Selecting a mid-range GPU to replace my 2080ti

Hi I have both Topaz Ai and Topaz Video but that aside I have an RTX 2080ti (actually I have two of them but only use one…perhaps that second one gathering dust should go into my pc) and looking to improve performance. Is there a thread here somewhere that discusses the relative benefits of AMD vs NVIDIA and what kind of gains one can get generationally? For example I can get a relatively cheap RTX 5070 but could spend that same money on a used 3090 or even a 4080 for example. I do not have the budget to stretch to the world of the 5080 onwards for sure, so looking to maximise Topaz performance around the $1,000 mark. I do not play any games at all (sadly).

As I look more closely I can stretch to a new RTX 5070ti or a used 4080 Super. And it seems maybe to 5th generation will become better optimised down the road, if not so at the moment. The whole world of AMD of course I cannot figure out related to Topaz. I could buy TWO refurb RX7900 XTX cards for one RTX 5070ti

A used 4070 Ti Super or 4080 Super-Duper. :wink:

The 50-series has issues that are still unresolved.

There are no issues for me with 5070Ti and 5080.

Both cards are great for Topaz. If you’re on a tight budget, get 5070Ti.

If you are on an actually tight budged, get a used Ti Super-Duper… :stuck_out_tongue:
