[SOLVED] New GPU - 3090 vs 5700 XT

[FreamoN]

Hello, I am upgrading my GPU currently since I am using 1050 TI and it's painful for gaming in current games.
The choice is between 3090 and 5700 XT - Nothing between, please don't suggest anything else.
Is the 5700 XT good enough for gaming on one monitor and doing other things on two different monitors? I am kinda tired of lags or low FPS in games.

That being said, there comes also 3090.
I am using all three monitors with 1080p - 144 Hz

Budget doesn't matter right now, it's just if it's worth it or if the 5700 XT will keep me on or above 144 FPS

PC :

CPU : Radeon 3700X
Motherboard : Asus Prime 570x-Pro
Cooler : Kraken X73 water cooling
Ram - 2x 8GB G.Skill Trident.Z
PSU : Kinda forgot, but it's Seasonic GOLD either 500 or 600W

The RTX3090 isn't a good "bang-for-the-buck" gaming card. Especially for 1080p. Waste of money.

The 5700XT is plenty capable of 1080p 144Hz gaming. Difficult to extrapolate all the way back to a 1050Ti, but you're looking at nearly a 4x improvement in FPS going to a 5700XT.

The 3090 is nearly 4x the MSRP of the 5700XT. Not a very "apples-to-apples" comparison.

Why can't we suggest any other GPUs between the two you listed? (RTX3060Ti for example)

That was fast answer, appreciate it.

Sadly, I've only the choice between these two, cuz I have discount for them, nothing else. :/

That being said, I believe the 3090 may be really an overkill and waste of money. So I hope 5700XT may be good enough, never been a user of AMD GPU's

The 3090 would've forced a cpu and probably ram upgrade too...
Ooh, and a psu upgrade too.

What about the Zotac 3060 AMP Double fan?

 

[David0ne86]

the 5700xt is a better card than a 3060. Unless you care for ray tracing.

 

[Phaaze88]

Wuh?! Now there's another option?

Well, certainly a more compelling option that the 3090 from the same lineup...

Wouldn't hurt to mention actual pricing. Especially if there are suddenly more options closer to 5700XT levels of performance. Then we can advise on price/performance.

Those are quite outdated. Nowadays a 5700xt goes pretty much the same as the 2070s fps wise (in few instances even beating it). That card despite a rocky launch due to bad drivers, aged like fine wine. The 5700xt was (before the prices would hike up like crazy) a very viable option for 1440p gaming. Good luck finding one at MSRP nowadays tho. The few I've seen go for around 7/800 dollars, and at that price, they simply aren't worth (it's still a better card than the 3060 tho).

Not sure if this was directed at me, but the first graph is from the RTX3060 review which was Feb 25, 2021 and the second graph was from the RTX3060Ti review....
