I would appreciate opinions.
I am trying to work out what is the most sensible graphics card upgrade to do on my Gaming PC in order to remain competitive in Overwatch 2 and the Battlefield series games for the next 12 to 18 months.
I am aware OW2 won't support SLi
Ideally I want to be able to run 1440p at 144 FPS and have some headroom to turn up the eye candy from Low settings
I could sell my current GPUs and perhaps now is the time to do it with the Etherium Proof of Stake coming later this year and Nvidia price drops. Could sell cards now and buy another GPU later I n the year (as I am sadly too busy to game (I know!) for the next 8-10 weeks
I am happy to buy second hand including ex miners card
My PC case is big enough and equipped with plenty of Noctua fans and a decent Corsair power supply and I built the PC myself. Would consider pulling the motherboard but suspect replacing the mainboard , CPU and ram(?) is going to get silly (and riskier) for this particular upgrade.
Don't really want to spend more than a few hundred $
I am likely to want to do a complete new gaming PC in 12 to 18 months and I am lucky enough that I will probably want to build a upto date medium to high end rig for gaming (I dont stream or do video editing etc)
These are my basic System Specs
CPU
i7-2600k
Motherboard
Asus Maximum Hero VIII Hero
RAM
32GB DDR4
SSD
Samsung 950 Pro 256GB
Screen
Asus RoG PG279Q - G-SYNC 144hz 1440p
GPU
GTX 1080p in SLi - EVGA Founders
So......
Do I try buy a GTX 1080 Ti - if so what price range
Do I try buy a RTX card (new or second hand incl ex miners)
Do I buy an AMD card (new or second hand)
I have an eye on what sort of second hand price i can get for components (both now and in 12 to 18 months) as I dont like wasting too much cash by not reselling some of my hardware but I am also not so short of funds that I have to try and squeeze ever $ (or in my case £)
Thanks in advance.
