Question The RTX 4070 was a bust

[spaceman]

I plugged in a zotac 4070 coming from a 3060ti it was underwhelming 😑

 

[spaceman]

I don’t need to be mister ultra, smooth frames on high/mixed

 

[spaceman]

I guess the best I can say without being pedantic this nv gen is a skip

 

[MrTeal]

The 4070 isn't a bad card at

 

[MrTeal]

least relative to the other NV models this gen. That being

 

[MrTeal]

said, you're not going to get great uplift with Ada versus

 

[MrTeal]

Ampere so unless you are Mr Ultra it's probably best to skip.

Why would you even expect a notable improvement

 

[Seba]

half a tier up (from x60 Ti to x70)

 

[Seba]

and from a GPU generation to the following one?

 

[Seba]

Lat time there was a notable performance jump

 

[Seba]

between GPU generations

 

[Seba]

was from Maxwell to Pascal.

Discord went (partially) down for just one day, and look at the damage it has caused already.

 

[KompuKare]

Is there a new vBulletin setting which posts after each return?!?!

 

[WelshBloke]

I'll go check.

 

[WelshBloke]

No, I don't think that there is!

sorry I was hitting the sauce pretty hard last night.
one example, starfield, ran like trash on the 3060ti, it ran like leftovers contemplating being trash on the 4070. the other games I play, i didn't notice substantial improvement.

cpu bound? What's the rest of your system?

That’s a game with pretty brutal hardware requirements (for HQ settings).

Send 4070 back. Get RX 7800 XT.

Send 4070 back. Get RX 7800 XT.

More like an RX 7900 XTX and top of the line AMD Zen4 or Intel 13 series. I want play it, but I won’t be seeing 60FPS @ 1440p without turning a bunch of settings down.

return it.

This time around its worse. The x7xx and x6xx series from both brands is basically being labeled one higher than it really was this gen. The 4070 is really what the 4060 should have been, the 7800 is what the 7700 should have been and the 7700 is more 7600, and the 4060 is more akin to what the 4050 typically would've been.

Plus typically you do get some gains even from the same level of a new generation, but that's been slowing down, however, even as far as the modest gains in the past several years goes, this year was worse because both brands naming scheme was misused.

RX 7600 (full Navi 33 / 32CU) is really RX 7600 XT.

But so little performance improvement over RX 6600 XT / RX 6650 XT / full Navi 23 (32 CU), that AMD labeled it RX 7600 (without XT suffix) to save (some) face.

I don't think there will be a Navi 3x - based RX 7600 XT. Maybe as a re-labeled Navi 22.
