Graphics card conundrum

[delrolon]

Hey guys, would like some advice.  being new to building and shopping for a Gaming PC, I chose to start building a few weeks ago. for my gpu, I decidedon an asus RTX 2070. Little did I know, the 3000 series was being and has been mostly released aside from the 3070. Unfortunately, because I purchased off of neweeg, I cannot return my graphics card.I definitely learned some hard lessons for sure, like checking to see for upcoming hardware releases regarding GPU's, buying off newegg, but most of all just doing my research thoroughly . Given the situation, I kinda still wanna get a 3070 for my build,what would your advice be? I was told I could try and sell my GTX 2070 super and use the money to get the 3070 on release, but id love to hear some helpful community thoughts for a newby.

I understand about ur situation but if u do sell it on ebay for example the value for it will be incredibly low due to the competition u have so youll require to add like an extra $100 when buying the rtx 3070!

The GTX 2070 super it's not a bad graphics, and you are not going to get you money back (full at least), enjoy your nice card , you could always sell it in 6-8 month with the same price as if you were going to sell it now, also the stock on the serie 3000 it's pretty bad right now.

Use the 2070 super until it isn't doing the job anymore then sell it. It's really not a bad card

There is very few games out there that will not run fantastic on the RTX 2070 Super. I too own a 2000-series RTX card (2080S in my case) and none of the games I play goes below 100 FPS on ultra detail in 1440p, and while I understand the appeal of the new shiny piece of hardware, know that the 3000-series Super cards will drop in 6-8 months, and that the 4000-series will drop in a year or two. It never ends.

 

So enjoy your 2070S, and replace it if it dies or in 3-5 years when it can no longer run new releases on medium.

We all know it’s not about need it’s about want. I have a 5700XT and play at 1440p 144 Hz. The 5700XT does fine at this resolution but I am still going to upgrade to the 3070 or AMD equivalent. Do I need to? No. Do I want to? Yes.

The 2070S is still a fine card but if I was the OP I would take the hit on it and upgrade when the availability of the new cards is better.
