The 4070 is a bit of a let down with only a paltry 12GB, I can see it hitting a VRAM wall later on... Also doesn't bode well for the mid-range chips like the 4060 which will come up even shorter most likely.
If cost is the issue, then perhaps using slower memory chips, but more of it... And bolstering that with even better caches is the approach to take.
| Mummelmann said: Guys; quick question as I'm sifting through the jungle of motherboards and compatibility issues. How long will the LGA 1700 remain relevant/viable for upgrade? I understand it's quite new, but I've heard that it might be short-lived, causing potential issues 4-5 years down the line if I wish to upgrade my CPU. I mostly want PCIe 5.0 support and DDR5, but that's not hard to find. I think perhaps AMD is a safer bet, with them usually keeping their sockets for longer (AM5 will more than likely be viable in 5 years time). |
The 7800X3D is the chip/platform to go for right now.
It will have longer platform longevity.
