Upgrading from 3060 to 4080-S/4090 or wait 5000

[Roman123]

Hello everyone,

 

I just finished to build my new gaming PC. Here are my specs :

CPU : 7 7800X3D

MB : X670E 

RAM : 6000 mhz / cl30

watercooler : 360

case : ATX format 

Power supply : 1300i msi pci 5.0 (had a very good deal)

Monitor : Asus VG27A - 1440p - 144hz (I will upgrade to 4K in the future, during the end of 2024 or during 2025)

 

And for GPU, I still have my 3060 12gb aorus because I haven't decided yet what to do ... between buying a 4080 super which is in france between 1109 to 1200 euros (the model I want is 1200 euros) or invest for long term and buy a 4090 for 600 euros more (4090 costs 1769 euros now the FE model on NVIDIA website).

 

Or do I wait for 5000 series BUT the 5090 will cost and will be too much ... and the 5080 will come in like 1 year from now and will cost I guess arround 1300 dollars (so in france it will be 1400 euros almost as a 4090 now !!) and in terms of performance be almost equal to a 4090 (lose maybe a bit in raster power and win in Ray tracing, as leaks say). 

 

My aim is to play on ultra settings in all games with RT ON if possible. 

 

What would you suggest ? 

 

Thank you for your reply.

Salut

What games are you playing ?

Could decide for some middle ground with a good not that expensive card like the 7800XT and then reexamine things when next gen will come out

It costs 550EUR and you'll be able to resell it in  1 to 2 years for around 350EUR, so it'll only cost you 200EUR over the period

is the 3060 preventing you from doing anything you need / want to do now?

Of course a 4080/90 would be better for games and such, but is the 3060 preventing you from doing anything now? 

 

(I'm expecting the 5000 series to launch in November, which is the normal time for Intel / NVidia to launch stuff.)

As I described, yes it limits me regarding my other system specs and in games ofcourse, playin on low medium and hardly get 60 fps with upscaling (for example in helldivers 2) ... 3060 is a 1080p card but it's not the topic here. I want to upgrade it but can't decide between what I mentionned (4080 S or 4090 or wait 5000) and just wanted an advise.

I'd just down the resolution to 1080p and wait for 5000 series which should release '24Q4 or '25Q1
