Need Advice for GPU

[aquilaadrian]

Currently i bought vega 64 Nitro+, but it is still in the return period, i choose it because i have freesync monitor on 1080p 144hz. However since so many leaks, for a new GPU of Nvidia, i feel uncertain.

My cpu is Ryzen 7 1700. If i wait for a new GPU lets say for 2070 which is to be rumored to be a shy 1080Ti, will i see an improvement compared to my current vega 64?

My uncertainty is that will my cpu bottleneck the 2070?(lets assume it to be shy 1080Ti performance)

is there a benchmark of 1700 with different GPU ? because i want to see how ryzen scaling to different Tier cards

If you overclock the 1700 it will be fine, especially in 1440 and higher res.

I have the 1700 with a 1080ti and it runs fine.

I personally don't feel it's worth returning the card because you're able to use Freesync on such a monitor. Especially if your V64 was bought at a good price. 

 

A Ryzen 1700 does encounter a small bottleneck at 1080p 144hz. A decently OCed 1700 (3.85Ghz+) will reduce this bottleneck to negligible levels though.

 

I'm not even going to try to speculate about the 2070's performance because there have been no legitimate reviews or benchmarks yet (obviously).

I am on 1080p 144hz

If you overclock it and have decently fast ram you will be fine.

Here in EU the price tax is really high, got it for 500€ but that the usual price equivalence in EU. i am just uncertain if for example i return it and try to buy 1080ti after new gen launch is the price really justify the performance that i get

i see, so should i return my vega 64 and wait next gen launch so i can get 1080ti or next gen equivalence?

If you are playing at 1080p 144hz i see no reason to.

Keep the card. You already have a Freesync monitor so you can take advantage of that.

Do you have a GOOD Freesync monitor, let's say IPS or VA panel? If yes, keep it. If you have cheap TN junk, and if you have the money, return it and go with the RTX 2070... but ultimately you will need to pay far more considering G-Sync monitor prices.

I have VA panel, this it the link

That's a decent monitor, I'd keep the setup.
