1080p Gaming PC

[Arvaos]

What is an excellent build with modern components to play games at 1080p and 144Hz? Is it possible to build a gaming PC with the same budget as the XSX but at the same power? Cheers

He wants to play games at 1080p 144fps. Ray tracing is out of the equation except for things like maybe RT shadows

What card do you recommend? I have £480 in vouchers at CeX and the 6700XT is only £300.

What about a £500 graphics card and what CPU to pair it with?

Or RTX 4070, RTX 4070 Super if you want Nvidia card.

What about 3080Ti? It's the same price.

They have a few for sale at the computer exchange.

There are certain cards that no person should buy to prevent bad design and pricing choices in future releases from both Nvidia and AMD.

RX 6700
RX 7600 XT
RX 7700 XT
RTX 3070
RTX 3070 Ti
RTX 4060
RTX 4060 Ti

My personal recommendation would be to avoid these like a plague.

I would not recommend RTX 3080 Ti at this point. Performance is close to RTX 4070 Super but power consumption is lot higher and in some games 4070 Super has significant advantage for being more modern generation card.

How about the 7900 XT?

I'm not interested in raytracing features and I'll run game settings at medium to ultra to hit over the 120FPS frame rates.

It`s quite good card if you can afford it. One of the better releases AMD had in recent years.
Can outperform RTX 4070 Ti, 4070 Ti Super and in some games even 4080.

The 7800XT is about £500 while the 7900XT is £680 on CeX.

LOL

RTX 4080 is never slower than the 7900XT. Come on now.

Maybe in 1 game like COD if you uncap framerate and play at 350fps at low graphics quality. That doesn't really prove anything. That doesn't mean 7900 XT is faster. Just that it was optimized more for RDNA

Which graphics card, or cards, are you thinking of choosing from at the moment?

Probably either of those as 4070 Super seems rare in CeX.

Just wondering which CPU to pair it with.

Pretty sure it can beat 4080 in Hitman 3.

Now enable ray tracing.

By the way, that framerate is literally identical but I guess you don't know what margin of error is.
