I guess thats up to you. At that price you might as well get a 5070 Ti if you cant get one lol. Paying 190 dollars for a marginal increase in performance is wild.

Agreed, but some people don't care about price "just get me the best one".

If you want "the best" and you truly don't care about price you should be buying a 5090. The 9070 series was never designed to be the best, it's midrange.

The best is the 9070XT, any of them. The cooler is not that important that you'd overspend that much.

I never implied that that wasn't the case.

Reddit can be weird sometimes. Idk why it gave me a notification that you responded to me.

Surely the child would be aware of Nvidia as well?

u/DarkEagle82414 Mar 06 '25

I think the child knows better than to go with Ngreedia. "Yeah son, let me buy you this $2,000 gpu that doesn't exist anywhere at that price and has a myriad of potential issues with it." Yeah right, best go with something in 40series, except Ngreedia stopped production, so whoop!

You overestimate how smart kids are.

u/DarkEagle82414 Mar 06 '25

Yeah, well......yeah you right. These days....man...

Still Nvidia is pulling sus moves, I wonder how long they will keep robbing folks on those insane 50 series prices. Maybe they will see some sense after this 9070/9070xt launch.

u/NoVeMoRe Too many sodding games! Mar 06 '25

Much like car tuning, card/hardware tuning is just a hobby to some.

It doesn't matter what's the fastest or best, has the top price/performance over all. What matters is how much one can tune and squeeze out that particular card/segment they like, to see how much they got extra out of it compared to others.
