UPGRADE REQUIRED? GTX 980Ti, GTX 1070, & Vega 56 In 2023

someone can tell me what should i choose 980ti or vega 56 for wow?

would have liked to see a more realistic combo
don’t think anyone combines a 13900K with any of these cards

the only reason I have a 1070 over Vega even though I am an AMD fan is because during that time Crypto made even a 580 be a lot more expensive than a 1070

bought my vega56 like about 4yrs ago. i was in a struggle between nvidia or this vega56.. i completely kinda regret my choice. had a gtx 970 before but it was broken from the beginning.. but kinda ran better or equal but the temps... gosh the temps were SO much better. this asus strix version of mine has 3 damn fans and cannot handle to get cooling itself? changed the case, fans etc etc but still. its not overheating at all but i hate to put the fans around 85 % just to keep the vega under 80c degrees.. dont feel comfy with these temps even anyones on google mentioning thats completely safe. i wish i had just gave it back back then rly.

WHy are you using current gen CPU to test out GPUs from 8 years ago ?

Remember when leather jacket guy was on stage and announced that the 1070 is faster than the Titan X? 🤔 What a croc of shit.

Same

i get 90fps on 1070 in cyberpunk max settings, not sure how your frames are so low, i guess maybe its the fidelityfx

my buddy has the 980 Ti, I own the other 2 cards tested. most excellent. I thought I had fried my V 56. drug it out of the drawer the other dat and installed it behind a 3600. still works and boy howdy it isn't that much slower than my 5700XT! was running METRO 2033 benchmarks. all I can say is I was impressed.

Very nice 😊

I’ve had about 8 different versions of the 980 Ti - it will always remain my favorite card - if you could get it clocked to 1500mhz and 8ghz on the vram it basically matched a stock 1070 Ti which was only 10% behind a 1080

Looks like the 980ti vs 1070 situation has reversed compared to when the 1070 released. At launch the 1070 review from techpowerup shows the 980ti at 88% the performance of the 1070, in your benchmarks the 980ti is almost 10% faster.
Also it would be interesting to see how the 1660 Super/Ti would compare as they were within a couple of percent of the 1070 when they released. Since Maxwell/Pascal haven't aged that well in some more recent games it would be interesting to see how they compare, also the 1660 Super/Ti are pretty cheap on the used market right now.

Very interesting test.

Best gpu is rx 5700xt 150-200$ its 10-15FPS faster than Vega 64 and it supports SAM and RSR + it is RDNA so drivers are with console devision.

Just bought a 980ti super cheap £60

Plague Tale Requiem does not use UE4, it uses the Zouna Engine, in-house developed.

I still have a 980 Ti and with upscaling like FRS this card got a second life
100+ FPS on RD2 on console settings
And all games that have the FSR option are very playable

Freesync works over HDMI. I played on an RX 480 on a 4K monitor

What's the OC on the 980 Ti?

I will be honest. I still run inno3D liquid cooled 980ti. I was going to upgrade this year and due to unreasonable GPU prices, decided to buy a steam deck instead.
Now I use gtx980ti to stream at 1280x800 to steam deck at ultra settings and the experience is just amazing. I can use the deck anywhere around the house getting 60 FPS all the time and I love it.
Rarely sit at the pc now and I love the liberty that the deck offers. I am still going to buy a new GPU soon, just not this year as this year is for the deck! Next year I will migrate from team green to team red, due to price Vs quality and compatibility.

Notice that the new RTX 4070 Ti has a 192-bit mem bus...

Don't know about Vega, but AMD is still updating RX 500 class GPUs, which are as old as the Vega cards. Besides, until very recently all AMD APUs had Vega GPUs as well.

thanks for benchmarking that many games. i found this video interesting. keep up the good work

"Memory bus size matters." Wouldn't be able to tell that from how AMD and Nvidia are axing bus width across most of the board in their current generation vs previous one for the same branding tier while jacking up prices.

Got a Vega 56 since 2017 - Ive played the Diablo 4 Beta on 1440p with high presets. had around 60-70 fps in average. Pretty decent imo. But i will upgrade to the 7900 XT soon caus its not a great exp. to play FPS Games or Cyberpunk 2077 on 1080p. I have massive problems in Battlefield 2042 and Cyberpunk 2077 on lowest settings. The lows are rly not great. Well for 6 years it was rly worth it. I hope the 7900 XT will last a couple of years for 1440p gaming. The 4070 Ti was an option for me but since i wanna keep my GPUs for a long time ill go with the 7900 xt caus of the memory.

good salvage coverage. mb

You can enable sam with a registry change on the vega 56 and it'll help it out on some titles.

ive got a i7 7700 gtx 1070, ive been leaning to upgrade to 13600k or 13500 cpu for work video rendering and gaming, my questuion is it enough to get significant boost in frames as well? or should i upgrade gpu as well?

Yup. Still running my Vega64. Rebar enabled via reg hack. Undervolt for better 1% lows.

Plays most games at 1440p with a high/medium settings mix.

Getting me through the GPUpocalypse.

Rtx 4080 and rx 7900 xtx is already out, why would anyone still use 980ti and vega gpu's

Been rocking my Vega 64 for years now and am still surprised how capable it's been with a few graphics tweaks. That being said I think it's finally time to find it's replacement 😢 waiting on that rx 7800 to drop

Meanwhile still rocking my GTX 960 2G😅

1070 was $379 at launch (without mining crisis) , what can you buy with 379 now?

Just upgraded from Vega 56 to 7900 XTX, which was necessary because I'm going to 4K. Other than that, I might've stayed with Vega another year or two.

Yes. Upgrade required.

So many 10 series gamers that refused to get a 20 series, couldn't find a 30 series and are now priced out of a 40 series.....oof.

I'm glad I picked a 12 gb card. 10 gb 3080 and 8 gb 3070 ti will age like milk (that vram is already starting to stink a little)

A Plague Tale Requiem is not a UE4 engine game, but an Asobo Studio in house Zouna engine. Many think that it is on UE4 because the game looks great and quite similar to games on the UE4 engine.

I got a 3080 and need to upgrade.

my 1070 can run lots of games at 4K at high settings 60fps, I'm surprised how far I can push it

Memory Bus Master! What about the rx390x with 512bit bus ? And 8GB gddr5.

Textures, rarely if ever make any difference on FPS assuming you have enough Vram.

I feeling the need to upgrade from my 1070. I do not play many new AAA games, but its starting to get hard to run FFXIV in 1440p. Im looking to get something in the $300ish price point, but there is nothing there that is worth it...

From what I have heard AMD used the same HBM2 memory on vega 56 and 64 but they underclocked it on vega 56 to have a slower and cheaper card to sell. So basically putting the same mV and MHz on the ram of a vega 56 should give it a boost, and it is not really overclocking, more unlocking the potential within the HBM2 specs.

980 TI is great, but the lack of VRR is a killer

I know the radeon 780M might perform like r9 290 but i do wish AMD reconsider their strategy for ryzen 8000 strixpoint
We need this level of performance for Mega APU in mobile/deskmini space
Imagine games on 25-45w apu perform like Vega56 even without RSR
With upscaling it's ez for 1080p gaming

Mw2 hv fsr2.1 now
Great for esports testing the clarity is better now

other than vram... my 980ti is doing fine... i'm no high fps 4k ultra settings wacko... so it will probably last me the whole decade...

I'm surprised to see the 980Ti doing so well as TPU has it over 10% slower than the 1070 and Vega 56 at 1080p.

Ngreedia hasn't been optimizing pascal on newer games for a while.
