Hello,
I am aiming to upgrade to a RTX 3080 or RTX 3070. Never had a chance of getting the 3080 FE on launch but maybe the 3070 will be different and the price is pretty good considering I spent more than double that on my current card just last year. I currently have a MSI GTX 1080 Ti Duke OC. I am looking at specs and I am wondering how big of a performance increase I would see? I play on a 1440p 144Mhz monitor. I can record and game at 1440p just fine and play most games on Ultra graphic settings. I get great temps on the card. Anyways, I was looking at some basic specs for the new RTX cards and then came across some comparisons.
MSI 1080ti Duke 11GB OC vs Zotac RTX 3070
MSI 1080ti Duke 11GB OC vs RTX 3080
Below are the RTX specs from Toms Hardware. Of course this may change somewhat with the release of custom cards. And the comparisons could be BS but it seems that the boost clock speed is about the same. The new RTX cards have more CUDA cores and are running GDDR6/6X. Memory interface on the 3080 is 320 bit with 256 bit on the 3070. Lower than my 1080ti although I have no idea what that even means. It seems like I would see a slight bump in performance but the biggest advantage would be with ray tracing and the ability to play on 4k? I posted my system specs at the very bottom. I just switched over from SATA SSD to NVME PCIe 3.0 x 4. Just wondering if anyone can tell me what the primary benefits would be of upgrading to a 3080 or 3070. Would I need to go to the 3080 for it to be worth switching or will the 3070 provide a decent boost...enough boost to justify upgrading. I started with a 1050ti a while back and an i5 processor. My computer was originally a budget build as I just got back into gaming and slowly I have upgraded it to the point its at now.
My monitor doesn't support those resolutions anyway..
