This is it. If you want the best bang-for-your-buck high-end card in the current gen, this right here is the one to buy. Anything else is either inferior performance or grossly overpriced.
After running nVidia's swan song, the GTX 1080 Ti, from mid-2017 until November of 2023, it was time for an upgrade, and looking at the market there was (and still is) absolutely no WAY I was going to pay nVidia's absurd prices for the garbage they're trying to hock now. Almost an entire year to release a 4070 Ti with more than 12 GB of VRAM, when I was already running 11GB since 2017? For $800? Lose my number, nVidia.
Snarky complaints aside, I don't upgrade my card often so I needed something that would hold me for another several years, and boy howdy so far this has been it. I am once again running EVERYTHING at 60fps, in 4k, at max settings. No leaning on the FSR crutch; if I wanted an upscaling cheat I would just send it at 1080p to my TV and let it handle the rest. I used to not care much about VRAM, but in this day & age you really do need 12-16 minimum to keep your performance smooth at high quality settings, so having 20GB at my disposal makes this card feel pretty solidly future-proof.
Build quality is great, noise levels are great, temperatures are great, stability is great. I have literally not had a single issue with this card, other than one single game from 2009 (Burnout: Paradise) which I had to drop down to 1080p because the decade-old rendering engine would crash in 4k during certain camera sequences. Not much of a loss considering that game was made for the 1080p era anyway. Be advised, I did absolutely use DDU to make sure the install was as clean as possible; whether that's the reason the drivers have been so stable, or whether it's because AMD's drivers just work fine nowadays, I can't honestly say. Personal favorite feature: being able to toggle EyeFinity on and off with the click of a single button, to get that immersive 5760x1080 triple-monitor wraparound for games like War Thunder. Let me tell you, doing the same thing in nVidia Surround was a MAJOR pain.
As previously mentioned, I got this card in early November 2023. It's now early May 2024, and I still have zero problems and zero regrets. I cannot recommend it enough; this IS the card you want, if you're looking for high-end performance at a reasonable price. Happy gaming.
