Amazon are selling them for the same price. Personally, I would buy from Amazon. They are less of a problem if you need to return it for any reason.

For that price 8GB of vram is a joke.

I'm not saying 8GB is useless - I have 8GB of vram currently (5700XT), and it's fine for most / all games with the right texture setting - but if I'm going to spend major $$$ for an upgrade I want more than 8. I'm watching a YT video right now about 8GB not being enough for the new RE4 w/ RTX enabled. 8GB of vram and more than $500? no way

[KENJI]

would agree on that. while the card is very potent 8gb is kind of a deal breaker nowadays if you wanna play on very high settings.

Any one can recommend a card then for 1440P gaming, with a ryzen 5800x3D and a b550

I will be using my xbox for most games, the PC is just for PC exclusives.

How much are you looking to spend?

Do you have a preference for AMD or nVidia (or otherwise is ray tracing important)?

Answering those will really help narrow down the best options.

Its just going to be for PC strategy games and total warhammer, Baldurs gate 3 and homeworld 3.

Ray tracing has never ever bothered me frankly, I dont think its worth it.

You're confusing amazon with Micky D loll
Unless over on the other side they hired all the McD employees

No theres been a few stories recently of people buying expensive electrical goods and when they open the box it has cat food or flour or something. amazon told people to film their boxes being opened.

I buy stuff almost once a week from them here in Canada and I never had any problems... as long as it's stocked and shipped by them. (something to watch for when you buy)

That still doesn't answer the most important question, which is what your budget/desired spending limit is.

It partially answers the second, but do you otherwise have a brand preference?

£600-£700

Not really, but I guess due to general chatter, I was looking at Nvidia because thats all I hear about?

That's exactly the problem, nVidia is the first and only company that pops to mind when peeps talk about GPU. AMD, as is now, has better value. For example, an RTX 3050 can be had for about the same price as a higher tier AMD card, the RX 6600 XT. The latter outperforms the RTX 3050 by a good margin
