Could use GPU buying advice (emphasis on VR performance)

[1Sascha]

My current GPU is an RTX 3070, driving my ageing Rift-S. But since upgrading my VR-set would definitely require a GPU-upgrade as well, I think I'll keep the Rift for now and start looking at a 40-series Geforce.

 

I have my eye on either the 4070 or 4070 Ti. Cheapest 4070 currently available over here is ~€600. Cheapest 4070 Ti is ~€800.

 

Looking at performance comparison, the 3070 to 4070 upgrade doesn't seem to make *too* much sense, but that's why I'm posting here.

 

Performance comparison according to Passmark:

 

 

.... and according to 3DMark's Orange Room VR Mark:

 

3070: 12014

 

4070: 14285 (~19% higher than the 3070)

 

4070 Ti: 15681 (30% higher than the 3070)

 

Of course, I would like to get away with spending a little less, especially since I could keep my current 550W PSU with the 4070, but would want to upgrade it for the 4070 Ti. My question is: Does the 4070 even make sense or should I just bite the bullet, save a bit more and go for the 4070 Ti (plus a new PSU)?

 

Anyone running either of those 40-cards in VR (preferably on a Rift-S, or another lower res VR-set)?

Hey, did you pull the trigger on this?  How did the 4070 work out of so?

@1Sascha Like DerShrike above, I am also curious how you made out with the upgrade.  Thank you.

I think you should go for a 4080 or better to make it worth it.
