What GPU should I get

[Kanna]

Hello I'm saving for a new GPU I was planing on getting a 2070 but I think I'm waiting for 3000 series and getting 3060 or should I do anything else?, workloads : GTA V (modded), Minecraft (Shaders + Mods) , Unturned, Forza horizon 4, DAIN APP (need cuda cores for that)

Full system?

Wait for Nvidias RTX 30xx. We are like 1-2 months away most likely. Keep in mind that if this launch is like any others from the past that the mid and lower tier GPU's will launch several months after the high end ones, this is pretty standard of Nvidia.

What's the current GPU? If you can, just wait for ampere and big Navi (Q3/Q4 of this year.).

which is about... a year away, or at least half a year

 

that said, if OP doesnt have urgent need for upgrade, just wait

*This is what I'm ordering when the prices of the 3rd gen ryzens drop (I'm going to be getting a GPU after that not before)*

 

Case : Corsair Carbide 200R

Mobo : Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE

CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (Maybe a better one depending on the prices)

GPU : GTX 1060 3GB (current)

PSU : corsair cx650m (buying from a friend who only used it for half a year)

RAM : 32GB corsair vengance rgb pro (current)

You can get a B550 board for less and invest the extra in a decent cooler which will enable you to run PBO and not fly away.

 

Do you need 32GB RAM?

x570 hmm... any special need for it over b550?

or you could get the next gen motherboard when it launches, if you havent bought it by then

man... i would drop to 16gb for a better cpu unless you need the capacity

Yea it should be fine for now. Waiting will be worth it. 

As others have noted. Get a 16 gig. Which should be fine in most cases.

What is it priced at? It's only a 6 core that you're powering nothing to insane. 

B450 tomahawk or the a pro max ( non m). Or the pro 4 or the pro vdh max or the pro 4. Should be fine. 

As for b550. The tomahawk and the mortar and pro 4 and the aorus pro and the strix f should do the job. 

As for x570. Tomahawk and the x570-p and the tuf are the only x570 boards that are worth it imo.

Some of the lower tier cards yes, but most of the product stack will launch well before then.

If all you do is game a higher end Ryzen CPU will make little to no difference in gaming performance, a 3600 is more than good enough.

 

Keep your GPU and wait.

Well it does have 2 m.2 slots which both have nvme and it does also have many vrm's (heard that was good for power stuff), Already have the 32GB ram updated the post

The B550 boards seem more expensive here and the Aorus x570 seems like a pretty stable board, already have the 32GB of ram minecraft takes alot when playing modded

That particular board is meh. I would not buy it personally. Usually you can get the Asus X570 Prime P for less

He's talking Ryzen 4000, not a 3700 X

So a 8 core CPU won't really give me more than a 6 core?, I do use blender sometimes and multitask alot aka have alot of stuff open (once had like 3 games open at the same time while doing some paint.net (PC didn't blow up somehow)

The Asus X570 actually is almost the same price where I live

ah, im not sure if b550 boards supports 2x m.2 in nvme speeds, but if you need a lot of connectivity bandwidth then x570 is a better choice

depends on your game tbh

 

i do cpu mining while i game, definitely didnt blow up, 12c at 100% load

Get that then. It'll be a better experience than the Aorus

Well I only listed the ones I know are intensive otherwise the list would be pretty big (osu! and roblox runs on almost anything tbh)

[Gol_D_Chris]

X570 > B550 if the prices are similar. X570 has "full" PCI 4.0 while B550 has just PCI 4.0 for the GPU and a NVME M.2.

 

Just for gaming a R5 3600 is enough and other AMD CPUs won't give you much more FPS.

 

I haven't seen it yet, but what are your monitor specs?

I run 2 monitors, one 1080p 144hz and one 75hz 1080p both are 24" if that matters

B550 mobos with 2x m.2 support 1x PCI 4.0 and 1x PCI 3.0

Better firmware, functional BIOS and slightly better power delivery setup

It matters a lot, since you're asking for a GPU.

 

A R5 3600 + RTX 2060 Super would be perfectly fine for that setup, but since the new GPUs might arrive soon, I'd wait.

 

I asked because a 2080 Ti struggles with 4k, too and you'd need at least a RTX 2070 Super for 1440p @ 144 Hz

Maybe getting that then (don't really like the look of it but as long as it works it could go)
