Hey everyone! I'm in the market for a new graphics card and I'm torn between getting an AORUS RTX 5070 and an Eagle RTX 5070 Ti. I came across some information suggesting there could be about a 7% bottleneck when pairing the RTX 5070 Ti with a Core Ultra 245K, which seems significant for my needs. I'm mostly into video editing, so I'm not sure if the extra power of the Ti justifies the potential bottleneck. What do you all recommend?

For video editing, your graphics card isn't the only thing that counts. Depending on your software, the way you manage your workflow can actually be the bottleneck, not just the CPU/GPU combo—especially with something like Premiere.
Honestly, those bottleneck calculators are usually not reliable. Just choose a CPU and GPU that match your budget and what you want to accomplish. It's all about balance!
The 245K should handle the RTX 5070 just fine. If the price difference isn't too crazy, though, consider upgrading to the 265K for a bit more performance. It might be worth it in the long run!
I mainly use Filmora for editing, but I often have plenty of effects on my timeline, so I get where you're coming from!
