I'm in the market for a GPU? £500-£700

Basically as the title states. My 4-5 year old GPU (R9 390oc) died yesterday, the GPU market at the minute is crazy confusing on both sides. A card thats good for playing games while recording, rendering. Any ideas guys?

I'm getting too many conflicting opinions to make my mind up :/ And considering that Nvidea has basically took ALL GTX 1070's/1080's/1080TI's off the market... I need some help guys.

 

*Thanks for all the help guys! I will be waiting till Navi is dropped. But you have all been very helpful. :)

I thought that the Radeon Vll was a bit of a failure?? Or it was underwhelming?

it was underwhelming, its basically a slightly slower (5%) and cheaper 2080, and louder too.

I'd reccommend waiting for Navi, or RTX 2070.

But the RTX 2070 price is 30% more than the 2060 for an extra 10-15 frames in gaming.

had some driver issues at the start, but that's normal for a fast-released product

 

it's on par or beats a 2080 in a lot of tasks (except when bad optimised for opengl in certain workloads like some adobe software)

how does that have to do with my 2070 rec?

its more expensive, louder (in general), and has less features, and can't run cuda software

the 2070 is a weird card on it's own, the pricepoint it's in makes no sense to me

It was underwhelming because it was a bit overhyped.

2070 will have more raw compute power than the 2060 will, making your rendering experience better.

So what is Navi?? And when will that be out? Because I have no card atm... so my PC is basically dead, would I be waiting months?

a new architecture that will (probably) replace polaris

 

rumors go either computex or e3

Well, I suppose I could wait till then to see this new Navi card, its not that far away it seems and it looks to be in direct competition with the 2070.

The vega 64 exist.

 

Which is usually a bit cheaper and you can usually get the nitro+ variant

Below budget option

More towards the top.

 

 

The Radeon 7 wasnt bad per say, but it did not offer a performance we hadnt seen before and it wasnt super cheap. Right now the Rad 7 is cheaper while being roughly the sam3 performance as the 2080. Which is the same as a 1080ti

 

Same goes for the Vega 64

Guys, I found this which actually seems to be a steal? Right? Its from PC World here in the UK and the thing is I work in PC World and get a 10% discount. Is Gigabyte a good GPU brand?

EDIT*

OWW WAIT, its the 8gb version, okay that makes sense...

That seems like a pretty good deal if its 630£.

 

Gigabyte is a pretty reputable brand.

 

 

You option would then be that.

 

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/dkprxr/sapphire-radeon-vii-16-gb-video-card-21291-01-40g

 

This with the better warranty support

 

 

Or

 

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/yM97YJ/powercolor-radeon-vii-16-gb-video-card-axvii-16gbhbm2-3dh

 

This cheaper one.

 

 

Cant really go wrong with any of them.

well the RTX 2060 is an extra infinity price than iGPU, for an extra 100 frames, the more you spend the less you get.

Actually, now that we have CPUs with and without iGPUs wr can actually say they do cost something.

 

Also the 2070 isnt much better than the 2060 and there is the cheaper vega 64 between them that makes more sense.
