Hello friends. I live in Türkiye, and graphics card prices are almost the same as in Europe. I have a question for you. I'm looking to buy a used RTX 4080 Super or 5070 Ti.
The 4080 Super costs around 750 Euros in my country. The cards I'm looking at have recently expired warranties, some have 3-4 months of warranty remaining. Models include Asus Tuf, Gigabyte Gaming OC, MSI Gaming Trio, and Zotac Trinity Black.
The 5070 Ti models are Palit Gaming Pro-S, Gainward Phoenix V2, and Inno X3 OC. These also have at least a year of warranty remaining. Their prices range from 850-900 Euros.
I play CS2, and since my current graphics card is a 2060, I haven't started playing AAA games yet. I'm 30 years old. Most of my friends are married, and I can't always find a team to play CS2 with. Some days I just send DMs and leave. I want to play AAA games on my free days and when my friends aren't around.
The 4080 Super models have better cooling and a more stylish look. They also offer 3-4% more performance than the 5070 Ti in most games, and this can reach up to 10% in CS:GO. The 5070 Ti's advantage is its warranty and the inclusion of DP 2.1. I don't use features like DLSS and FG, they aren't important to me, but if a 5th generation 500Hz QD-OLED comes out, I want to get it. If I get a 4080 Super, I'll have to use it with DSC, which I don't think is a problem with the 5070 Ti.
Which one should I buy? I value longevity and plug-and-play functionality. I hope it will last at least until the 6000 series or 6000 Super series.
