Best graphics card for Bannerlord

[Black Magic Momma]

The developers suggest 1070 rtx but what's the difference between a 1070, 2070 and a 3070? Which one of these are better for the price slash more strongly recommended? Also, should I buy a processor? Is it necessary? If so which one? Thank you for your time, your info and your opinions.

P.S. Currently rockin with a 980ti with a proper power supply with no external processor.

a 980 ti is decent enough to run bannerlord if you have a good CPU.

i would wait for the 40XX series or newer before upgrading tbh

3070 is better ofc. but it depends on your budget, like i said i would wait a 980 ti can still handle a lot of games out there atm.

once you can't run games at low- medium settings anymore that's the time to upgrade

Never buy anything when they just got out. Buy the next latest card when the latest just got out. There will always be a "latest" GPU out there and it's futile, let alone expensive, to keep up with it.

i find the cpu to be much more important as it is my bottle neck.

gtx 980ti is already good enough for GPU, for best experience in bannerlord you need to focus on ram, cpu and also fast ssd.

You can use this website to compare graphics card performances with actual game testing https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2070-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1070/4029vs3609

I think the 2070 is going to be the most bang for your buck while the 3070 is obviously the best. I'm running a 2080rtx in my laptop and I can run any game I've tried max settings (also have an i9, 64gm of ram, and a 2tb ssd though)

It's a graphics card shortage at the moment so it may be tough to find them though, be careful buying used

What others have mentioned is right, don't use all your money on the graphics card if you have a poor cpu, limited ram, or no ssd

If you share your other specs and the budget you're looking to put into your pc we should be able to help more

Your parenthesis are breaking the link, which maight make it hard for non-tech savies to fingure out the real link, so you might want to remove those

i did very well with just a 1060 3gb on 1080p with ultra settings shadows on low
