Which GPU??

[LucaV94]

Hi everyone,

 

I really don't know which graphic card to buy for my system and my needs.

I had a EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW3 that i sold because i wanted to play on XBOX ONE with my friends that don't have a PC. Bad choice, i miss my PC (an advice: never ditch a gaming PC for a console).
Soooo... right know i have a fully working gaming PC but without a GPU and i don't know what to buy.
My system is like this
i7700k (stock at the moment) with a Be Quiet Dark Rock 4 on it
16gb ddr4 (3000mhz if i remember correctly)
850w Seasonic PSU and nothing else that matters in terms of performance.

 

Whitch GPU should I buy without spending too much?? I use to play many games but not competitively (BFV, Fallout 4, Ghost Recon Wildlands, The Division, The Witcher 3 and thing like that). I play on an LG34" monitor on 2560x1080(this is the max res of the monitor) and i'd like to play on ultra settings without the need to going over the 60fps(if i have a stable 60fps it's great). Let's say I like to play a really good graphic game and play it smoothly but i don't need 11245488745454 FPS. All the games that i like are pretty demanding in therms of performance (even Fallout 4 because i like to add a lot of mods on it) but playing them on 2560x1080 resolution they are not too hard to make the run smoothly.

Right know i'm thinking about the RTX 2080 or the 2070ti (I wanted to buy another GTX 1080ti but it's hard to find even used at the moment).

I think that my old GPU was a little bit overkill for what i need, am i right??

 

I'm Italian so sorry if i wrote something wrong.

Thank you!

 

 

 

**Again, never sell your great Graphic Card for a gaming console. NEVER.

its really hard to switch to a weaker gpu... you have very limited option....2080(ti)

An rtx 2060 would be the best match for you.

Yes, you're right! Ok the 2070 it's not bad at more or less 650€ but my fear it's to feel too much the difference between this one and the old 1080ti.
I was thinking about the 2080 from MSI (not the TI) which cost 850€.

 

About the 2060, i've heard that it will be a great GPU for the price but I don't know if i want to go below the 2070

2070 seems like a pretty decent choice if you don't want to settle at something below it. It can deliver more than 60fps on ultra high settings on your preferred games. It goes for around $500 in the US but I can't tell the price for European market.

The European market is always more expensive, and even more in Italy. At least we are good at cooking! 
Anyway I thought about the 2070 for the price and because i'm not an hardcore gamer like i was some years ago and i don't have too much time to play that's why I don't want to spend TOO much on the GPU. Here the 2070 goes more or less for 650€. Which version/brand do you advice??

Since price is a major consideration for your purchase, I'd highly suggest you go for the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Gaming OC 8G. Hope it retails for a fair price in your market. Cheers!
