A second hand 1080 or a new 5700xt.

 

Purely for gaming. The 1080 is about $50nzd cheaper

5700XT is faster and comes with warranty, so unless you're talking about the ASUS TUF X3 version, the choice is pretty clear imo.

Cheaper, rock solid drivers. Realistically you should be able to barter them down quite a bit more than what they're asking.

You didn't state what you're playing at, so I'm assuming 1080p60.

Agreed .. a 5700xt is about 10 - 5% better and also more future proof....

It has Gddr6 instead of gddr5x.

And probably will get better with future driver updates.

Please quote or tag me @Void Master,so i can see your reply.

 

Everyone was a noob at the beginning, don't be discouraged by toxic trolls even if u lose 15 times in a row. Keep training and pushing yourself further and further, so u can show those sorry lots how it's done !

Be a supportive player, and make sure to reflect a good image of the game community you are a part of. 

Don't kick a player unless they willingly want to ruin your experience.

We are the gamer community, we should take care of each other !

I'm planning on getting a 1440p 144hz. And it's a fixed price so the only chance I have of trying to talk them down is if no one else buys.

Pulse is good. I'd go with 5700XT in this case, better architecture, come with factory warranty, driver will only get better for a year or 2 compare to 1080 and it's only 50nzd more.
