I went from 3700x to 5800x to catch a sale and one generation was not enough to justify it imho. I am considering 15th gen though with DDR5. Especially since I have gotten back into MMOs, which can really put a single-core to the test.
I gave up when I saw newer games either don’t work on my 5700XT or have zero official support and AyyMD have no track record of going that extra mile.
Installed World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King server-edition. Now I can enjoy that 120+ FPS on 1440p. Lul.
I will get a 5070 whenever they come out in 2026-7.
Damn. My 5700XT did Mirage fine on Medium/Low shadows. Now its basement quality.
I think a lot depends on whether or not AMD cares to compete at the 80/90 level or not. The rumor is they may not want to bother and stick with more cost efficient offerings.
They could go back to the RDNA1 approach and focus on getting the 8700XT and maybe an 8800 into prebuilts and then the money prints itself, like their contracts with Microsoft and Sony for the consoles.
You want the RBG stuff so my point may fall on deaf ears: I would cut the cooler costs substantially and get a 4080. The 4080 SUPER is supposedly coming out in a few months but that is a long while away possibly if you need it now.
If all you play are MMOs, the 4070ti should be good though. I think your current rig is actually officially support on WoW to this day, even if on the slower end
