Choosing a video card

[hookuy]

Hi, I just bought a Ryzen 3900x and a x570 TUG Gaming Plus with 32Gb 3200Mhz C16. Now I haven´t decided a video card to pair with it. I do mainly 3D, video editing and graphic design with some casual gaiming so I think I don´t need a 2080. Right now I´m using a R9 390 and honestly I love it but it´s getting time to retire it from my main build.

 

Would be the 5700XT enough? Any other recommendation?

 

Thank you!

the question is, how much are you willing to pay?

Used 1080Ti if it can be found for a reasonable price is my recommendation. What is your budget though?

Well, I just spent 1300 USD for CPU, Mobo and RAM, so no more than USD400 if possible.

like the other guy said then

the used 1080 ti

unless you need raytracing cores but thats lame

[hookuy]

Thanks. Never thought about the 1080 TI as an option. I´m not sure how much would cost an used one in my country tho. Gotta check.

It might be hard to find one that stays within your price point.

 

I do have to ask, what software do you actually work with? if it has OpenCL based hardware acceleration the best upgrade for you would actually be a second hand Vega64.

Dude, a rx 5700xt is much better than a gtx 1080ti and will get more drivers so it will perform better over time, if you want a good budget custom cooler opt for gigabyte gaming oc or xfx raw II or Pulse. I'd recommend those any day of the week over a 1080ti.

The point of 1080Ti is it has 11GB VRAM. Which is more useful for 3D modeling programs.

The fact that you are still happy with your R9 390 makes it hard to recommend even upgrading.

 

Something that would feel like an upgrade would have to be a Vega / RTX / Navi card.

 

I always recommend looking at Pugent's benchmarks for teh suite of applications that you run.

 

I have a feeling for $400, an RTX 2060S would actually be the best, as that is what I would recommend, but I am also used to dealing with people that primarily run the Adobe suite. CUDA is well supported and the Turing NVENC is leaps and bounds better than what AMD has, especially with Navi being such a cluster with VCE support currently (even though it is actually better hardware wise than what Vega and Polaris have).

After looking into it:

 

https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Premiere-Pro-GPU-Roundup-NVIDIA-SUPER-vs-AMD-RX-5700-XT-1564/

 

https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Does-PCIe-Gen4-improve-GPU-performance-in-video-editing-apps-1565/

The above two articles actually showcase that the RX 5700XT is faster than Vega, but a little slower than Radeon VII, but the RTX 2060S is overall better in the main suite of applications.

 

I highly recommend the RTX 2060S. It will be slower than a 5700XT in games, but it will be faster in everything else that you do.

Yeah, but if you get a 1080ti it probably costs more and is already used. So you don't know if it is a mining card.

Did miners really use those at the cost they were?  I thought most miners were using like RX 580s

Yeah. Once the RX card were sold out, they moved to the GTX10xx line (GTX1080 excluded)

2070 super is a sweet spot for this kind of work load you can go pascal with the 1070 but you will lose some features over all 2070 is probably the best option imo
