Hey everyone! I'm considering upgrading from my RTX 3080 as it tends to get pretty hot and noisy when playing demanding games and during tasks like rendering in Blender and Photoshop. If I was just gaming, the choice seems clear since AMD cards are generally cheaper and offer better performance. However, I'm looking at the new pricing: the 9070 XT is around 3200 PLN and the 5070 Ti is about 4300 PLN, which is roughly a 34% increase in price. I'm wondering if the benefits from the lower TDP and CUDA cores in the 5070 Ti justify this higher cost. I've also been thinking that the real question might be about benchmarks for Blender and Photoshop performance across the 3080, 5070, and 5070 Ti but I'll do my own research on that too. I appreciate any thoughts!

Yeah, when it comes to productivity in programs like Blender, Nvidia has a clear edge. In benchmarks, the 5070 Ti shows a better performance compared to the 9070 XT, especially for rendering tasks.
Honestly, it’s about what you value more. If you’re doing heavy rendering often, the additional cost might be justified, especially if you’re trading in your 3080. But for straight-up gaming? The 9070 XT could be a worthwhile choice.
Definitely! If you're working with software like Blender, Nvidia really shines in those creative tasks. The gaming performance might not show a huge difference, but for productivity, you'll notice the benefits of the 5070 Ti over the 9070 XT.
If you're looking for lower temperatures and less noise, the 5070 Ti is likely your best bet. Underclocking your 3080 might help a bit, but if you're looking for something newer and more efficient, going with the 5070 Ti makes sense.
Just be cautious with undervolting; finding the sweet spot can be tricky!
Exactly! You have to weigh how much you value time savings on rendering versus the extra cash for the 5070 Ti. It might come down to how often these tasks take place for you.
It's crazy how much of a gap there is. AMD really needs to step up in productivity optimization!
