Upgrade advise

[truck_2796]

Hi all I currently have a 2080ti with a 5900x and was wondering if I should upgrade my gpu and if so what would you say to upgrade to?

That would depend what games you are playing and what resolution you're aiming for. 2080TI is a 1080p card these days. But it'll still get most of the job done playing most steam games right now other than UE5/modern AAA un-optimzed slop.

If you're concerned with frame-rate buy Lossless scaling. While Frame gen is not a "performance booster" it should fix some stutter issues if you cap your game(s) at 60FPS.

If you play competitive games like CSGO/CS2 for example the 2080 ti will still be fine playing those type of games.

If you play Marvel Rivals, that game is poorly optimized since that game is on UE5.

If you find yourself playing UE5, demanding games, or just again un optimized AAA games often(like Black myth wukong, Stalker 2, or First Descendant), i would recommend a B580, 6900XT, 6800XT, 4070 TI or the super, or you could wait for the RTX 50 series.

If you want to Use Ray tracing like in Cyberpunk, the 4070 TI super will be enough.

The 6800 and 6900XT are around $300-400 bucks on Ebay

The Intel B580 seems like a good deal seems to be a good deal in Pricing since that card is like around $340 dollars on Ebay it competes with the 6800XT. The B580 is apparently faster than the 4060 and closer to the 4060 ti if im not mistaken

Otherwise, IMHO gaming and graphics has stagnated. Get most of out the stuff you have because again most games on Steam dont really require newer Generation of card that much as you think. For an Average person, the 2080TI is still a decent budget GPU, if you want to go higher resolutions you can get one of the cards i stated here and research some benchmark videos.

I came from a 1660 which is not really a great 1080p card lol 😂 to a 6700XT 2 years ago.

would i be worth waiting for the 5070 ti as for me the 4070 ti is still around 820 pound

It depends on the benchmark numbers and the price to performance point from independent reviewers. But your'e not getting 4090 levels on performance with the 5070 and the Ti for this matter. Just BS marketing claims from NVIDIA.

I would probably worry about that 5900x bottlenecking 5070 ti if you wanted to get that card.

Nvidia cards have Driver CPU overhead issues comapred to AMD. not to sure about Intel.

I’m assuming the best thing would be a complete new build with a Ryzen am5 then ?

Your 5900x isn't really going to hold back a 5070 apart from at very high fps, which, is beyond what most are very happy with (you could easily get over 200 in most games that want high fps).

Do know the faster than a 4090 is with the new mfg dlss tech, as far as raw perfirmance goes without it, it's way behind, should still be a ni upgrade from the 2080ti, or, you could try your luck and get a 4090 from someone panic selling it very cheap, just remind them it's 'slower than the new 5070' and I'm sure some will let them go for like £600 lol

That depends. I would wait for benchmark videos for the 5070 with a AM4 CPU.

Okay thank you

hopefully with the scalpers PS5 Pro disaster maybe just maybe they will back
off on the Nvidia cards and you will be able to score a 5070 or 5070ti at MSRP

I do hope so I wouldn’t be willing to pay scalper prices
