What to buy?

[jbrebel]

So, i'm looking for a new GPU and i wondered; which card is better for what I want.

 

mainly i will play CoD MW 2019 and BF5, and in march Cyberpunk 2077.

 

I want to play on 1440p 144hz.

 

What to buy? Sapphire rx 5700 XT Nitro+ or the Gigabyte RTX 2070 super Windforce. The Nitro version is 492 euros and the Super version is 549, But i will get CoD mw 2019 for free with the super version ( 60euros ).

So the price factor is equal. Which card performs better at this games and resolution?

 

And what about the Pulse version, is the Nitro version that is 40 euros more expensive worth it?

I'd go with the 2070 Super. Both cards are about the same perf wise, but AFAIK Cyberpunk 2077 may/will support RTX stuff, and if they do it right it should look really damn gorgeous. You'll take a performance hit though, but IMO less fps is a worthy tradeoff for eye candy in RPG games. 

Yeah, Nvidia themselves have an article on it, Cyberpunk 2077 will have RTX ray-tracing: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/cyberpunk-2077-nvidia-partnership-ray-tracing/

@Zando Bob Thanks for your comment. I did not even concider ray tracing because I mainly play first person shooters. With that in mind im leaning more towards a RTX 2070 super.

Lol, np. It's the same reason I may save for an RTX card (currently run a Radeon VII so I don't really need more GPU power, just RTX support), just to make Cyberpunk 2077 look prettier. If it lives at all up to the hype I'll likely get it, and I really enjoy RPGs so long as they don't have garbage combat systems. Cyberpunk looks to be hella solid all round so it may become one of my main games (i've mostly played shooters - mostly Destiny 2 now - and stuff like Rise and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, BOTW, and dabbled in some others).

@Zando Bob Im stoked for Cyberpunk 2077. hopefully it will live up to its expectation. I hope the 2070 super is strong enough for ray tracing.

IIRC the 2070 Super is almost a 2080, which is almost a 2080 Super, so other than the 2080 Super or 2080 Ti there's not much room to go up. It should be fine, could look at benches in BFV or Shadow of The Tomb Raider to see how it handles RT at 1440p, but then Cyberpunk's implementation could be different. Regardless it'll be much better at RTX support than the 5700XT, has a better NVENC encoder for streaming/recording as well if you're into that.

@Zando Bob Was watching some videos on youtube and for Tomb Raider the fps drops 50%. If with raytracing at 1440p i can get 60 fps i will be more than happy. Im not into streaming at this point, just the best graphics for Cyberpunk and great performance for CoD MW 2019.

 

Tomorrow i will decide which card I will buy. But the 2070 super stands out at this point.

Im in the same boat, would pretty much always go 2070s over the 5700XT, unless something happened and the price exploded and it was not reasonable.  It's close to prior 2080 levels, RTX, NVENC, better drivers, and the price difference isnt enough to make me not grab it.
