Thx for the build, it seems good no problem. It's just at first i wanted to build this pc for 4k, that's why i was thinking about the 6950xt but it seems it will be not quite good enough to do that with both the 6950xt and the 4070 (maybe not the 4070ti but it's too expensive for me unfortunatly) So i think that if i want to upgrade in the futur, it's maybe better for me to have a real good cpu + ddr5 and other good part and changing only my gpu. I know it's not the best but as far as i can play in 1080p/1440 relatively easy, i think i'm good. In any scenario, i will not be able to play 4k so maybe i should not spend too much money on something who will not give me that.
Your logic is sound.
Get the platform, do the big GPU investment later. Its perfectly valid to look beyond the initial purchase. The rest of the topic is mostly TPU doing the TPU thing
I'm impressed you are skipping past all that honestly.
Another big bonus you get from 6700XT first with a godly platform, is that you get a very good idea of what performance means; in terms of CPU vs GPU performance; how it feels to have a GPU pegged at 100% utilization all the time, without ANY CPU latency dips, is a great starting point: its an optimal situation so from that base you'll know what's what if things don't perform as planned. On top of that, you have a GPU that can carry any game its gpu core can carry. Yes, there are odd titles you can push beyond 8GB on this performance level of cards and still have playable frames. Total War Warhammer 3 is a perfect example of that. Far Cry 6 @ 4k with RT is another. The future will only add more games to that list.
Basically you're avoiding all those mismatches in total system performance which is IMHO the perfect approach for a solid gaming experience. The GPU
core should be the bottleneck of any gaming system. Not its VRAM. Not the CPU. And then when you do upgrade the GPU later down the line, you'll have the 'WOW moment' again, because you'll
still pull out 100% utilization, but now with double FPS.
Additionally, you can still always opt to jump into RT later when it has actually gotten into a good place, because frankly, today... most implementations are simply not worth the hassle, nor the extra cost. You can still check it out though, so in that respect a 6700XT is again an ideal choice. You're not spending big on a feature you might not like after all, but you can still have a taste. This was my exact rationale before I jumped on a 7900XT... and having seen multiple games with (playable!) RT, I'm completely unimpressed. The performance hit is huge, but the improvement in visuals isn't really an improvement, more like a sidegrade versus a solid rasterized lighting and shadow implementation. Its
different. Its certainly not better, and definitely not always preferable in terms of playability (sunlight in Cyberpunk for example is a complete shitshow - whoever asked to have half the screen coated in 100% brightness orange?! Thanks for the realism and burning out my retinas CDPR... reflection is another such thing in the game that is so horribly overdone... cars don't drive around looking like mirrors...).
@dgianstefani you apparently missed the mod notice above? Or are you genuinely having fun?
