New rtx 5070

[Sacwarrior]

I’m curious if my i9 10850k z490I aorus ultra will support the new rtx 5070?

 

[N/A]

It is backwards compatible and reduces the speed on the fly as the encoding remains the same 128b/130b. This only affects the PCIe slot bandwidth of 15.754 GB/s instead of the full speed of 63.015 GB/s. This does not affect real world performance much.

Idk what kind of GPU you have right now, but given how much x70 GPUs have increased over the years since Pascal (GTX 10), the performance bumps have not been crazy...
For example the GTX 1070 released in 2016 and the RTX 4070 SUPER released in 2024 and it only went up about 3x in 8 years lol. The 10850K is a CPU from 2020 so a 5070 shouldn't be too bottlenecked imo, and even less with MFG since the frames will be added by the GPU anyway...

Can you clarify? I am not a techno geek

I have a rtx 3090 gpu

Cool thank you

You're forgetting dlss and frame generation... Those are huge boosts too.

Then it's nonsensical to get a 5070, unless you REALLY want more energy efficiency, AI performance (questionable because you got 24 GB and 5070 only sports 12), and frame generation. Anything else will run at least similarly on 3090.

Want a real upgrade, look at 4090/5090. Even 5080 is questionable to buy. Like @N/A said, there's no compatibility issues, new GPUs will run just fine on your platform. Slower than with recent top tier CPUs but not that bad.

 

[Sacwarrior]

The only reason I’m looking to buy a new gpu is I am only getting 28fps in 2k in msfs2020 now. And I’m not running vatsim or ai traffic but if I fly into say kjfk on a clear day then frames drop to 15fps with just me. I’ve kept updating my drivers and cleaning my shaders but with my rtx3090 i9 10850 z490 mobo I’m not getting respectable frame rates

 

[Macro Device]

Hmmmmmm, nope, new GPU won't help.

5070 isn't much different from 4070 Ti. Gonna be slightly slower.
3090 is a little slower than 3090 Ti.

Your problem is somewhere else. More precisely: GPU is underutilised. Seems M$ didn't even try making this game run reasonably well on existing hardware.

3090 is still a strong card. I wouldnt jump yet.

The GPU benchmarks hierarchy 2025: Ten years of graphics card hardware tested and ranked

We've run hundreds of GPU benchmarks on Nvidia, AMD, and Intel graphics cards and ranked them in our comprehensive hierarchy, with over 80 GPUs tested.

www.tomshardware.com

look at the 1440ultra and 4k percentage to see the 4070 and 3090. I doubt the 5070 will be such a huge jump that it will far exceed the 3090.

dont believe the "5070 is as strong as 4090" its not nutella with a bow. its straight up poop and lies. dont fall for the sales hype. its not true. maybe in a cherry picked benchmark.

3090 is still a great card.

isn't it just better to tell the OP to wait. Your opinion based facts will just misleading them

Upgrade your platform not your GPU.

Sorry what? I just told them their GPU is not the problem.

you already know how a unreleased card will perform, how?

[Macro Device]

1. No secret NV are focusing in AI more than in anything else.
2. Also no secret NV are in no rush to adjust their architecture for gaming.
3. Recent RTX 5090 performance leaks show it crystal clear that it's no more than 40% better than 4090 in gaming.
4. CUDA core count difference is almost exactly that.
5. 5070 has a lot less CUDA cores than 4070 Ti does.
6. Magic doesn't exist.
7. No one promised impressive core clocks.
8. ??????????
9. 5070 isn't gonna be noticeably better than 4070 non-Super in gaming (without frame generation).
10. ????????????
11. OP's issues with this game are not caused by their GPU, it's a game so poorly optimised it can't utilise all 20 threads of 10850K properly so it stutters like crazy on the CPU side and the only workaround is to buy a faster CPU. Not a faster GPU.

 

[freeagent]

I am waiting to see what these 50 series can do without all the trickery. Gotta see what they are like in reviewers hands.

Look at Far Cry 6 performance increase RTX 4070 vs RTX 5070 it's something like ~ 30-35% boost and without raytracing who knows maybe it's even worse than that. It's cherry picked result (probably)

My current opinion nvidia set lower prices because raster performance improvement will be small. I'm not saying that RTX 5070 will not be as fast as RTX 4070 Ti 12GB because on paper it should. Only 21-23% performance difference between RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 ti 12GB which is small amount for gpu.

 

[AusWolf]

Yes, it will support it, but don't jump on a 5070 just yet. There are still no performance data available, but I'm guessing that it won't be faster than your 3090.

So if I bought a

Intel Core i9-14900K - Core i9 14th Gen 24-Core (8P+16E) LGA 1700 125W Intel UHD Graphics 770 or a​

Intel Core i9-12900K - Core i9 12th Gen Alder Lake 16-Core (8P+8E) 3.2 GHz LGA 1700 125W Intel UHD, would these be better and any recommendations on which one if not. I’m working with msfs2020 for now until pmdg works out their planes for fs24 then I plan on switching over. All with the hopes that my rig is up to the task and runs with no problems​

 

[Toothless]

14900k is obviously better. Techpowerup has reviews for these things too.

 

[OolongGoat]

Upgrade your platform not your GPU.

I second this. A platform upgrade would do wonders. If you are open to it, I’d look at the 16-core AMD options too.

Do not buy LGA 1700 unless you can get a 13900/14900K(S) for cheap. It's a dead end platform, you should buy either Ryzen 7000/9000 series processor or if sticking to Intel, the new Core Ultra processor on LGA 1851 instead (Core Ultra 7 265K or 9 285K). They are the current generation "15th Gen" processor.

If you are going to play Flight Simulator, you will probably want to buy a Ryzen 7 9800X3D (currently hard to get, don't overpay for it) or 7800X3D processor. It reacts massively to AMD's 3D cache technology. 7800X3D is probably the wisest pick of the bunch right now.

64GB RAM or more and internet connection with consistent 100 Mbps or more, CPU with 12 cores or more.

why not ? it'll run on anything that supports pci-e and windows 10. personally, I'd avoid buying new 12GB cards in 2025, unless you play at 1080p.
Tbh, 10850K+3090 is still a very fast gaming setup, I have a 10700f (locked) and it still kicks ass in new games. locking 120fps is possible more often than not, if the gpu allows of course. 7800x3d and 14900k (or the like) are primarily designed to drive 240+ Hz displays.

It has high RAM and bandwidth requirements because it basically streams world data in real time from the Microsoft cloud. It can use even more memory and more bandwidth than this. 8C X3D still heavily preferred for this sim, afaik the extra cores aren't necessary. Chips like 7900X3D or upcoming 9900X3D with 6+63D topology are not gonna measure up (AMD should really just have discontinued this)
