Gfx Card upgrade. Please

[Oddney]

Updated my post mate, it covers that bit.

There's really nothing worth moving to that offers a legitimate jump in performance, there's a bit of a no mans land between the 9070XT/5070TI/5080 and the 5090 unfortunately.

I believe BF6 absolutely loves the extra L3 in X3D CPU's, you might well be better off getting the 9070XT + one of the AM5 X3D variants over any other GPU upgrade, you could sell your 7600 to help offset costs. I would look into this more however, I don't know much about BF6 outside of third party comments so I'd be certain before going to the hassle of a CPU

thank all i have now ordered the card. i look forward to gaming on it when it arrives PS free shipping

Good choice! Be sure to let us know how you get on.

Remember to remove your old Nvidia drivers before installing the new card, Windows is pretty good with that sort of thing now but it's still worth doing just in case.

how long will this card last age wise please.

I'd agree with what Gray2233 said, it'll be fine for 3-5 years at 1440p, but if you're not hard on your settings and don't always play AAA games there's no reason it couldn't last for longer.

That said, newer AAA games can be pretty tough on even high-end cards, so there's always a possibility a new game will come out that makes you sad

BF6 is apparently one of those games that benefits from X3D CPU.

My advice would be 7800X3D with a 9070xt and worry about graphics cards next year when we have 6080 GPU's.

The 5080 Super will be 1st or second quarter next year and overpriced at £1200 plus yet within 6 months of release of Supers we will see the new 6000 series.

Hardly worth paying the premium or getting into debt for.

I myself had thought of waiting for the 5080 Super, I even bought a temporary 9060xt 16gb GPU, but ended up buying the 9070xt anyway.as this time next year we will have better AMD cards than the 5080 Super for half the price probably.

5070 super with 18gb. I’m expecting this to be around £800 and to stay relevant for some time. I think this card will have enough about it for resolutions of 5k or less. It’s should also be reasonably efficient and well under the power draw of the current 5080 16gb. I’d only look cards with 24 gigabytes and above for running monitors with massive resolutions like 7680x2160.

i will get a Better cpu which one would be best please, and i will save for the new cards sometime next year. its a pricey game this.

@sastusbulbas recommended the 7800X3D. Selling your 7600 may help you with funding the new CPU if needed.

https://www.techspot.com/review/3043-battlefield-6-cpu-benchmark/ covers BF6 benchmarks for CPUs in particular. Worth reading that article, but just to quote some information from their 1080p 'overkill' preset section:

Our 7800X3D was unavailable because we lent it to another reviewer, but it is generally around 10% slower than the 9800X3D. That means it should achieve at least 170 fps in this test, making it roughly 13% faster than the 7600X3D, which aligns with expectations.

Combining benchmarks from performance reviews always confuses me, but if I'm reading that right, you could expect a 7600 to hit 100 FPS overall (including 1% lows) at 1080p.

But, you need more like a 9070 to hit 100 fps at 1080p (highest settings) in TPU's GPU testing.

Sooo..., for the OP playing at 1440p, I'd expect a GPU to offer better returns to do first? In TPU's testing, the 3070 Ti got 56 fps and the 9070 80 fps (at highest settings again, 1440p).
