What GPU to upgrade to?

[ProPigeon]

Hello,

 

I'm looking forward to upgrading my monitor and my GPU along with that, as I'm now running a fullHD 60hz monitor, and I would like to drop into 1440p and 144hz.

I run a 1060 6gb rn which is more then fine for my 1080p60hz, with an i7 8700k and 16g-s of 3200mhz ram.

I originally planned to make the upgrade at around january-february 2020, but now I'm seeing all these speculations'n sht, about next gen GPU-s, like 30xx rtx, or higher-end amd gpus, and I was wondering if it was a better choice to wait for another few months with the upgrade.

As of right now, if I already had the money, (will save up till jan/feb) I would get the gigabyte aorus AD27QD, and an RTX 2070S. But the 2070S is not fully enough for every game on 1440p 144hz, and is very expensive. 

So what do you think? Should I wait till mid 2020-s, to maybe see cheaper and better GPU and/or even Monitor solutions?
Thanks!

I'm fairly sure rtx 3000 and new high end amd GPUs are quite a way off, so I would probably go with a 5700xt in your situation. It's cheaper than the 2070s and about the same performance, depending on the game. Neither will run AAA games at 1440p 144Hz on high settings, but they'll be fine for less demanding games and they should be able to push 60-90fps with settings maxed on the demanding games.

I won't go red with my GPU for the 5700 XT

Why not? The 5700xt is a perfectly good card, and better value than the 2070s.

Software preferance.

If the AMD card was a ridiculosly better option, something with same or better performance for less money, I'd go with it.

But the amd card is worse for most games, and not so much cheaper - at least here, I'm from Hungary. Tech is expensive af here for no reason, and add a 27% VAT on that too. For what money I need to spend here on a 2070S, you guys in america could most likely get a 2080 - or 2080s

I'm in the UK, it's pretty expensive here too. 

 

If you're set on nvidia that's fine, I guess you just have to accept you might be paying more for the same thing.

it's not the same, the 2070s is better for gaming, by a pretty noteable amount actually.

Wouldn't go that far.

 

The 2070 Super is faster than the 5700XT but not by much and not "noticeably" so. If you have a preference for nvidia over AMD then fine but if you're also complaining about costs then I'm sorry to say but the 5700XT is the best offering generally - very good performance for the money compared to nvidia.
