Built a new PC,looking for GPU recommendations

Temuka · January 20, 2019

Hello everyone,I just finished building my new PC and now GPU buying is a concern. My build is:

Gigabyte Z390 Ultra

9700k + be quiet Dark Rock Pro 4

16GB DDR4 G.Skill 3200

Samsung 970 Evo + 4TB HDD

Corsair RM850x (2018 edition) + be quiet silent base 800

I play on full HD 60hz and now I need to step in 1440p gaming with 144hz monitor (also looking recs for this one)

Mainly I play World of Tanks,but I always play AAA games when they are out,mostly FPS and TPS games.

Since there are some problems with 2080 and 2080ti cards dying and amd doesn't offer anything interesting at this moment

Now I play WOT on medium settings with on board gpu (uhd 630) so basically I can wait for some new releases,but as I guess it's not happening in new future.

I need gpu to power one 144hz monitor for gaming and another 60hz big TV for movies,adventure games,browsing etc...

2070 isn't fully enough for 1440p gaming,which makes choice even more difficult,what should I do?

false, that was only on the first line of 2080 ti's. I would just get a good 2080 and be done with it, or a 1080 ti if you can find any second hand

Yeah i back this up if you get a new 2080ti or 2080 it would come with a warranty anyway, having the new cards do allow ray tracing if you wanted that as well.

As I understand only optimal option is buying 2080... I was just wondering if there would be any sense in waiting for this cards for price drop + which 2080 is better to buy? Are Gigabyte 2080 good cards? They are kinda cheaper than all the others

So I don't have finally decided,but thinking of buying 2080 MSI

WIll it be good decision made by me now or should I wait for price drop or any new products ? I was thinking also about 2070 which can be enough for 1440p gaming by reducing some settings,but price difference (about 150-200 euro) between them isn't a real problem for me,so should I go with 2080 msi? ))
