What to buy?

[Chippyz]

Since prices in my country are bad, I have no idea what to buy.

RX 5700 XT Reference - 450$ (new)
RX 5700 XT Sapphire Pulse - 495$ (3 year warranty new)
1080 TI Aorus used - 466$ (4,5 months warranty left)
1080 TI used - 400-430$ (no warranty)
RTX 2070 used just a little - 430$ (comes with warranty)
Colorful RTX 2060 8GB GDDR6 Super Limited-V - 430$ (new)
GAINWARD 2060 Super Ghost - 460$ (new)
Sapphire RX 5700 Pulse (non-XT) - 430$ (new 3 years warranty)

RX 5700 XT Reference - 450$ (new) - absolutely horrific noise/temp
RX 5700 XT Sapphire Pulse - 495$ (3 year warranty new) - no,good card,and new means you can rma or return in case there's issues,but 495 is too much if you can get a 2070 for 430
1080 TI Aorus used - 466$ (4,5 months warranty left) - yes,but 2070 is a better buy
1080 TI used - 400-430$ (no warranty) - no
RTX 2070 used just a little - 430$ (comes with warranty) - absolutely best option here.
Colorful RTX 2060 8GB GDDR6 Super Limited-V - 430$ (new) - 2070 FE is a better buy
GAINWARD 2060 Super Ghost - 460$ (new) - no at this price
Sapphire RX 5700 Pulse (non-XT) - 430$ (new 3 years warranty) - no at this price

Yeah, I will see what I can buy out of these. Those are the cheapest prices here.
Although with that RTX 2070, the guy just said it has warranty, I will have to call him to get more details.

retarded

This term is offensive, you know.

 

[Vayra86]

This term is offensive, you know.

Context, though lol...

2070 def looks like a winner esp with warranty and pref purchase receipt.

 

[Chippyz]

Yeah, you are right. I fixed it.

Also just in case i can't buy that 2070, what should I do then?

I would wait for a few months if you can. New cards dropping.

Well, performance wise, the 1080ti is the strongest card there. But it is a older generation, and your options for the 1080ti have little to no warranty left. So I'd say if you feel lucky, go with one of the 1080ti cards, if not, get a 5700xt pulse.

 

[dgianstefani]

2070 definitely or wait for next gen.

 

[Chippyz]

I definitely won't be able to afford next gen cards. Because nvidia and amd always drop high end cards first and then after a couple months they release mid range cards. And don't forget prices here are very high especially when the cards launch. Like the RTX 2060 is still 460$ in a store.
I don't want to use this 12 year old gpu replacement anymore, it can't even play twitch streams in 1080p 60 without stutters.

That 4 core 4 thread cpu you got is gonna be a problem in modern games..... Especially since it's locked and only does 3.4ghz

I made this account a long ago, I forgot to update that. I have a R7 2700X now.

Ok that's way better.... I would go with the 2060 super or 2070 over the AMD options if DLSS 2.0 catches on more which is seems like it is they are the much better bet over the AMD options.

None of those Nvidia cards are seriously worth it. The 1080 Ti is old and overpriced, Gainward 2060s have poor quality coolers with a lot of plastic on front and even plastic backplate, and the 2070 maybe. It's a FE which is meh compared to custom cooler temps. Either get a 5700 if you can deal with the possible Navi driver fandango, or wait for Ampere. Ampere cards will do RTX a whole lot better, and the 2060 cards are not as strong as the 5700 XT in raw power.

No maybe not new, but a flurry of used are going to come on the market. But I understand not wanting to wait. I have been waiting for over a year.

It's not a founders edition it's a zotac mini, I also got information that the warranty is until february 2021.
I don't really have much choice here. I wish the prices weren't so bad.
Maybe I should just go for a 5600 XT for 340$

if this is an upgrade that is suppose to last you a while I would grab a card with 8GB of Vram if its more of a stop gap upgrade and you expect to upgrade again in the next 2 years a 5600XT is fine.

RTX 2070 or better yet wait till September/October, new GPU series coming out from both Nvidia and AMD.

 

[Hexa]

either rx 5700 or wait for rdna2, easy as that

Yeah I found MSI Gaming X RX 5700 new for 420$ and since it has a good cooler, i will either OC with those registry modifications or flash an XT bios.
It's crazy that it's cheaper then the pulse.

 

[Chippyz]

At the last moment an RX 5700 XT PowerColor Red Dragon appeared for 440$ so I pulled the trigger on that one.

Too bad you couldn't wait till September/October.

Hope you won't have any issues with that RX 5700XT.

If the 2070 is so good why did they release the Super? Would not these prices fall even further when the prospect of buying a new (not just a refresh) GPU becomes more of a reality.

Just because a card is good doesn't mean a slightly faster successor isn't worth it. Remember, the Supers were a response to the AMD cards.
