Is there any good GPU upgrades for me
out there
Honestly I would spend up to 1000. I want this RIG as a high end beasty boy.There are plenty of GPUs you can upgrade to that'll make a large difference. The major question is how much are you willing to spend?
If you're willing to pay the scalpers, I think this can get you a 3070.Honestly I would spend up to 1000. I want this RIG as a high end beasty boy.
I’ll pass on scalpers. Been waiting months for a 3080 if sucksIf you're willing to pay the scalpers, I think this can get you a 3070.
Otherwise if you're patient, you can get a 3080.

Yeah youre on the ball with that one, cheers! I think I'll go for a new monitor 1440p 144hz instead of the GPU for now then. Any recomendations on that end? was looking at the LG27gl850Absolutely, all depends on your budget and needs, such as what resolution and game style.
That's a different story. Over-zealous purchasing by scalpers and miners has driven an already limited supply into almost extinction. It's so bad right now, that it's pretty much guaranteed you could sell your 3 year old card for more than you paid for it in the first place. Ppl are desperate for anything decent, so even the 10 and 20 series are dissappearing faster than a $100 bill in the middle of the mall.
You have a working, functional gpu. I'd keep gaming on it until it's legs fall off.
$1000 will get you a 3060 if you are lucky. That goes head to head with a 2070 or 1080. Not really much of an upgrade from a 1070. $1200 might get you a 3060ti, roughly the same as a 2070Super or 1080ti, which is a better upgrade. You'd be looking at more than that for a 3070. ($1400-$1600 on ebay)
Could you link me these lotterys? And I', aware the 1070 still holds up respectfully, but I built a decentely high end rig over a year ago and still have the GPU holding me back lol. Same as a lot of people though so cant complain.In a case where you are determined to find something and have that to spend, I would look into the Newegg or EVGA "lottery" thing they have going.
A 1070 is still a viable card, particularly if you are willing to sacrifice eye candy.
where Newegg has their "Shuffle" program, that is in effect a sort of lotteryI would look into the Newegg or EVGA "lottery" thing they have going
if you have an account with Newegg, download their Android app and it will notify you of the Shuffles when they are initiated.Could you link me these lotterys?
Lol so mental. Might aswel wait for the 4080s at that rate.where Newegg has their "Shuffle" program, that is in effect a sort of lottery
EVGA has a queue system where the first to sign-up are the first to be notified.
Since many of us have already been signed up for this for many months, the queue line is probably extended to a year or more from now for new registries. that's if they'll ever have enough supply to fill the demand that has been created.

the products offered are totally random and usually the high-end cards are a part of bundled items.
but there's been a few lately with single 3070s, 3060s, RX 6700 XTs.
from a 1070 to a 3070, definitely if you get one relatively close to the MSRP.Is a 3070 worth the upgrade?
Sounds good, i'll keep my eye out for one then like everyone else haha.from a 1070 to a 3070, definitely if you get one relatively close to the MSRP.
most benchmarks i've checked have the 3070 surpassing the 1080 Ti by a bit and with RTX capabilities.
there are new Shuffles constantly through the week. each one is only open for a few hours and when the next one begins is never officially stated.It appears that Newegg ended theirs with no return date.
Yep exactly what I was thinking. Just hold off until a new generation comes.Linus Tech Tips released a video on the whole situation after speaking with the manufacturers.
But the short of it is there's a demand problem simply because we're stuck at home and a lot of people found new hobbies. Manufacturers don't expect to be caught up with demand for at least a year.
But hey, assuming your GPU lasts that long, we'll have a new generation and the old generation will probably be less sought after.

Very smart idea but I dont think i'd have the patience for that!What I did was just watch slickdeals every day and wait for a prebuilt deal to come up. Their was a deal just yesterday for a prebuilt with a 3070 in it for 1137$. Just rip out the GPU and sell the computer for 400-500 dollars.
