3070 or 3080

[exbass1991]

what graphics cards should i get for 1440p gaming at 144hz the 3070 or the 3080

 

[narrdarr]

wait till reviews come out

 

[exbass1991]

not a fanboy but i have to upgrade i keep getting black screens with my rx 580 so i need tol buy one soon.

The 3070 won't be out until October, the 3080 should be out by 17th of September. Both are probably going to be sold out pretty much immediately. So if you need something right now, both are probably not ideal. Maybe you can get away with a cheap replacement card until either one is actually available?

[exbass1991]

i only have enough for a 3080 or a 3070 and im low income

ive saved up all year for one of the new cards.

have you tried using the pro enterprise driver for your card?

Because of the limited supply at launch, chances are you won’t be able to get one until after reviews are out anyways. 
But that said, the 3070 should be great for 1440p 144fps in the majority of games. But if you plan on playing very gpu intensive games or using ray tracing, it may be worth it to get the 3080 for the extra performance.

Neither of those are low income cards. They're incredibly expensive.

A 2070 super is plenty for a great experience playing 1440p 144hz. So, with that established, i would say go with the 3070 since it offers a supposed significant step up in performance.

I don’t think anything official has released with its performance or system requirements, but I believe I have heard that it will be one of the more difficult games to run. The 3070 should still get 144fps on not-highest settings with ray tracing off though so it would still be a great card. If you really want highest settings (but ray tracing still off to get 144fps), you might have to go for the 3080. But since nothing official is out, that is just my guess.

The 3070 should still be great for that. You can still go raytracing just don’t expect 144fps. I believe the 2080ti still struggles 60fps in most games with it on. So even if it gets 2x ray tracing performance, that’s 120 not 144.

Hello, just burrowring this thread for a simple question. Does the crowd think that the 3070 will run MSFS2020 at very high? At 1920*1080?

Won’t know for sure until testing is done. But assuming it is equivalent to a 2080ti (which is what Nvidia is claiming), it should get frames around the high 40s on average at 1080p ultra.

Fyi, in the future you should make a dedicated thread if you have a question.

well you can try it might do the trick and hold you over for a bit longer

I'd wait 1 week for the 3080 to see what stock will be like. If the sell out immediately i would look pick up a 2080ti in the low $400s or high $300s quickly before sellers realize 30 series is unnobtainium. Preferably an EVGA card as their warranty is amazing and transferable, and make sure it has at least 2 years warranty left.

...a 1080Ti can do 1440p/144Hz gaming without issue, at least in my experience.  A 3070 is supposed to be around double the performance of a 2080Ti according to nVidia, and the 2080Ti is supposedly better than the 1080Ti...so 3070 would probably be fine.  I'd wait until the cards come out...and also confirm you can get one, since stock is reportedly going to be low until 2021.
