I'm thinking about upgrading my GTX 1070 Ti to the new RTX 5070 Ti. I was ready to make the purchase, but then I heard some concerns about overheating issues due to NVIDIA removing hot spot sensors on the 50 series. Should I be worried about these potential overheating problems? Or would you recommend I still go ahead and buy the 5070 Ti? Just to note, finding a 40 series card has been almost impossible lately, but I did find the 5070 Ti at MSRP, specifically the Asus Prime Edition.

What are your current specs? Just curious if everything can handle the upgrade smoothly!
You really don't have to worry. Your PC isn't going to catch fire just because there are no hot spot sensors. It's just a minor change.
I get that, but I still think hot spot sensors are useful for keeping track of GPU health over time. A 10 degrees difference can indicate if everything's okay.
The 5070 Ti is a solid choice! You'll enjoy the upgrade for sure.
Honestly, I wouldn't stress too much about it. If there was a real overheating issue, there would have been a huge uproar in the community. Just go for it!
Yeah, you make a good point. If there were major problems, people would definitely be talking about it. Thanks, your comment has motivated me to grab the 5070 Ti!
I'm actually upgrading from a 4070 Super to a 5070 Ti soon.
If I were you, I might hold onto the 4070 Super for another year or two. Just a thought.
I have a Ryzen 5 3600X (but I'm planning on upgrading my CPU soon), a Cooler Master 750W 80+ Bronze PSU, and 32GB of RAM. I think that's decent for the 5070 Ti.
