With the end of the mining boom and the emergence of new cards, the parties finally ushered in a difficult victory.
Today, configurations with 13600 CPU and D5 memory have become mainstream. If you are not poor in money, then 4070 or more is the best choice to match this god U.
Compared with the 4070TI and AMD 7900XTX of N card, how to choose?
Without further ado, let's start with a wave of parameter comparisons.
- The architecture is different, the 4070ti is based on the ampere architecture and the 7900xtx is based on the RDNA 3 architecture.
- The number of cores varies, with the 4070ti having 10240 CUDA cores and the 7900xtx having 6144 RDNA 3 cores.
- Ray tracing performance varies, with the 4070ti having 80 RT cores and the 7900xtx having 96 ray accelerators.
- AI performance is different, the 4070ti has 320 tensor cores, and the 7900xtx does not have a dedicated AI accelerator.
- Memory capacity and type vary, the 4070ti has 12GB of GDDR6X memory, and the 7900xtx has 24GB of GDDR6 memory.
- Memory width and bandwidth vary, with 192 bits for 4070Ti and 384 bits for 7900XTX. However, the memory frequency of the 4070ti is higher, so the bandwidth is also higher.
- Unlimited cache is different, the 4070ti does not have unlimited cache, and the 7900xtx has 96MB of unlimited cache.
- Power consumption and size vary, with a typical board power of 320W for the 4070ti and 355W for the 7900xtx. The 4070Ti has a public size of 304mm × 3 slots, and the 7900XTX has a public size of 287mm × 2.5 slots.
Overall, both the 4070ti and 7900xtx are high-end 4K gaming graphics cards, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages:
The 4070ti is more powerful in ray tracing and AI, and has a higher memory bandwidth. But the 7900xtx performs better with traditional rasterization and high-resolution gaming.
Both graphics cards are good options. You can decide according to your specific needs and budget.
If you want to play 4K games, the 7900xtx might be a little better.
If you want to play light tracing or do some AI-related work, the 4070ti might be better.
Regarding the current price fluctuations in the graphics card market, when is the best time to start?
According to online information, the current price of graphics cards has gradually decreased from last year's high, but there is still a certain premium.
Some experts believe that with the merger of Ethereum, the decline in mining revenue, the increase in GPU chip production capacity, the price reduction strategy of graphics card brands and other factors, there is still more room for price reduction in graphics card prices.
Therefore, if it is not urgent to buy a graphics card, you can wait for a while and observe the changes in the market, maybe you can buy a cheaper graphics card.
Combined with the factors of international turmoil, inflation and deepening economic crisis, then predict whether the price of graphics cards will rise or fall?
Many friends are worried that the front foot of the graphics card that has been waiting for a long time has just been bought, and the price of the back foot will fall.
As far as price prediction is concerned, this is a very complex issue, involving a lot of economic theory and practice.
First of all, inflation refers to the continuous rise of the overall price level, which will cause currency depreciation and purchasing power decline.
As a commodity, graphics cards are also affected by inflation, but the specific performance depends on a variety of factors, such as etc.
In general, if inflation leads to the graphics card, then the price of the graphics card may rise; If inflation leads to the graphics card, then the price of the graphics card may fall.
Therefore, if you are as worried as me about reducing the price when you buy it, I still recommend that you wait for the 40 series to be listed, such as around 618 before deciding whether to start.
Of course, if you don't feel the need to wait for two months for a few hundred dollars, you can start now, for the following reasons:
From March 8, the price of graphics cards can clearly feel unbearable.
After all, after 3 years of the epidemic, everyone's desire to consume has generally decreased, and the price of goods is determined by market demand, coupled with today's massive mining cards, the price of graphics cards is bound to decline. But after all, there are 4070 and below graphics cards blocking there, so the price of 4070ti will not plummet.
Therefore, to sum up, wait for the party to make a choice directly and confidently after the release of 4070.
And the trip down the mountain that has been waiting for so long is no longer a dream~
