Buying Gaming PC

If these rumours are assumed to be correct, effectively Super series will have no performance improvement, just VRAM bump. So in a way 4070S, 5070 & 5070S will have similar performance, maybe 4070S to 5070S will be a 10% jump. So not a great deal for consumers.

For someone with budget of 60k, yes, the VRAM upgrade of 5070S is beneficial but if someone can afford 5070Ti at 78k, better to just buy 5070Ti now & enjoy gaming for next few months instead of waiting for Super series.

When is it rumoured to release? (50 super series).

Rumored around Christmas.

i really doubt they launch 5070 super at 549 but who knows

where can i find 5070ti for 78k ??

Ask for stock before ordering.

any idea how gigabyte fares at rmas/support?

One of the bigger factor in ray tracing has been the Vram size.

8gb does not even run ray tracing well because of the low vram you need atleast 9 gbs for the lowest ray tracing settings.

So the bigger vram can become value for money if it can help in further ray tracing improvements.

Wouldn’t the 10% jump put the 5070 super about as fast as the 9070 non-XT? Just asking

I have a 5080, never saw VRAM usage go beyond 13.5GB or so. Spiderman 2 was one of the heavier RT titles I played but I couldn’t max out RT with RR even on my 5080 because of the fps at even 4K DLSS quality.

I will buy 16GB variant. Quick question, these big dealers in NP, do still take money in cash to avoid GST?

The recommended system power requirement of this GPU is 750W. Will I need a GPU of 1000W or above?

You should be good with a 750W power supply. For the sale of future upgradeability and precautions, maybe 850W is better. I am planning to go with 850W for my build.

Buy an 850W PSU, considering future upgrades in mind, but a 750W will be fine.

I was running my 9800X3D + 5080 on a 750W till last weekend before my old PSU died.

Had good experience with Gigabyte RMA. Quick response and product replacement. They were very helpful considering I stay in a Tier 3 city.

If I buy all the items form same person and tell them to assemble it, will they take guarantee if any of the component fails? I have bad reputation of Nehru Place sellers. I have assembled PCs my self. But its been 15 years now.

At Lamington Road, I have seen people getting replacements if any of the component is dead on assembly. Some shops have a 72 hrs window if you’re assembling it yourself and have any issues. I have no idea about Nehru Place sellers but I think they should provide replacement since it’s being opened and installed by them in their own shop?

Yes I bought my first gaming PC way back in 2008 from Lamington Road, it was a good experience but the dealers of Nehru Place aren’t the same

​I have a bad news. It’s going beyond my budget.This seems to be the only option I can afford with my budget.

  • AMD Ryzen 5 9600X

  • GB B850 GAMING PLUS WIFI

  • 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30 Kingston FURY Beast

  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (instead of 9070 or 5070 Ti)

  • 1TB NVMe WD BLACK SN7100

I will game at 2K instead of 4K. Within an year I will upgrade the GPU and display yo 4K. What is your suggestion?

Yes it’s good.
Can you change to RX9060XT 16GB because FSR4 and FSR Redstone is around the corner and with your 2k monitor it will give good high fps.
