with only ~$100 difference i would be going for the best option available, the RTX 3090.
if you have the cash to blow though, go with an RTX 4090.

AMD's RX cards have a difficult time dealing with Ray Tracing in general.
also their FSR isn't supposed to be as efficient as Nvidia's DLSS.

tuf 27" 165hz 1080p

i'd also be looking for a better display with such powerful cards in use;
ultra-wide 1440p or >=32' 2160p.

Get the 3090 or the 6950. Preferably 3090. The 3080ti unfortunately is too low on vram for it’s class of card and will probably be more susceptible to running out of vram in newer games.

And for $800 you can have a new RTX 4070 Ti 12GB.

I’d hesitate on the 4070ti due to only 12gb. It’s got the horsepower but from videos I’ve seen, the 4070ti is basically limited to 1440p due to the vram. Which is too bad since it has the power of a 3090 or 3090ti but only has the 12gb vram.

Would love too but that card in Argentina is +/- $1100 usd, the 3090 seller is not showing up so im probably going for the 6900xt and that leave me with more money to get a better case too.

 

[ohio_buckeye]

I get where you are coming from but the issue is you have games like hogwharts legacy that can use almost 10gb of vram at 1080p. Manufacturers will likely be pushing that boundary in the future. So what happens say in a year or two they are using that 12gb vram at say 1440p? Then you have an 800 dollar card you’ll be having to turn settings down. Not because of lack of power but simply because the vram buffer fills up.

that i didnt know lol. so the 6900 16 ram seems a good option then. i still hope the guy with the 3090 show up today.

 

[ohio_buckeye]

I think the 3090 is 24gb maybe? So it might be the better option if you can get it.

 

[ohio_buckeye]

Gives a bit of an idea. But you can see as they dialed up settings how vram use increased.

I would get a 4070TI, it will have warranty and performs good.

Asus TUF is 799.99.

More power efficient, 12GB , DLLS 3.0, 3rd gen ray tracing, NVIDA drivers........

totally agree but where i live you have to pay taxes and it goes to 1100 usd +/-

 

[Nighthawk117]

At those prices might as well go for 3090. AMD does support Ray Tracing but it's a lot slower than Nvidia.
