Hey everyone, I'm trying to decide whether to spend a bit more on a GPU with a clock speed of around 2500MHz instead of going for the cheaper option at 2300MHz. In Germany, the 2300MHz GPU is priced at 749 euros, while the 2500MHz one is about 800 euros. I'm curious about how much of a difference in FPS I might see with the upgrade, and whether it would have any impact on 3D rendering performance in programs like Blender or similar software.

Upgrading could be beneficial, but only if you're into manual overclocking. Better binned chips can OC and undervolt more effectively, which can save you some bucks long-term. If both models are similarly priced, go for the one with the higher clock speed, assuming they have comparable cooling solutions.
Honestly, advertised clock speeds can be misleading. In real usage, you'll often see better performance based on several other factors, not just the clock rate.
Honestly, it might not be worth the extra cash. The performance difference between those two speeds is usually pretty minimal. They should perform nearly identically in most scenarios.
They might end up being quite similar. Remember, the advertised speeds aren't everything. Any 5070 Ti can easily be overclocked to 3000+MHz, and some can even hit 3300 or 3400, so there's definitely some performance left in these cards that Nvidia didn't tap into at launch.
