Hey guys, you all doing good?
I'm from Brazil and currently in the market for a new card, but things are real ugly here. My PC is dead until I buy a new one.
My target is 1440p 144hz and occasionally I use the TV and play on 4k.
I literally have 3 options:
RX 6800 reference
RTX 3080 Zotac Trinity
RTX 3080 MSI GAMING TRIO
The RX 6800 is from Gigabyte and they offer 3 year warranty, although I have never used it. It costs R$ 5200,00. The math around here is simple: Take the official MSRP in dollars and multiply in 10x or add a zero to the right, sorta of.
The Zotac one is 20% more expensive than the RX 6800, but here in Brazil they have a really bad reputation in which they offer 2 year warranty that doesn't work. I have seen reports of people taking 10 months to get their money back from Zotac's RMA.
The MSI one is 40% more expensive than the RX 6800, but MSI is really good around here and the card itself is much better than the Zotac's.
The question: Would a significant better performance, better ray tracing, DLSS, better card and brand overall(MSI, at least here) be worth 40% more?
Thanks to you all.
