Question Which GPU would you choose?

[Mattimanden]

I have played with my watercooled gtx 1080ti ftw3 for the past 5 years or so, but it suddenly decided to quit on me. So, I need a new one which I do not intend to watercool. My life has changed a lot and I am now working full time as an intern and will finish my master's next semester, thus I have drastically less time to play than previously. I almost solely play CS and strategy games like CIV and Total War, and only on 1080p. I am heavily debating what GPU to buy, as I have always gone for high-end, also way higher than I need, and always chosen NVIDIA and are now strongly considering going team-red. Which of these would you reccomend for 1080p gaming which will be used maybe 2 hours/week? Or would you pick someting else entirely?
I am running a I7-9700K, 32 gb ram if that plays a role for you.

Pricing is converted from my national currency and represents the cheapest version at this moment.

1. RTX 3060 12GB VRAM version - 400 USD​

2. RTX 4060TI 16GB VRAM version (my friends reccomendation, but I see it has gotten a lot of bad reviews) - 630​

3. RX 7700 XT 12GB VRAM (Gigabyte or Sapphire most likely) - 595 USD​

4. RX 6700 XT 12GB VRAM - 422 USD​

Does your school or work care if you use team red or green? That might help you choose.

I used to game a lot. Now I barely get to use my machine at all. I'm lucky to get an hour a month. To be honest if you are gaming at 1080 and maybe an hour or two a day, I'd pick the cheapest option. Either of the $400ish options.

Well, I am a political analyst, so I am stuck on a Lenovo laptop during work-hours, and I’m not sure the department of political science at my university knows what a GPU is - so no. It is more in the sense that I have this irrational fear that I will not like Radeon Settings compared to GeForce experience, but I am getting increasingly frustrated by nvidia and their stupid pricing.

- that is also what conclusion I am leaning most towards

 

[pete_101]

Sounds like you really don't need the 4060 Ti or 7700 XT. So between the 3060 and 6700 XT, I'd personally spend the extra $20 and get the 6700 XT as it's quite a bit more powerful. As for Radeon settings, for all you want to do, I don't think you even need to enter the settings...at most you might want to turn on adaptive sync, but all the other settings should be fine at default.

 

[4745454b]

I tend to flip back and forth between the campus. I prefer AMD, but I buy what fits in my budget. I barely ever go into the drivers so I don't really feel it matters. The songs are there, just in a different place. It can take some getting used to, but again I barely ever go into the drivers.

I asked if work or school cares because you didn't list what you major in. If cuda matters then stay team green. But it sounds like that's not a problem.

I’m just so conservative and a consumer who really has an allegiance, but I am growing increasingly unhappy with their way of branding their products that I out of spite want to change. I’ve heard that they are quite slow to update their drivers, but when searching for it I cannot seem to find much on this.

Now that you mention it, your question actually makes so much sense, so apologies for not catching that - I am definitely not dependant on its computing power in that area unless it involves 50+ tabs of ram eating goodness.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated!

I’ve heard that chaining your resolution for counter strike is a bit of a pain with AMD, and it makes me wonder if those situations are more common - most guides are on NVIDIA cards. But I am also leaning more towards the 6700 xt, which I also feel is a better investment for the next couple of years should I get some more time on my hands? That thought is also why I have included the 7700 xt

 

[kira-faye]

The 6700 makes the most sense in your situation. If you were going to use it more I'd be pushing hard for a 7000 series card, but the 6700 should be fine.

Consider buying used? You can probably swing a much more powerful card that way.

 

[Mattimanden]

I’m at the same conclusion. I was/ am slightly considering the next level for future purpose, but I am honestly quite certain that I won’t be gaining more leisure time in the coming years.

The thought did cross my mind, but I can’t find myself to 100% trust people and their handling of hardware. RAM, SSD’s and such are fine, but my soul would not rest if I bought a used GPU sadly.

 

[4745454b]

Be aware that if you do things out of spite, you might not get the best deal.

YEARS ago, back when it was ATI and not AMD, they were slow to update drivers. AMD has been rather good about putting out a new driver every month. Sooner if there is a game released that needs an update. The issue AMD has is they aren't working with the game devs so they normally need a few months go get their drivers working 100% with a new game. Nvidia is much better about getting great drivers out for new games. (There are rumors Nvidia works with some developers to make sure they DON'T work with AMD so they get the best drivers longer, but that's rumors.) I personally feel a lot of what you hear about AMD drivers is actually about ATI drivers and most of the issues are fixed. Again, having ran cards from both camps I can't really say there is much of a difference. I have an AMD card mostly because I have a freesync monitor.

 

[mkaafy]

Does that mean you won’t buy water-cooled GPUs anymore? (Supposing you needed more power)

 

[ohio_buckeye]

If you look at used the 6700zt can be found cheaper. I’m about to put a 6700xt on eBay for around 200 actually. I just barely get on the computer anymore.

​

I would definitely not go for the 4060 ti 16GB because it is one of the worst-value GPUs this generation. Ideally, you could get a 7800xt for 500 USD, but that doesn't seem possible ATM. I would probably go for the 7700xt, but if you can find a 7800xt for around the same price, I would go for that.

That is interesting, but 95% of my gaming is counter strike and never any new releases, so that is fortunately not a concern for me. Sad to hear if that rumour turns out to be true some day though…

Yea my lack of time for gaming also mean that I cannot be bothered with the maintenance of a custom loop. I will in the next couple of years also get rid of the loop for my CPU and go back to an AIO, despite me thinking they are hideous.

 

[Avro Arrow]

1. RTX 4060TI 16GB VRAM version (my friends reccomendation, but I see it has gotten a lot of bad reviews) - 630​

Your friend has recommended what has been called the worst video card release in the last ten years. Clearly, your friend's level of knowledge is severely lacking and I wouldn't be asking him for computer advice again if I were you.

1. RX 6700 XT 12GB VRAM - 422 USD​

This is definitely the card that I would recommend. It's a whopping 33% faster than the RTX 3060 but only costs an extra 6%. You're more than safe with 12GB of VRAM at 1080p and your frame rates will be through the roof. The RX 6700 XT is easily the best of your listed choices.

I agree, but of the three, the 7700xt would be the best in terms of performance, but not he best value. I wonder how the 7700xt compares to the 3060.

 

[Avro Arrow]

I agree, but of the three, the 7700xt would be the best in terms of performance, but not he best value.

Yes but it's long past the point of diminishing returns for a 1080p gamer. Initially I was going to recommend the RTX 3060 but when I saw that the RX 6700 XT was only $22 more expensive, I went to TPU to check their relative performance and saw that the extra $22 would be perhaps the best $22 that the OP could possibly spend in the tech sector. A 6% increase in price for a 33% increase in performance is a total no-brainer.

The RX 7700 XT is terrible value anyway compared to the RX 7800 XT and would offer no noticeable uplift over the RX 6700 XT at 1080p no matter what settings are used.

Well, that is unless the OP has a 320Hz display.

I wonder how the 7700xt compares to the 3060.

The RX 7700 XT completely obliterates the RTX 3060. Like, they don't even belong in the same sentence. The RX 7700 XT is, on average, 62% faster than the RTX 3060. That's almost triple the performance uplift between the RX 7900 XTX and RTX 4090.

In his defence we were only discussing two cards at that time, the rtx and the 7800 xt, but he still viewed benchmarks and picked it, so you are correct. He also is massively locked in the nvidia camp

Maybe this is obvious but I might as well hear you out, could you see any issues with this card in my usual setup which is: I have three monitors where my primary of course runs the game I play etc. while I play single player games like The Witcher 3 I like to watch a documentary or such on the second monitor, and sometimes a live feed from the UN (I am a political science nerd sorry). Would the 6700x handle that smoothly? I don’t see why not as my 1080 ti did.

And on the last note, as mentioned I haven’t looked at hardware for well over 3 years, so my list was my best guesses from searches. What GPU would you pick for 1080p gaming in the range of 300-600 USD? Note that the danish market is a little higher than the US, so expect about a 40-60 USD increase on my end most likely.

I solely use 1080p and all three monitors are 144 Hz I am considering to change my primary/middle monitor when I am done with my Master’s next summer for a monitor above 200Hz and with a panel suites for 1440p. So while it is not a must, I am slightly considering buying a card which can do that. On the other end, I am also debating to buy a cheaper card now, and then be able to go all out in a couple years for a top tier card.

 

[ohio_buckeye]

As far as a bang for the buck card today I say get the 6700xt. It may be more of a 1440p card now but I would say that if you look the 5700xt was sort of like that as well. Pretty good for 1440p in it’s day but is a few years old now and still a pretty decent 1080p card I think. So I’d say for the money I think the 6700xt will tide you over. By the time you get to where you are wanting the nicer monitor more than likely you’ll want a new card anyway. And to get the level of performance you are talking at least 500-1000 dollars for upper mid to higher tier cards. Which those are overkill for 1080p. Plus you start hearing rumblings about an nvidia 5090, you don’t know at what point in the next couple of years they’ll drop another new generation. So I’d say if cost is a thing, get the value for money option, then you can upgrade the monitor and see what the landscape looks like in a year or 2.

Noobs buy by brand, experts buy by spec. So yeah, he doesn't know as much as he thinks he does. He recommended the RTX 4060 Ti, a card that has been horribly panned by every tech expert out there over the RX 7800 XTX, a card that has been called the best value card of its generation and a card that just destroys the RTX 4060 Ti. Hell, the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB got slaughtered by the RX 6800 XT (a card that itself loses to the RX 7800 XT).

I'm not one of those "trust me bro" losers. I can always back-up what I say. Here's a video from Steve Walton of Hardware Unboxed fame, widely considered to be one of best hardware testers on Earth, comparing the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB with the RX 6800 XT. This is to demonstrate just how delusional your friend is (so that you won't follow his "advice" in the future and screw yourself over):

Again, remember that your friend recommended the RTX 4060 Ti over the RX 7800 XT, a card that beats the RX 6800 XT pretty much across the board. What do you think of the RTX 4060 Ti now?

Maybe this is obvious but I might as well hear you out, could you see any issues with this card in my usual setup which is: I have three monitors where my primary of course runs the game I play etc. while I play single player games like The Witcher 3

I played Witcher III on an R9 Fury (a card about as fast as an old RX 590). You can run that game just fine with anything at or above the R9 Fury's level (basically GTX 1070 and above). I also own an RX 6800 XT (which is a bit slower than the RX 7800 XT) and I didn't upgrade because I felt like my RX 6800 XT wasn't fast enough. I upgraded because I foresee another GPU shortage, even worse than the last one and I wanted a 24GB card to "ride out the storm" so to speak. If newegg.ca didn't have my card as an open-box special for $200 off, I wouldn't have bought it regardless, I would've waited. However, keep in mind that I game on a 4K display and that means I need top-level cards.

I like to watch a documentary or such on the second monitor, and sometimes a live feed from the UN (I am a political science nerd sorry). Would the 6700x handle that smoothly? I don’t see why not as my 1080 ti did.

I haven't heard of any problems with multi-monitor setups like that with Radeon cards. In fact, the YouTube channel Graphically Challenged deliberately switched from an RTX 4090 to an RX 7900 XTX because he was getting issues with nVidia.

Then he followed-up with another video three months later:

What GPU would you pick for 1080p gaming in the range of 300-600 USD? Note that the danish market is a little higher than the US, so expect about a 40-60 USD increase on my end most likely.

Not to worry, I'm not an American so I don't think in USD myself. I would say that, for 1080p gaming, there would be no reason to spend anywhere close to $600USD regardless of where you live. The RX 7800 XT would be way overkill for 1080p gaming.

I'm not going to bother with the price in USD because it's irrelevant to you. I'd much rather show you something that's priced in Danske Kroner than in Dollars. For 1080p gaming, you'd be just fine for a very long time with only paying 2940DKK. Take a look at this:
Sapphire RX 6700 XT Pulse 12GB - 2940DKK at Føniks

That is the absolute most that I would recommend for 1080p because the RX 6700 XT is primarily a 1440p card (which is why it has 12GB of VRAM instead of only 8). Its performance at 1080p is nothing short of breathtaking. As I always say though, you don't have to take my word for it. Here's the evidence for you to make up your own mind:

From TechSpot (Hardware Unboxed):

From TechPowerUp:

At 1080p, this card more than maxxes-out a 144Hz gaming monitor and the 12GB of VRAM mean that you won't have any texturing issues at 1080p in years to come either. Right now, the smartest choice to make is to get a card with more than 8GB of VRAM if you can afford it and the RX 6700 XT is definitely the card to get.

Even if you're getting a 1440p monitor in the future, my recommendation of the RX 6700 XT still stands as your best option, not only of the cards you had in the list, but the best option, period.

Right now, the smartest choice to make is to get a card with more than 8GB of VRAM if you can afford it and the RX 6700 XT is definitely the card to get.

I apologize for the late reply, my dog had to undergo urgent surgery :-(

I did watch the reviews of the 4060 before posting and had pretty much written it off too. But it nice to hear that it was the correct idea.

Thanks a lot for your kind advice, it will be the 6700 xt!

Oh no... I hope your dog is alright. I've had several dogs in my life and I know how worried you must be.

Yeah, unless you need CUDA, nVidia just isn't worth it for gamers these days.

I'm very glad I could help (I hate seeing people get fleeced).

As an aside, in case you're not already aware of it, you should use DDU to remove your previous driver package before installing the Radeon driver package.
