Upgrading graphics card

[Heiks]

I have been thinking of upgrading my gpu for a while now. I am currently running a gtx 970 and with a i7 8700k (I will not upgrade cpu)

 

I'm thinking of buying the 3080 but with this new amd release Im not so sure I have always had a nvidia card and love the geforce features but does amd have something similar?

 

Also would the 3070/amd version be a better choice with my cpu?

Closest thing AMD has to 3080 is the 6800xt. I think that its $700.

 

What about the 3070? Or the 6800? both great cards. 

 

AMD does have something a bit similar, I think that the adrenaline software is comparable to GeForce, but Nvidia is the real winner with software.

Nvidia GPU's are meant to be more stable and sustain better performance in intense GPU exhausting gaming. If you plan to hit AAA titles in UHD or higher RTX 3000 Series would be best choice to my mind.

Really, even with the new announcement?

 

I'm gonna wait for benchmarks, but I think that AMD will blow everyone away this generation.

In that case it sound like nvidia would be a better choice for me. But would my cpu bottleneck the 3080?

I agree. We should really await the announcement before we wish to compare anything
