True but then DDR5 ram and the processor pushes it to 13k (RAM alone is double that of DDR4) and that’s not including Storage and power supply so around 16k for all

The current intel build I had in mind is sitting at 12k including ssd and power supply

Thanks for the help though plus have some ebucks so purchasing through takealot was important

Hi guys

Wanted to ask about the new NVIDIA cards being worth it ? Seen some reviews on the new 4060Ti and 4070 not being worth the cost

Is AMD a better option looking at the 3070 mostly 1440p gaming but will also hook up to a 4K tv and game as well seems the 3070 can handle some 4K with DLSS

But also saw that the AMD RX 6800 XT which is around the same cost as a 3070 beats it significantly so for the future is it better to go AMD or is NVIDIA with their DLSS better for games in the future ?

Also saw someone saying the 8GB of VRAM could be an issue for the future ?

It depends on local pricing. For example, the 4080 is terrible value compared to the 7900 XTX if both are MSRP, but when both are priced similarly and you value ray tracing performance, suddenly the 4080 looks like a good idea.

DLSS - it is nice, but it's not perfect, and it becomes less effective at resolutions lower than 4K.

8GB - not if you want to play at 4K with RTX. Hogwarts Legacy already needs more than that.

Actually why I decided AMD the really bad VRAM situation on NVIDIA is making them unusable (excluding the high end 40 series ) if you saw how the last of us was running

Also the amount of vram NVIDIA is putting on the upcoming 40 series is bad (rumors )

Had my eye on a 3070 but the last of us showed how the future was for below 10GB vram cards minimum

So eventually settled on a RX 6800 with 16GB
 
I keep seeing people talking about VRAM issues but I don't think any of these people own the cards they're talking about.

My 3070 Plays Hogwarts Legacy at 1440p with everything maxed and Ray-Tracing enabled. Without RTX I average around 100FPS, sometimes 130, sometimes 80. VRAM becomes an issue at higher resolutions, but the cards designed for those resolutions typically have additional VRAM.

I’ve seen it on the last of us pc release being an issue the 3060 was doing better than the Ti and 3070 cause of the VRAM limitation of 8GB
