Hello,

 

I am close to pulling trigger on a new GPU and wondering what your thoughts are. 
 

EVGA 3070ti FTW3 $919

ROG Strix 3070ti $999

Gigabyte 3080 gaming OC $999

EVGA 3080 FTW3 $1039

 

I am having a hard time choosing. I will be upgrading from a sapphire nitro 5700XT

 

CPU Ryzen 7 3700x

Mobo gigabyte b550 aorus pro ac

Psu evga g3 750w

 

thanks for the help and let me know if I left any details out.

Why are you looking at cards that should be $400-300 cheaper than you've listed them at?

3070ti's go for just over $600. Paying $1k for one is getting straight up scammed.

3080ti's go for around $800, one's even on sale for $600 currently.

 

None of those. All scam prices.

I’m guessing you’re from the USA, I am from Canada.

The cheapest is a gigabyte gaming or vision oc for $999 never used gigabyte GPU before?

Well it's a major brand, their stuff tends to work - at least my 3080 Gigabyte Eagle works okay since 18 months, and my Gigabyte X570 board since 2 years... 🙂

I'm clearly not up to speed with my NVIDIA cards anymore.

Just seeing $ I assumed US. Still, many 3070ti's go C$100-150 cheaper than what you've selected.

Yes but don't buy them still, a 3080 is vastly superior for not much more

Don’t pay more for a 3070Ti than a 3080. Even a lower end 3080 will perform better than a higher end 3070Ti.
