[SOLVED] GTX 1080 or RX 5600XT

[JakubFindra]

is GTX 1080 still a hood option for 1080p gaming? games like FC new dawn, AC unity, orogins, GTA V, IV, and mkdern AAA titles, i found GTX 1080 for 240€ and rx 5600xt for 280€, which one is better to buy rn

 

[DSzymborski]

Both are more than enough for 1080p. A GTX 1070 is still just fine for 1080p.

Whether it's a good price or not depends on what country you're in and whether these are new or used GPUs.

A standard 5600XT is about equal with the 1080, if you get one like the Sapphire Pulse that has the vBIOS update it will be faster than the 1080. Not to mention you will be going with a current GPU vs one that was released 4 years ago.

I would go for 1080,because I have a R9 380 and i get driver issues sometimes also black screen.Plus 1080 is a 4 year old gpu that is compared with a barely 4 month old gpu,so i think that tells you the 1080 is better

How does being 4 years old vs 4 months old make one better than another? Knowing nVidia's MO they will stop putting updates into their drivers for newer games with the 1080 relatively soon. On top of that you cannot buy a new 1080 anymore so all of them are going to be used.

None of this makes much sense.

A GPU isn't better because it's four years old. Performance isn't measured compared to contemporary parts but to all parts currently unavailable. That they have similar performance only means that the 1080 was higher in the product stack at the time, which has zero meaning for someone making a purchase decision.

Also, you having driver issues and sometimes a black screen with your R9 380 has absolutely nothing to do with the question being asked here.

I'm from Baltimore.

I asked you where you are located because whether a GPU is a good price or a lousy price has a lot to do with what country you're in. That and whether these are used or new GPUs are very important details!
