Hey everyone, I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card and I'm considering either the AORUS RTX 5070 or the Eagle RTX 5070 Ti. I came across some info suggesting that pairing the RTX 5070 Ti with the Core Ultra 245K might lead to a 7% bottleneck, which seems significant for my needs. I mainly do video editing, so I'm a bit torn about whether to go for the standard 5070 or the more powerful Ti version. What do you all recommend?

When it comes to video editing, the graphics card isn't as crucial as you might think. Your workflow often determines performance more than the CPU/GPU combo, especially with programs like Premiere. But if you’re running Filmora and doing a lot of flashy effects, you might want something more powerful.
Don’t let a supposed "7% bottleneck" steer your purchase decision. That’s pretty negligible. If you really need that extra VRAM, just go for the RTX 5070 Ti. It's a better investment for future-proofing your build.
The 245K is solid. If you can spare a bit more, though, check out the 265K. It’s not that much more expensive and could be worth it.
Honestly, those bottleneck calculators aren’t very reliable. Just go for the CPU and GPU that fit your budget and what you actually want to do with your setup.
