Sweet! I am so out of touch with things lately that I didn’t even think to google exactly those two specs to see what the fps would look like. I think I have the info I need to make a decision now. Thanks for all your help.

Do you think I’ll have a hugeeee bottleneck with a 2080 Super? I don’t get big into what the stats are on benchmarks. I just want to play games and have it not detrimentally lag on me.

If I hold off on buying a GPU right now, I won’t be able to play those games I wanted to. My current GPU can’t handle them. Once the Coronavirus is over then I’m back to work without any time to play games. Such is life. It sounds like my system won’t handle a 2080 ti so it probably won’t handle the 3000 series either.

Thanks! I’ll look into those GPU options. I’m sure I’ll end up building a new computer in the not too far off future so I was hoping to reuse the GPU I buy, but I also wanted it to be relatively “future proof” for the new build. That’s why I asked about the 2080 ti. Obviously it’s pretty much the latest and greatest.

Thanks for the options on building a new computer. I didn’t expect that from anyone. Doing a complete rebuild would be a last resort option for me at this point. If I were to do a new build then I’d probably go with a high end Ryzen and a 2080 ti and fork out the big bucks. I have the money, but I’d rather not spend it right now with the Coronavirus uncertainty. I was looking for a “cheaper” option to get me caught up on some games that I haven’t been able to play yet.

Thanks for the reply. The saving money part was just buying a graphics card upgrade instead of building a whole new computer where I would get a RTX 2080 ti plus all the other parts required for a new computer. I want to be able to play The Witcher 3, Fallout 4 and other open world games. I want to make sure the graphics card will last for an extended period of time where future games won’t have an issue running. I could always transplant the 2080 ti into another computer build at some point if I wanted to do a complete rebuild.

I have a 7 year old computer that I built. It was a $2,500 system when I built it and it still runs very well. Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe CPU: i5-3570K overclocked to 4.1 GHz, water cooled with a Corsair AIO Memory: 32GB of DDR3 My question is if I can save money by just replacing the graphics card I have to a new RTX 2080 ti instead of building a whole new computer. I’ve done some googling, but I really haven’t kept up on tech hardware over the last 7 years.
