Question Hi guys, I am seeking advice about upgrading my gpu

[Learner techie]

My pc specs are -

Power supply - Corsair HX 1000i
Cpu - i7 5820k
Motherboard - Asus Sabertooth x99
Ram- 32 gb Corsair Dominator 3200mhz
Gpu - Gigabyte geforce 980 extreme

So the question is that Will my CPU bottleneck Or any other component if I upgrade my gpu with RTX 2080ti ??

What resolution and refresh rate is your monitor?

 

[Learner techie]

Hi GarrettL, my monitor brand is AOC with 144hz

 

[King_V]

What resolution? And does it have FreeSync, GSync, or neither?

 

[Learner techie]

Also

Recommended Resolution

1920 x 1080 @144hz

 

[Learner techie]

Hi King_V, it has free sync. Here is the link as well to monitor Website https://agon.aocmonitorap.com/my/mobile_product.php?id=AG322FCX

At 1080p even the best CPU’s can ‘bottleneck’ a 2080Ti. Really a 2080Ti is suited to higher resolutions.

 

[Learner techie]

Hi sizzling, which one would you recommend 2080 super or 2080ti?

 

[GarrettL]

The 2070S is more than enough for 144Hz with AAA titles. You can buy a 2080 if you want too. What psu do you have?

I must agree if you game at 1080p or 2k resolution with AA methods and highest game settings then the 2070 Super is the way to go. Anything above that especially if your playing at 1080p will be a waste of money. WIth a 2070 Super you will get your 144fps to match your 144hz however you will have drops to 100fps in some games and when you do that is where freesync kicks in and you will not notice the frame drop and things will still be butter smooth with no stutter or lag. Good Luck 🙉👌

Hi Turtle Rig, great advice thanks heaps. Yeah I am just after more fps in COD. Cheers

Got it - FreeSync at 48-144 with DP, 48-120 with HDMI. Since it has LFC (Low Framerate Compensation) you can actually get it to adapt down to 24fps if the need arises.

That all said, what are you going for, frame-rate wise? Are you looking to hit those max values of 144fps? Would you be happy with less, say, locking the framerate to a max of 100 or something?

In any case, I'd recommend the Navi cards, if you were to get something today. Here's the performance of the 5600 XT (the 5700 non-XT is also rated) at 1920x1080

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx_5600_xt/2


When they fully reviewed the 5700 and 5700 XT, they didn't show 1920x1080 results, but started right at 2560x1440, here:
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx_5700-rx_5700_xt,6216-2.html

You can take those numbers and multiply them by 1.7 to get an approximate idea of what the frame rates would be at 1920x1080.


Bang for buck, especially on a FreeSync monitor, I cannot recommend Nvidia. Go with one of the AMD Navi cards, they greatly outdo Nvidia on performance per dollar. Sometimes, the 5700 is only slightly more than the 5600 XT.

Additionally, as @GarrettL mentioned, the PSU is important. You want a high quality PSU when you're getting a mid-to-high end, modern video card.

Thanks King_V yeah I am after more frames and I agree with 5700

The only thing worries me about AMD gpus is their high temps

 

[GarrettL]

I get 120-140 FPS in CoD with1440p and 2070S.

I am getting around 100-120 on lowest settings

 

[Learner techie]

I actually never new that dp gives more fps than hdmi

That is very good for a 980 series GPU. If you were to get a 2070 Super your frame rate would sky rocket and your CPU is fine especially if you can overclock her to at least 4.4Ghz then you have no reason for a CPU upgrade just a GPU upgarde is what you would need to match your monitors refresh rate and what not.

During Cod Warzone my cpu usage was 50% Where as gpu was 100%. Thats what triggered a thought to upgrade my gpu.

Thanks guys, everyone of you cleared all my doubts. Now I guess I will wait till 5700 and 2070 super prices drop. Until then keep on grinding and stay frosty 😁

Also any issues in the future with your new 5700XT or 2070 Super or advice about software or overclocking etc just hollar I will be here so will everyone else. We are here for you, I know these situations or choices you come upon in life makes you sorta wonder and doubt and be confused or just want to ask questions. 👍💯😜👨🏽‍🦲

That will vary more based on which specific models and from which board partner. The Navi cards aren't particularly hot, whereas the Vega cards had a tendency toward putting out a lot of heat.

2070 Super production is rumored to have stopped.

Thanks a lot Turtle Rig, I will definitely keep in touch with you all. Everyones advice helped me learn so much about what I need instead just wanting to splash money like an idiot. So, I was up all night trying to figure out a sweet Monitor and GPU combo but there aren’t many options. So decided to wait till I come across a good deal on a 27inch QHD monitor with 180hz or more with 1ms response rate and suitable GPU. Thanks guys 🙏🏻
