No DLSS3
Much higher TDP
I'd go with the 4070 unless you get a good deal on the 3080ti (£600ish)
You are basically getting a 3080 and a strong CPU under £1k, which would have been double that a year ago...
AWD - it have got some nice ones chaps.
This 5600X-5800X3D that kick starts under the A520 platform.
With b series and gold PSU and higher nvmes

That kick starts at 1200 for a 13400F system.
At 1300 kick starts there and 7600x ddr5 system below

Palicomp added +£150 4070 over all there 3070 deals.
So that be in the hellfire, the vortex and there other system.
Also added it to their 3060 that price match this system we speak on,
Usual two builders going head to head, more details tonight when I'm back.
Shame none of the big guys actual want to support consumer friendly prices.
Ebuyer 1200 for a 11400f 4070,
Ccl at 1380 for a montect 5600 4070 (edited)

they ignored the advice. the 3070 is a dead useless card for AAA titles
the AMD variant that came with 16 GB ram has aged like fine wine
here we are again- the 4070 (which is a 4060 ti at best)
with 12 GB ram- the PS5 has 16 gb ram, same as the xbox- and concoles are more efficient due to the nature of console gaming (targeting a single target)
the 4070 is a piece of shhh
if enough people dont buy it- they will be forced to release the same card with 16 GB ram and that will future proof you for at least 5 years
there are (idiots) apple owners, who say absolute drive like 8gb is enough
The 4070 is a great card, super efficient with 3080 performance topped with DLSS3. The only issue is the price, however since we have seen 18% inflation over the past 3 years and a massive increase in material and production costs is it that surprising.
Problem is everyone expected another big leap like 20 to 30 series but it doesn't always go that way.
May want to consider upgrading the CPU to a 5800X3D and go to 32 gigs of ram though for longevity. (edited)
We got a couple of builds in these cases through Costco online before Christmas (although ordered within their Christmas delivery window, they turned up after Christmas thanks to courier incompetence.)
One of the fans has failed already. (TBF they're all rubbish quality, I doubt it'll be the last one to go.)
I don't have the energy to deal with RMAing the fan if I can just buy a new one for a fiver. We already had to RMA the 550W trash-tier PSU of the other machine. It's worth paying money for me NOT to deal with another RMA on this one.
I'd rather not have to buy a whole other £55 case to get a fan though.
DLSS will help in supported titles but RT hammers Vram usage
I'd consider 7900XT if they're on sale or even the 6950XT, 4080 is pretty good at 4K but requires a budget bump
Could someone advise if this is better or worse please. Thanks
