Just buy whenever you like. If it's time for you it's time for you. Don't worry yourselves over if it's the right time. I bought a 3090 fe at 1400 and I don't regret it in any way at all! It's a fantastic and powerful card that will power my rig for a long while yet

Yes but you need to preorder it (also who knows how long before they actually appear

, I have a feeling some of these preorder prices will never appear in stock at these prices too), I did add it in the edit

, I forgot to add it in before posting.

I can get 3070ti founder on Nvidia for £550 would I see a big different from the 980ti?

Yes but as you know can't mention competitors

. Basically he has an idea now what is acceptable prices on each card model mentioned and for the nice quality ones.

Over double the performance, think of it as a 2080ti OC model, 3060ti is basically double the performance of a 980ti.

Yes, even an overclocked 980 Ti, the 3070 Ti will always be at least 2x the performance.. without looking at benches at 1440p/4k it's around 2.5x the perf.

Would it be good for 1440p 165Hz for warzone?

What do benchmark tests say,there'll be a number online I'm sure. I have a 3070 ill test warzone later. Yes 3070 slower but if I can get it then it's defo. I'll try different settings at 1440p

Founders 3070 ti is a no brainer if you can get it.

Exactly mate.

Recently, I went from a 980Ti to a 3070 and although I haven't really let it stretch its GPU legs yet,
I can still see a big performance uplift in titles.

i have a 3070 and it achieved max 135hz @ 1440p with lowest settings. So not sure if 3070ti will..

If you want 1440p 165fps average, max & RT settings in warzone you will need something like a Radeon 6950xt (this video should show 1080, 1440 and 4k in warzone on the card, but he seems to have forgotten to change the title of the resolution from 1080p to 1440p in the top right when he changed to 1440p) https://youtu.be/6cATxEEs7wg?t=422
If you want to save money just buy a 3070ti, turn down the settings and enjoy the game

They might just put that down to 2 new generations of cards coming out soon so people would rather wait for them

Apart from people who hang around the rumour mills most won’t be aware of the new cards launching.

JGF111 · 22 Aug 2022 at 00:11

Just wait for another 4-6 weeks. You certainly dont need next gen cards for 1440p, 3080/6800XT card will be plenty for that, but they will continue dropping in price over the next month. Worst case scenario is that somehow they sell out and then you just buy a lower tier 40x0 or 7x00.

From what I read is the Warzone is a bit CPU limited

I think OP would definitely see improvement upgrading his graphic card from the 980ti, but the chances are for Warzone in particular something like even a 3070 will not get 100% usage due to CPU bottleneck caused by the game itself.
