Best "budget" 1440p gpu

[Flyingchickennugget27]

What is the best 1440p gpu for a good price (dont care if new or lightly used)

[boggy77]

rx 5700 new, gtx 1080 used

Well if you dont specify how much FPS you want 30/60/120+, everything can be a budget 1440p GPU.

 

Id probably recommend an RX 5700 (XT) or something similair for 100FPS + gaming

what is better than what? what's your budget? the best gpu is 2080ti, but it's not "budget"

[Flyingchickennugget27]

Are 2 570s/580s in crossfire a good option

Around the $350 range

[ILLUMINATY]

RX 5600XT/RTX 2060/RTX 2060 super for low end 1440p and RX 5700 + is for mid/high end 1440p.

SLI is dead and the two 1070s wouldn't be that much faster than a single 5700XT anyway in a perfect SLI scaling scenario.

The 5700(XT) is the best option for your use case.

But Ive seen a benchmark video of 2 1070s vs a 2080 ti and the dual 1070s got higher fps

And I am sure you can find ones which show the opposite too.

Also what about nvlink

[Flyingchickennugget27]

The only reason i was talking about sli and nvlink is because i wont have to pay GST(australian tax) which is with every purchase from australia where you have to pay an additional 10% of the products price as tax, but the 2 1070s come from the usa so there is no gst

NVLink was introduced with Nvidia's 20 series cards on the consumer side.

IIRC two 1070s were behind even a single 1080Ti, so I doubt they'd beat a 2080Ti tbh
