sorted byShould be similar if not slightly better performance than this, an extra 2gb VRAM, DLSS 3 and frame gen tech and running at lower wattage.
Even that is still overpriced IMO.
Most of what you just put is yester year hearsay imo. I have a rtx 3070 got it for £300 about a year ago. Faff and twiddling settings? These sort of things take seconds these days. I have a 1440p 144hz monitor. When I get a new game on pc these days. The game auto detects my GPU and applies the recommended settings. I start the game if it's running close to 144hz then no need to change settings. If it's at say 60-90 I'll then quickly make a few changes to improve the FPS that's close to that 144hz. But at the end of the day as long as the game is above 60 am happy.
The whole "it will be obsolete in a year" is just complete nonsense in my opinion. Plenty of people are still getting good use out of 1080s and 980 ti. Going by steam hardware survey. Most steam users use 1650s.
I just built last week my partner a pc for less than £400 that has a RTX 2060 Super and a Ryzen 4500. So far perfect for 1440p.
As I said earlier if you enjoy your games then personally getting a PS5 and a PC is the way to go. Considering PC not only has many of exclusives you also get access to Xbox gamepass as well so it eliminates the need for a Xbox.
In other words, a 10GB 3080 at 600 quid is an absolute joke unless purchased for purely CUDA work- but if this form of computation is important to you, you'd easily pay up for a 4090.
I wouldn't buy the 10GB 3080 for 400- the VRAM has no future and the power efficiency of the GPU is horrible.
Despite what many say here, the mid-end is becoming a buyer's market, and there is going to be a price war between AMD and Nvidia in this sector. The 4070 is going to end up (within months) a lot cheaper than many of you expect. The 7800XT is going to be priced 'to go' unlike the 7900XT. The issue is the massive stocks of the previous generation, which have similar performance (at worse power efficiency), and similar feature sets. If you are paying over 500 quid, your card should have 16GB+ of VRAM to be worth it. 12GB is for cards significantly below 500. 10GB or less should be well below 300.
Second hand 3090s with 24gb can be had for similar price...
Unless you have a boner for RTX and Nvidia then this is not even remotely a good deal when the AMD offerings give you much more vram and are significantly cheaper.
Of course the reason they are pricing this so high still is to make the 4070 look good value.
£600 for a GPU with 10GB VRAM that is EOL is insanity. (edited)
If I was GPU-less right now, I'd go with AMD for one of their 16GB models and just muddle along with FSR instead of DLSS - in motion they're not hugely different, and improvements are getting made all the time.
