RTX 5070 TI for 4k 85" TV
RTX 5070 TI for 4k 85" TV
I have been considering for a while the idea of having a decent machine at my living room, I have a 85" Samsung Q70A 120hz (2023).
The idea was to wait for the Steam Machine, but given the rise in ram prices, I think it will either be delayed or cost more than what I can get given the resolution I would be playing in.
So here is the plan for now: a AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D alongside the RTX 5070 Ti, which I researched to be enough for this config + a few years given DLSS.
Does it make sense? I started off with a smaller budget, and this is pretty much as far as I want to go for this, but I'm open for different opinions as I could get some parts now and save up money for something better later on.
Everything else on this build:
- 2x Kingston Fury Beast 16GB 6000mhz CL 36 (can't find CL30);
- 850W MSI MAG A850GL, 80 Plus Gold, Modular;
- MSI B650M Gaming;
- Kc3000 1024gb 1tb M.2 2280 Pcie 4.0 Nvme Gen 4x;
- Lian Li A3;
Consider the AMD 9070xt; FSR 4 has been significantly enhanced. The 9070xt should operate within 5-6% of the 9070xt version. Based on location, it could offer substantial savings. For instance, in the US, a 9070xt might be available at $580, while the cheapest 5070ti is priced at $729.
It all comes down to the game. Cyberpunk setups with ray tracing activated can still strain even the biggest gaming systems. Make sure your TV supports a gaming mode. Many displays offer enhancements similar to DLSS in a card, but these can introduce lag noticeable in gameplay.
I looked at the 9070xt, but the price gap in Brazil wasn’t huge. At first, I planned the RTX 5070 Ti WINDFORCE SFF, thinking it would be more compact and fit the Lian Li A3, which also made me doubt the 5080 since it might not fit. Regarding prices, I’m leaning toward spending more and choosing the 5080 to stay ahead of future upgrades, even though my budget is tight.
Yes, you're referring to enabling gaming mode and steering clear of other DLSS features on the TV.
You definitely don't want the tv to do anything other than transmit the signal. The tv does a good job of enhancing a movie's clarity, but without interaction with the video, you won't notice the small delays it creates.
