Looking to upgrade my trusty 1070Ti. I use my pc for RPGs (Borderlands, Hogwarts Legacy) , VR fps (Alyx, Arizona Sunshine) and VR simracing (F1 23).

Deciding between ASUS Dual 4070 (@ €600) or ASUS TUF 7800XT.

Benchmarks don’t really tell the whole story because they rarely include DLSS3, but the games I play don’t really support that anyway. TUF is a better cooler, but bulkier.

I can also just not buy anything and wait for the 4070 Super to come along.

Thoughts?

    If you’re planning to use Windows, Nvidia is probably the better choice because of the RTX and DLSS features.

    If you are based want Linux, AMD is the winner because the Nvidia driver has issues, some of its features don’t work, and Wayland compatibility is spotty.

    AMD also has FreeSync, and (in my experience) it has much wider support compared to its GSync competitor.
