What gpu to buy for 1440 and light 4k

[Rawson]

Looking to build a pc soon. Primarily play 1440 buy like to do some things in 4k. I’m looking for a card that would crush 1440. I know the 3080 is great, but the 6800xt is another contender. What do y’all think? Also 3070 ti???

if you arent ray tracing anything then 6800xt is good enough

rtx 3080 or rx6800xt 

 

 

take whichever is cheaper. 3070 is 8gb for 1440 and 4k needs more than 8gb

 

in this thread they explained that you need more than 8gb for 1440p and especially for 4k

(if you can see link)

4070 is also quite good, 3080 performance level with less power and better RT/DLSS/DLFG, and 12GB (3080 has 10GB variant)

3070Ti is not really meant for 4K, lacks VRAM 

A bit more expensive there's 4070Ti and 7900XT

Don't waste money on 3070ti unless you get the best deal of your life because usually any alternative in that price category is usually way better.

The 6800XT or 3080 is fine. I'd recommend the or 6800XT more if the prices are similar (or cheaper), assuming you don't need anything that heavily relies on CUDA or RT in which case go for 3080.
