GPU Recommendation :-)

Hey there, 

 

im in charge of upgrading my friends PC.  He just bought the 7800x3D for a good price here in Germany so he has good 1080p Peformance there. (With a 240Hz 1080p Monitor from Samsung)

He is playing competitive games aswell as titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Helldivers (Gpu intensive games) and his RTX 2070 is getting quite weak in those titles in combination with his old 9700K. 

 

Now my question is is it still worth to buy for example a used 3080 TI which is on ebay like 500-700€ or should i wait until the AMD Cards are priced a bit cheaper? The 9070 XT is 800-900€ here.  

Is there maybe a Card that i am missing? 

 

In most games his 2070 is still enough but Cyberpunk for example he wont see a huge boost from the 7800x3D i guess. I upgraded GPU and CPU always at the same time.  

 

The budget starts to hurt around 700€ as long as he can use the new GPU at least six years like his 2070 its okay.

Wait for 9070 XT to drop in price.  its worth 100-200 extra euros for the performance difference, at 1080p the 9070 XT is about 20-30% faster in games, and at 4K its closer to 30%. You also get 16GB instead of 12GB of VRAM, which means the card will last longer before needing an upgrade.
