also nothing wrong with sticking with the 3070.
I found the ASRock Challenger and Steel Legend cards on Newegg, and the Steel Legend is scheduled to arrive next week.
Lower power draw: I have an interesting issue where my speaker connected to the same circuit starts to buzz (even if it’s not connected to the PC) with higher power use in the circuitry, so I always consider the most power efficient cards.
I wanted to add that I had a similar issue with my headphones. It turned out the problem was actually my PSU, which had a grounding issue. I initially suspected my GPU, but when I opened my PC and put it under heavy graphic load, I could clearly hear the noise coming from the PSU. I replaced it and haven’t had the issue since, still using the same GPU.
Your problem might be different, but just as a heads up.
To address the issue, I reduced the overall power consumption. I tested different outlets on my two power conditioners and found one that performed slightly better. Undervolting the GPU made a significant difference without major performance loss. Later, I upgraded from a gold-rated PSU to a platinum-rated PSU, which made the issue inaudible most of the time. Now, I only notice it when I turn on my subwoofer (adding 300W to the circuit) or when MSI Afterburner resets to default voltage.
I had a similar issue that was resolved by replacing my PSU, so it might help to check yours. However, your problem could have a different cause. Consider using a power brick with isolated outputs and line filters, and be cautious when adjusting those values.
Thank you for prompting me to revisit this. After purchasing a power conditioner with isolated banks didn’t resolve the issue, I traced it to a ground loop between my small subwoofer DSP, subwoofer, and receiver. The ground loop generated more noise as the PC drew more current, picking up increased EMI/RFI. That’s why a better PSU and undervolting helped but didn’t fully solve it. Now I’m deciding whether to remove the DSP or use a ground loop isolator to keep it.
