Question In need of a new graphics card.

[GlennKass]

Dear people,

I'm looking to upgrade my setup a bit.
Really struggling to get around 100+ fps on Warzone and other games.
I run a triple monitor setup at 2560x1440 - 165hz.

Current specs as per below.

CPU
Intel core i7 @ 3.7 GHZ Coffee Lake

RAM
16 GB Dual Channel@ 1500 MHz

Motherboard
Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Z370-A PRO(MS-7B48)

Triple monitor MSI G27CQ4 - 2560x1440 - 165hz.

GPU
Nividia Geforce GTX 1070 8 GB Gaming MSI


What can I upgrade that will help me with my frames and make gaming just smoother in general?
Not looking to upgrade every single item, just bit by bit, and good enough parts so I dont have to upgrade in the upcoming year already.

Thanks in advance.

Well, it isn't going to be cheap because graphics cards are astronomical in price right now and there are no signs of that changing in the near future, but for a triple 1440p display configuration I think you clearly want to target something like GTX 2080 ti, 3070 or higher. And that is the upgrade you likely want to go with as your Coffee lake i7 should still be pretty viable for most games unless you are playing a title that is specifically VERY CPU intensive, in which case that might have a much larger impact on frame rates, but for most games especially with that many pixels to push, the GPU is going to be the biggest factor.

if your gaming on all 3 monitors a new video card for sure like a 3080ti.

Edit a few on the Newegg Shuffle today if your in the US lowest price 1500 bucks.

Noted thanks a lot.

I think i will aim for a 3070 or 3080.
Are both compatible with my CPU and motherboard?
Or will that require an upgrade also?

3080, 3060 or 3060 ti go for it

Yes, pretty much any graphics card that's been released in the last six or seven years, at the least, will work fine with your motherboard and CPU.

If you can afford it, the 3080 would be the much better option for triple 1440p. That's an awful lot of pixels to push, even at moderate settings.

3080, 3060 or 3060 ti go for it

A 3060 Ti for 1440P isn't going to come close to cutting it on Warzone.

Not 1440p, TRIPLE 1440p. So, instead of 3,686,400 pixels, it needs to be capable of pushing 11,059,200 pixels. Definitely needs to be a 3070 or higher, or equivalent, depending on your settings requirements.

What PSU do you have?

850watt i believe.

Thank you for the advice, is the below one a good one to buy? Definitely looking for a 3080, but so many brands not sure which ones the best and also price wise.

What country are you actually in? It's best to look at options based on regional availability.

850watt i believe.

Not enough info, could be 850 watts of garbage. We need the exact brand and model to be sure that any new graphics card has sufficient power behind it.
