Upgrade GPU or Wait RX 580 to 5700 or xt or or...

[MCCOPRA]

Hi all, 

 

was running a 1080ti on my system it was a founders edition but one of my friends offered me quite good price for it since he will be watercooling it he needed a factory pcb.

 

got back to my back up rx 580 4gb for now - running my ASUS VG279Q 27" Full HD 1080p IPS 144Hz monitor.

 

do i move on and get a 2060 /s , 5700, 5700xt or a 2070 /s or wait for a while for new gpus to come and go in that generation.

 

any help can be appriciated just got monitor so any gpu that is not overkill is welcome

Just got a 1080p monitor? Should have gone with 1440p ...

 

Which CPU do you have? The link from your signature does not work.

i'd wait, tune down the settings abit 

the 5700 /xt is just like a cheaper variant of 1080

updated my signature running 3700x and got the monitor as a gift from an event  i like it easy to run ips 144hz,

Also previously was running ASUS ROG Swift PG248Q 24” to get 180hz  frames got the 1080ti but no longer needed and damn i like ips monitors and ips 144hz ones are a bit expensive side

i game couple days a week not seriously gaming playing outer worlds and fallen order now and occasionally wow, cod bo4 and overwarch so right now tuning down graphics to 60+ in aaa games and 100+ in esports titles.

 

how long is the wait any leaks about what is coming

The "best buy" card for 1080p 144Hz today would be the GTX 1660 Super. If you'd like to add Ray Tracing to the mix and still go above 100 fps, the RTX 2060 Super or 2070.

On the AMD side, the Vega 56 (flashed with a vega 64 bios) would be my choice. Wouldn't go above RX 5700.

i dont trust it can handle 144fps 

techdeals had some video on this

The 1660 Super is quite near the 1660Ti, Tech did not test the Super variant because it was released during his benchmarking.

yet the 1660ti is 30% faster than 580 & 5700/xt is just 70~80% faster,  implied that it wont handle 1080p 144hz in newer games

I think your greatly over estimating what the 1660 and 2060 Super can do.  In the benchmarks I have seen, a RTX 2080 ti can't push 144 fps at ultra settings in Metro Exodus and that is with Ray Tracing off. I mean it comes close,  between 100-130 fps give or take but it can't push 144 fps + which is what you want if your going to take advantage of the full 144Hz refresh.  With Ray Tracing on, the RTX 2080 ti only manages to to hit in the 70-80 fps range.

 

Edit: (This is assuming you want all the eye candy enabled of course.  Obviously if your willing to drop to Medium or even High quality, lesser cards can do the trick)

try and get a regular 2070 if they can still be found. if not if you have the money get a 2070 super and upgrade to a 3070 when they release. but that is a bit overkill for 1080p high refresh but... its better to have a bit of overkill than needing to tweak settings.

5700xt or 2070s will be in 1080ti range performance. I say hold to see what AMD releases next year in Jan

[MCCOPRA]

Got a Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 5700 from a really good sale - gonna flash the XT bios on it and call it a day - if amd comes with better i probably be ok with 1080p for another year  - will keep you updated with benchmarks before after flashing xt on it if interested.
