GPU upgrade need some help

Hi 

 

I was wondering if its worth upgrading my gpu, I am currenlly gaming on a 1440p 144H Monitor

 

Current setup 

 

i7 8086k

16 GB 3200 Ram

Z370E Asus mobo

Zotac 2060 GPU

PSU Corsair AX860i

 

My Budget is enough for a 2080 or Radeon VII. although I prefer getting what I need for the monitor and not more as I keep upgrading every couple of years

 

Reason Im upgrading is I got a great deal selling my 2060 GPU 

 

Thank you

If you just get a 2080, you can save GPU money in the future, as a 2080 will last you a long time.

But a 2070 is viable too, since you said you don't want to spend too much.

I wouldn't go for the Radeon VII because of power consumption reasons, but it's your choice overall

Hope I helped!

What monitor you got? If freesync/gsync is not a factor, the 2080 or VII are similar in performance. The 2080 has RTX, the VII has 16GB of HBM. Honestly the HBM sounds cooler to me, but RTX has its appeal

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

I think my monitor is the ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQR ( Not sure cause I see more than one model with the same specs kinda) but its the 32 inch 1440p 144 Hz

That model has Freesync so it would work with the 2080 or the VII really well

Personally, I love my 2080... RTX is cool, and it will only get better. Its not a huge game changer right now, but the tech is incredible and WILL make an amazing difference in the future. That said, the 2080 won't be the card to make that "huge difference". Cards down the line with great ray tracing ability will. That said, its cool to be a part of that tech tree and see what it can do. Honestly, even at low ray tracing settings in BF V I think it truly looks fantastic!

When you talk about animated video, if you are talking about rendering/ animating this video, then I recommend the Radeon 7 with it's 16GB of HBM2 (twice the VRAM and faster VRAM), otherwise I would recommend 2080.
