Check if your system can support these GPUs.
Hello. I have an older system and am searching for a new GPU. I'm currently using a very outdated one to achieve the display. My goals are video editing and some gaming. I'm using a 1080p monitor. I've found the Sapphire RX 9070 Nitro+ and an MSI RTX 5060 Ti 16GB Gaming OC at the same price. Which would be more suitable? Can my system support these GPUs?
System specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VII Hero
RAM: G-Skill Trident Z Royal 32GB (16GBx2) DDR4 3600MHz CL14
SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 1TB
PSU: Seasonic Focus Plus 750 Gold 750W 80+ Gold
Case: Corsair 4000D
GPU: ASUS HD 3650 Silent 512MB DDR2
The 9070 is quite comparable to the 5070, making it the top choice overall. Ray Tracing looks better on the 5060Ti, but in reality both cards will struggle significantly with it turned on in new games, so it doesn't really matter. You might want to think about upgrading to a 1440p monitor and possibly getting a new or refurbished 5700X3D if you're willing to spend.
