Unsure of what GPU to get.

What graphics card should I get?

 

Hello, I'm thinking about getting a new graphics card for when cyberpunk comes out. I want to run the game at 1080p ultra 75fps with raytracing/RTX on. There are quite a few new cards coming out and I'm not sure which one to go for. I was looking at picking up a 3080 when they come back into stock. Appreciate any suggestions/advice. Thanks.

 

My specs:

RTX 2060 super

Ryzen 9 3900x (stock speed)

32GB 3200Mhz DDR4 Corsair Vengeance RAM

Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler

B-450 Strix motherboard

1000W modular be quiet PSU

500GB SSD

2TB HDD

My monitor is also 75Hz and 1080p

Your 2060 super is fine, just use DLSS ?

You're only doing 1080p.

If anything wait until you can upgrade your monitor with your GPU to some 4k 120hz one

IMO that’s not a great idea running a 3080 for a setup that you want to achieve 1080@ 75fps.  1080 @75fps is fine by all means if thats your goal, but if your looking to stay in this generation, go 3070, and that’s still overkill.  My humble recommendation would be if your gonna go current gen RTX, upgrade your monitor to a minimum of 144hz if you stay at 1080p, otherwise your honestly throwing money out.

 

edit:  with a 3080, 144hz may be still low, definitely for future. I put my 2080ti in a build for my dads house on a 144hz dell and that thing maxes that monitor on MANY games

Hello, thanks for your response. I was planning to get a new monitor in the near future anyways lmao. Are there any you would recommend? I had a look on amazon and found this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-LC32JG50QQUXEN-31-4-inch-WQHD-Monitor/dp/B07FJP11L2/ref=sr_1_3?crid=4FXK78DY73XA&dchild=1&keywords=1440p+144hz+32+inch+monitor&qid=1606867413&sprefix=1440p+144hz+3%2Caps%2C244&sr=8-3

 

Would appreciate your thoughts on it. Thanks

Do you this monitor would be worth it? Also if there's any other ones you would recommend I would appreciate it. Thanks

I would suggest either getting a 1440p ultra wide

 

or a 4k 40" 120hz display

As a 16:9 1440p display isn't really as much of an upgrade/change.

I don’t know much about European pricing, or your overall budget, but a 1440 144hz would be a much better use of the added horsepower than sticking to 1080.  I personally use a 1440 ultrawide and love it.  Samsung makes good gaming monitors across the board.  If you want higher refresh/better panel than 144hz, look at the G7 line, but they are another level up in pricing.
