Looking to upgrade my PC set up... Looking for the best GPU!

Budget (USD): 500-750?

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Video Games (Destiny mostly?)

 

I am using: 

MB: Asus Prime B550 Plus 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT 

Ram: Corsair Vengeance PRO 32GB (2 X 16GB) DDR4 3600MHz

GPU: RTX 2060 

PSU: EVGA Gold 750 80+ Gold 

Storage: 1TB Samsung 980 Evo Pro 

 

I am between going green and red with my GPU (either the 7700 XT, 7800, 6800XT OR a 3060/3070) What would be best for my build?

If you want to play games with raytracing down the road go green, otherwise the AMD gpus are more bang for your buck as long as you don't mind spotty driver support sometimes (unless it's changed?) Also Destiny isn't a very hard game to run so any of the GPUs you listed should do 1440p fine.

My Build (5800X3D, RTX 3070)

 

disclaimer: i probably don't know what I'm talking about but I try to give the best advice I can

What's your resolution, which monitor?

 

Also, the 5800XT hasn't been released, there are just a 5800X and a 5800X3D. AMD is supposedly releasing AM4 XT CPU-s soon.

 

Do not use UserBenchmark for anything meaningful, that tool and site are almost useless and misleading.

 

Looking at the system, it's quite optimized for 1080p, maybe a newer/stronger GPU would do better, but I wouldn't recommend above a 3060Ti/4060 or Radeon 6600XT/6650XT/7600/7600XT/6700 for 1080p with a 5800X. A 5700X3D or 5800X3D could do a 4070 or RX 6800/7700XT.

If you're on 1440p, the 5800X can handle up to RX 6800XT/7800XT or RTX 4070 SUper, 4070Ti.

Just get the best out of your options... 7800XT which on average outperforms the 4070. CPU bottleneck will be minimal.

Undervolt your 5800X so it runs cooler and can boost higher/more frequently. This will help to alleviate the bottleneck. Remember to set FCLK to 1800. If you cannot be bothered fiddling with PBO2 numbers, just put a -0.05 offset on VCORE (50mV undervolt)
