[SOLVED] Which GPU should I pair with my 3700x?

[BrandonFitzpatricc]

I’m thinking of pairing it with the RTX 2070 super, but I feel like it might be better to pair it with a beefier card like the 2080 super so I can utilize my CPU more. I’m most likely not gonna upgrade again for another 5-10 years. What do you guys think?

Whats the resolution of your monitor?

1440p with a refresh rate of 165hz. I might use ray tracing if it becomes more relevant in the future

Either get the RTX 2080, or the RTX 2080 Ti model, if you can afford these GPUs. The TI variant is going to be slightly more future-proof as well.

At 1440p cpu becomes the bottleneck anyway even going from 3600 to 3700x you will notice almost zero difference probably in gaming. If you plan to keep your card for this long time then take the best card you can with your budget.

Are you referring to the regular 2080 or 2080 super? I can definitely afford the regular 2080, but I’ve heard that the 2070 super has very similar performance to the 2080 and is generally the better GPU to purchase. Am I wrong about that?

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. I’ll probably invest in a more powerful card for long time use

2080 (non super) and 2070 super are pretty close but you will pay more 120$ overall i would prefer 2070 super cause the petter price/performance ration between these two.

The SUPER variant would be much better, if you can afford one. Get the RTX 2070 SUPER.

Here's what I would say... The Super variants of the 2070 and 2080 were quite disappointing really. They were not much more powerful than the regular models. The TI model however has much more performance. Here, Ill give you a video to JayzTwoCents explaining what I mean. So my answer is get a 2080TI if you can afford it.
