Hello everyone,
I'm currently using an RTX 5070 Ti SFF card that's capped at a 300W power limit. My question is: if I upgrade to a 4K monitor, would it be worth replacing it with an RTX 5080 that has a higher power limit?
The reason I'm asking is that I've read SFF cards generally have lower thermal and power headroom, which can slightly affect performance compared to larger models. However, my card has never shown temperatures higher than the values attached in the image below, and it has been performing well for my needs.
I don't have extensive knowledge about GPUs, so I'd really appreciate some advice on whether an upgrade would be worthwhile for 4K gaming, or if my current card should still be more than capable.
My system:
- GPU: Inno3D X3 OC RTX 5070 Ti SFF
- CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- RAM: 32GB (2×16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
- Storage: 4TB NVMe Gen4 SSD
