Even 4070 Ti is ~25% faster than vanilla 4070. 4080 Super is like 50% faster than 4070. Plus, it offers +4GB of VRAM. It is a very decent upgrade IMO. Taking into account the fact that 5080 will cost at least 20% more than 4080 Super, I'd say 4070->4080S is a fine upgrade.

Enjoy your massive GPU upgrade with the 4080. Having the dual encoders will be beneficial especially live streaming etc and the extra vram is mo, an essential thing these days for modern game titles in UE5 and with frame generation being needed in some titles in early access it’s a very good option to get a vg GPU. Even though the RTX 50-series are due shortly, early details are advising they will be more expensive than the 40-series and not really much more performative in games.

[@xTypeNameHerex]

sorry to tell you mate, but uh. the box is the main difference. there isnt a meaningful upgrade from the 4070 to a 4080 s. at that price point you should have gotten the 7900xtx which is on the 4090 level.

nah, adapter is fine, i know youve probably heard about the recepticals burning/melting on new GPU's and thats probably what prompted you to say this, but the adapter is fine, recepticals melting was a user issue where people who didnt know how to install a GPU plugged in the cable wrong and so the pins were only contacting a little bit, creating high current and heating up the pins.

Congrats! It's a small world, actually. About a month ago I bought a prebuilt with an RTX 4060, but a few days ago I decided that area needed improvement, especially since I game at 1440p. So a couple days ago I ordered an RTX 4070, and I was so anxious to get it before I go back to work on Thursday that I paid for overnight shipping lol. I installed it today, and so far it works fine, but it's funny how even if you have experience working with PCs, it never ceases to be a learning experience. I plugged it into the PCI Express slot and screwed in the bracket, then I noticed I forgot to peel the plastic off the backplate. Then when I was on the manufacturer's website registering it for warranty, it asked not only for the serial number, which was on the box, but also a three-digit code -- and where was that code? On the card, next to the serial number. Instead of opening up the case and disconnecting everything, I just shined a flashlight into the side panel, and luckily I was able to see the code and jot it down. Anyway, I sure am happy with the extra performance this has given me, and the 12 GB of VRAM versus 8 GB on the 4060 is nice.

By any means i dont want to be rude but for the future i highly reccomend a clean driver installation, once you change a gpu, or when you try a driver update. DDU is a great tool for that and maybe at this point the custom installation option inside nvidia installer for performing a clean install. Also applying a psu cable that may not be completely compatible to your psu is actually one of the most dangerous things someone can do to the pc. i dont know what kind of cpu you are using but this cooler in this case may steal all the airlfow, atleast your gpu has dedicated fans wich is a smart move.

Not much difference between a 4070 non super as he had and a 4080 super. 66,66% at 4K more FPS on a 4080 super compared to a 4070. Test with 25 games done and that is the average. What are you expecting from the 5080? Double the 4090? It will probably get close to a 4090 maybe a little faster or slower. MSRP is most likely going to be 1300€. So if he paid a 1000€ for this gpu and the 4090 is about 25% faster at 4k 24% faster at 4K and 12% at 1080p and 18% at 1440p then the deal is a good solid one. I have the same gpu bought it almost 1 year ago at launch. If he paid more then 1K$ then it can be a bad deal.

[@Caimcos]

ALWAYS turn off power when changing hardware. Its very important. You might easily destroy your components if not powered off. Besides, on the right side of your Mainboard, right under the RAM, theres a button to release the GPU from the PCIE Bracket. That was made for builds with big air coolers like in yours. The red LED on the GPU Power Connector is there to show you that it receives power and is a good sign. However, its only supposed to light up when you PC is in STAND BY mode. That other guy in the comments that told you to get an AIO Cooler has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. Your Noctua Air cooler is one of the most efficient CPU coolers on the market. An AIO will have no benefits at all compared to your current cooler. The only real difference of an AIO is how it looks. Trust me, you can do researching on that if you dont believe it. If youre ok with that, sure, go for an AIO. I am using one myself since im okay with the cooling power. But still, it will definitely not lower your CPU temperatures. Everyone starts as a noob in the PC enthusiast and DIY community. We all do mistakes and thats ok. I hope you will have lots of fun with that new 4080. Cheers

[@SandRock9984]

Yea definitely turned off and flipped the swithch in the back before i made any updates.

Now i know, thank you!!

[@Caimcos]

@@SandRock9984If the 3 case fans on the right side are the same model as the others, then they are blowing the air out. This would mean your CPU cooler barely gets any fresh air and that would also explain the hot temps. So if thats true you should flip those 3 fans. Regarding the temps problem, i advise you to do the following changes in BIOS Firmware settings: Go to Advanced Mode in Bios (F7) -> Ai Tweaker -> Precision Boost Overdrive -> Precision Boost overdrive -> set to AMD Eco mode -> and then 1 lane lower, theres another option called AMD eco mode too and set it to 105w of power Then, about 3 lanes lower theres a setting for curve optimizer. Set to all cores, set Sign to negative and set the magnitude to 15. These settings will lower your CPU performance by approximately 10-20% but since you have such a powerful GPU it isnt gonna be a very impactful loss of FPS. I did all of these settings on my old ryzen 7700X because i hat very high temps too and the loss of performance didnt affect my gaming experience much. It lowered the temps by over 15 degrees Celcius. Luckily my new 9800X3D runs much cooler. If youre really going for an AIO in the future then dont use a radiator smaller than 360mm. When you’re done, click exit, save changes and reset. This should definitely lower the temps. If not, im pretty sure the CPU cooler isnt installed properly. Also, the corners of the ryzen chip dont really matter that much. Most of the heat is distributed in the middle. So make sure to flip those fans and try these Bios settings. If you need more help let me know

[@SandRock9984]

@Caimcos those side fans were pre installed in the case and I actually tested it with a feather and it's blowing air inside the case. Also i made a stupid move on my noctua fans, i connected it to a low noise adapter which limited and lower the RPM of the fans which resulted in high temps. When I rem9ved it and directly h9oked it to the motherboard it's running n8ce now!

@ThorntonWillie for some weird reason after I replaced the GPU, some of the settings was reset on the mither board but yeah, I enabled the ram to run at 6000 mgz. Even my fan curves were reset. But all is good.

[@shad0wrider]

I been building my own pc for over 5 years or more, sometime rushing you make a common sense mistakes, seeing that there is 3 plugs for the power adapter which then you given you the notion that you need to hook up 3 power plugs to it, but you said your new to this is ok, going to assume you either bougtht a prebuild custom pc from a store or online or you built it from scratched, if you bought the power supply that is module you should of had an extra cable for the other power cable, the wrong thing with custom builts from a store or a online store, is some won't give you all the parts that came with a power supply, well glad you got it working and I also have the same card as you, very good card enjoy,

[@SandRock9984]

@shad0wrider the corsair PSU only came with 2x PCIe cables 😑 and to confirm it said it on the box also. But yes, I built this PC from scratch, if you want, you can watch my other video which I record me building it 🙂

[@veshad]

@SandRock9984 have a friend who knows about pc's take a look and mabe reseat the pci-e power cables into the 12VHPWR PSU Cable connector, it doesn't seem from the video they were properly inserted into the adapter {if not properly inserted they can get hot an melt the connector on the card or maybe cause a fire}. sidenote - anytime you are working on your pc always turn off the power supply, if you remove components with it powered on you can short out components and cause serious damage.

[@SandRock9984]

Yea on the 12:07 mark of the video, i showed and explained why it didint work. After making the appropriate adjustments it is now working! Thanks

you only plugged 2 8 pin plugs in and you should have 3 x 8 pin plugs just watching you do this explains why there is a lot off 4080 and 4090 GPU's that have plugs malleted if i was you i would pay someone to fix it for you

4070 is a ripoff. It ought to be 4060 ti, but they rebranded it for extra $$$.

[@karlos1060]

Just for the people that are clueless here and i see more posts claiming that the 4070 is close to 4080 super performance like 10% difference you people could not be more away from the truth. 25 games average FPS difference: 4080 super at 1080P 44,9% faster, 1440P 56,25% faster and at 4K 66,66% faster then the 4070!! 4080super compared to 4090 at 1080p 4090 12% faster, at 1440P 18% and at 4K 24% faster on average! So do your homework before telling BS.

[@Ryuuken24]

How were you not seeing that thing sag at the back? It takes a few days of gaming to crack the pcb at the back. Get a piece of wood as support, fuck those 10 dollars fans, and buy a support for the card. I know someone that is still waiting after sending the card for RMA, rofl.

[@Reason4Termination]

Bro 5080 / 5090 is just around the corner that is just sad :(

[@WebbTech1]

I don't think so. The 50 series, while the specs are "next generation" doesn't necessarily mean your current games are going to look or play any better, unless you're coming from something like a 10 or 20 series Nvidia card! Also, a 5090 will be at least $2300 USD, and a 5080 around $1600-$1800 USD. NOT worth it. Those cards are for other uses other than gaming, they're for AI production and rendering, other types of professional functions.

[@sgtcaco]

Exactly, there want be any difference at all.

[@Reason4Termination]

@@WebbTech1 ​ I mean, regardless if you will get 50 series or not, this 4080 will be cheaper by then. Going to a 4080 from a 4070 feels more like a sidegrade at that point. Leaked benchmarks shows 5080 FASTER than a 4090 as well. That is like buying a smartphone, a week before the next gen smartphone comes out.. Would anyone do that?

[@WebbTech1]

@@Reason4Termination I'm not spending $2300 for a 5090 just to say I have the "latest and greatest" when personally my current 4080 at 1440p maxed settings (for gaming) is everything I need to experience. Of course the 5090 is designed to be faster than the 4090....and...like I said, THAT is important depedning on what one intends to do with it. I have no friends I need to impress with a 2k plus 5090! Also, 4080 or 4090 prices are not going to immediately plummet. I've been doing and seeing this for a long time, brotha!

[@Reason4Termination]

@@WebbTech1 And I have been here a long time as well. Back when nvidia drivers were called detonator, unlocking coolbits through registry, and even further back when there was software rendering. And one should watch when the next gen arrives before planning any purchase. HIs 4070 could keep up until the next 50 series arrived.. and it was just a few days worth of wait. It was obvious he was not keeping up to date with the GPU news. Hence, the remark. It is not about "impressing people", where did I mention that? If that is the first thing that comes in to your mind, then you should get your priorities straight my friend
