It'll just be a fantastic bonus that I can run basically anything at 1440p as well. I'm gonna have to stare at it in the cart another hour.

But if you have a compelling reason for wanting a 4070 such as a short case that won't fit those longer cards or you have a weak power supply and like the idea of a single 8 pin plug card and not having to upgrade your PSU then the 4070 becomes compelling.
I'm in a situation where I would prefer a shorter card with a lower PSU requirement, but I want to see what AMD's 7700 XT and 7800 XT offerings look like first as I'm guessing they won't be crippled and headed for early obsolescence with only 12 GB of vRAM. nVidia really screwed up by not giving the 4070's 16 GB of RAM, which seems criminal for an $800 card like the 4070 TI.
Right now Microcenter is offering $100 Steam giftcard with 4070's. I would have bit if they had not sold out of the Asus Dual Fan OC.

- Install the Capital One Shopping browser plug in and link up your Capital One Venture X card or other eligible card.
- Ensure all contact info for your card and Capital One Shopping goes to an email you monitor and won't get filtered for spam
- Ensure plugin is active and poke around on the newegg site. Put this in your cart and click through to purchase even entering your card info, but do not place the order, just stop at the final step
- If you're lucky, you'll get an email with a "special offer" anywhere from 30 min to 24 hours later. You need to click through the email link and it'll up the rewards from the standard for newegg to the email offer rate.
- Make your purchase.
This works for almost any retailer that the shopping rewards works for. I've had it work for faucets in my cart from Home Depot and other large ticket items from Home Depot and Lowes.All in all, my 6800XT was less than $400 before tax. Some got it for close to $300 with stacking the Affirm and Capital One rewards.
I have a 6950 XT running in the house on a 650w Corsair PSU without issue 🤷. I think more then 750w or 850w is getting into overkill range.

650w is pushing the power supply..not good to have it running near peak

Under full power overclocked stress test with a 7600x, total system power consumption is only 500w or less.
Gaming it's around 200-400. Whole system.
Idle is less then 30 whole system.
It's the same tdp as a 3080 and has better transients and is more efficient. You need a better psu for a 3080 then you do for a 6950 XT.
A nice 500w supply would work, but that would certainly be starting to push things tight.

please learn how electricity works before you blow up your psu
Most good power supplies are 90% efficient or more under most loads and can easily go over thier maximum load and just turn off when power usage goes too high.
It's never pulled more then 575w from the wall, which is only an 88% load and that's under synthetic stress testing with overclocks.
Gaming loads are a good bit less.
The 650w is fine and in a great range for efficiency. More then 750w would be wasteful and more then 850w would just be silly.
I play apex legends and I want to be able to play at consistent 240-360 at medium settings.
At the moment, I play everything on lowest settings, with textures and streaming budgets off and during key gameplay moments such as fights with other teams, I have FPS drops.
I would not be looking to upgrade again in the future for at least another 3-5 years.
This is my current specs. Thank you for any replies..
MOBO: Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WIFI)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700x, 8-core 3700mhz (16 logical)
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (MECH OC) 8GB
RAM: 32GB DDR4
KEY NOTE: I do plan on building out a new system for this card, but for now I will be using this one as a placeholder until I gather all necessary parts. Just wanted feedback for if t his card would be okay on this system until i build out a new pc for it and if the card is powerful enough for my needs.
