3840x1200 I have an ultra wide monitor. The 5700xt preforms quite good and I have no complaints at the resolution

Forgot to mention: cooler: Corsair H100i v2

Budget: +- $1000 Country: South Africa, I can source most components locally though so this is not an issue Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: With regards to gaming I only ever play triple A games and basically no competitive games. More fps is always appreciated but is not the be all and end all for me. I mainly use my system for productivity, coding, I run virtual machines quite often and sometimes even multiple ones at the same time. Some video editing too from time to time. Other details Other specs: 650W 80+ Gold psu MSI Gaming X RX 5700XT MSI Gaming pro carbon x370 Samsung 970 Evo plus 1TB ssd (boot drive) G Skill TridentZ 3000Mhz 32GB (8GBx4) Why I want to upgrade: Chipset is getting old and my motherboard does not support PCIe gen 4 but my gpu does. Newer amd cpus offer much better performance in gaming and productivity. What CPU and motherboard would you suggest I upgrade to? Or should I hold off and wait for prices to stabilize and see what future products emerge?

So it shall be then.

I wanted to try out some of the RTX features, but I suppose ray tracing is not even that good yet. So I will just pick up the 5700XT

Hello! I'm in a strange situation, I need a new GPU as I recently got a Lenovo legion y44w-10 ultra-wide and my GTX 1060 6GB simply wont do any longer. I would like to go with a RTX 2070 however here is the issue. In my country the RTX 2070 is currently almost $200 more than a 5700XT (Msi Rx 5700 Xt Gaming X 8G). I really want to go an Nvidia card so I convince myself that an RTX 2060 / RTX 2060 supper would do just fine. I go to check prices and they are also more expensive than the 5700TX!? And by $100 average too. The best I could find was an RTX 2060 (non-super) for the same cost as the 5700XT. Usually because of the unreasonable GPU prices I get locally I ship from the US, but as our currency has plummeted in value and shipping costs increased it is no longer feasible. Should I just get the 5700XT as it seems to be a good card and its value is close to msrp?

Definitely the CPU, from there you will have much more flexible GPU upgrade options in the future.

Guess 2070 it is then

Ahhh I see, alright so the 2070 would then be the better option

Hello, I just got the lenovo Legion Y44w-10 but I currently have a gtx1060 6GB. I'm pretty sure that it will struggle driving the monitor. I have been doing some digging in a few other forms and it seems like a RTX2070 is the way to go, but I was wondering as the monitor supports freesync, would it be better to go with an RX 5700 XT instead? Thanks!
