Question Help me select new gpu for my PC

[CzarekC]

My actual pc specs:
• Motherboard: MSI Z590 Gaming Edge
• CPU: Intel Core I7-11700K
• RAM: Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR4 32 GB 3600MHz CL16
• GPU: MSI GeForce GTX™ 1060 6GB GAMING X
• SSD: Samsung 990 PRO 1TB M.2
• SSD: Samsung 980 2TB M.2
• PSU: MSI A850G PCIE 5.0 ATX 3.0
• CASE: MSI Velox 100P

What GPU im think to buy:
• RTX 5060 TI 16GB (only when specyfication and efficiency are good)
• RTX 4070 Super
• RX 7800 XT

Can you help me chose to use in 1440p and 1080p.

I love my 4070 soooo one vote there.

Any of those listed would be a huge step up from a 1060. This close to the launch of next gen cards it would seem sensible to wait.

 

[CzarekC]

@Flayed Yea i will wait.
RTX 5060TI with more performence than 4070 super and 16gb vram be a huge.

But what about bottleneck with 11700k?

What is your understanding or definition of "bottleneck"?

It hasn't been released so any performance comparisons would be speculation.

CPU is on 100% usage and gpu e.g. 60%.

Ofc on 1440p gpu usage will incrase.
But still playing on 1080p now.

Putting in a better part (GPU) will not decrease overall performance.

IMO, AMD still has the crown for value, and considering next-gen Nvidia cards are likely to run on PCIE 5th gen I would go for the 7800 XT for your specific setup right now. Anything you get including previous generation AMD or Nvidia, or even the new Arc B580 if it wasn't sold out everywhere, would be a huge step up from the 1060 though as others have said.

honestly i own a 4070 super and had zero issues with it drivers are solid. it will run over your old gpu and make it feel like a pebble. its also way more energy efficient.

i wouldnt go near the rx 7800xt

more the 7900 gre as they should be similarly priced. they perform similar to 4070 super and its usually cheaper.

however if your looking for best performance per watt the 4070 super and 4070 ti and 4070 super will run rings around them.

Not sure what the gripe is on the 7800xt. It’s pretty close to the 4070i think except in ray tracing. I currently own an rx 6800xt which is basically almost the same exact performance and it’s a great card.

In fact, I think my local Microcenter is holding a 7900 xtx so I’ll likely be stopping to grab that tomorrow evening. Which I get new gpus are about to be out, but realistically, nvidia will be expensive more than likely. AMD in their next generation is supposedly not releasing a high end gpu, so my thought is grab their high end from this generation and I’ll probably end up to the mid to higher tier of the newer cards. And the price for the xtx is 799 I think which is pretty decent for that card.

But big thing for a 4070 or 4070 super is that 12gb of vram. Kind of like putting a corvette engine in a car that doesn’t have a good transmission. You have all this power to turn up textures and use dlss and ray tracing just to possibly into a wall of limitations with vram and be forced to lower settings while paying 600-700 for doing so. Nope I’m ok.

6800xt is not that reliable, you'd possibly get a mining card

never ran into a limitation the faster gddr6x is alot quicker

7800 xt isnt close to a 4070 ti. it beats out the 4070.

https://gamersnexus.net/gpus/amd-ra...nchmarks-vs-rx-7900-xt-7800-xt-rtx-4070-super

ive owned a 7000 series card it had power issues especially under the multi monitor set up. ( that was suppose to be patched which it has not been fixed).

this didnt effect the 6000 series which i tend to recomend over the 7000 series.

the only card that i even say is decent value at least in uk is 6800 xt and 6750 which is a steal in uk atm.

7900 gre is the one card i made the exception.

7800 xt is actually slower then the 6800 xt it was suppose to replace. because its actually a 6800.

and yes nvidia played same bs.

xfx sometimes depending where you live are still in the wild dunno how many amd made but in uk we still have 6800 around lol.

Oops, I had a typo. I meant the 6800 xt was was about as far as a 4070. If you re read that part of my post I was starting another thought and must have forgotten to put a space between 4070 and the i.

As far as the 6800 xt, you can still get them new occasionally. Mine was purchased from Newegg. In fact my local Microcenter in the USA still has a new one of the same model I own. So they are out there.

However with the 7800xt, yes you’re correct I think it has more in common with the 6800 than the 6800xt. They must have done some tweaking though because benchmarks I think show it barely ahead of the 6800xt but sometimes losing. However I’ve not owned a 7000 series card as I had the 6800xt. Kind of looking forward to theto 7900 xtx. My local Microcenter store had some for 799 dollars US which seems like a good deal. So I’m going to sell my 6800xt while it has a lot of its value still as it can compete with the 7800xt. I figure the 7900 xtx should hold me through much of if not all of the next generation unless that’s just some incredible breakthrough or deal that I can’t pass on.
