Both are on sale at Costco, at the moment.

Or

I got a rig with a i9-14900 with a 4070ti Super, but with local brownouts I was hoping either one will cover it. Hoping to go with a cheaper option, but if the group consensus is the more expensive option Iโ€™ll go for it. Thanks for the help! ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž

I would say yes. I have never used a pure sinewave UPS outside of a data center situation and all of those are on-line units as opposed to line-interactive anyway. I have personally never seen an issue with stepped sine UPS units on typical pro/consumer workloads.

lots of small and mid sized shoestring budget deployments make use of "economical" (but name brand) UPS units on legit sensitive equipment without fuss.

edit to add: of course, if your mains supply is absolute garbage, then a better quality can make a difference. if utility is clean and the UPS will just be doing ocassional brown/black out duty, then I would not spend more on a sinewave UPS.

It will mainly be brownout/blackout duty, thanks for responding. ๐Ÿ™
