GPU Upgrade Considerations, availability and discussion

Dezrin · April 5, 2021

Budget (including currency): £600 GBP

Country: United Kingdom

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: All games, including Warzone, Battlefield V/VI, Valorant, GTA V, Elite Dangerous: Odyssey, Diablo 4 (when it's out) and more!

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

Intel Core i9-9900
32GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance 3000Mhz
~~AMD Radeon RX580~~
250GB SATA6 SSD
2 x 120GB SATA6 SSD
1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD
Corsair 750W Builder Series PSU
Fractal Design Meshify C
Corsair H100 AiO

Looking to upgrade the RX580 with something that will give me the best price to performance, I'm hoping to buy within the next 2 months (depending of availability).

I've always gone with AMD, but wanted Nvidia and just couldn't justify the cost when I could get basically the same performance for such a better price.

Please help me decide!

Any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

we'll most likely not get any gpu within the next months unfortunately, unless old ones do get back in prices.

If we assume everything is MSRP (sad that it isn't *[insert sad song]*), You have an i9 cpu so you can decently handle an RTX 3070 or a RX 6800. But as I said above

If old ones are coming back in prices, I guess an RX 5700 XT or RTX 2070 SUPER or 2080 but I would still recommend the newer generations but as I said, we will most likely not get any new gpus within 2 months sooo... yeah...
