Graphics card for 3440x1440 144hz?

[jwilliamson47]

Hi,

I was wondering which graphics card to buy for 3440x1440 at up to 144hz. I know prices are beyond insanity but I've sold two gpus to fund a new purchase. I'm currently seeing the 6900xt in stock but very few 3080s. The 3080tis seem to be at least 500 more than the 6900xt.

I could wait and just play the ps5 until things improve.

Any help would be appreciated.

6900XT here with 3440x1440p and very happy with it.

Excellent I was thinking of getting one as it's about £300 cheaper than the 3080Ti. Not used an AMD card for a long time. No issues with the driver/software package?

The model I'm looking at has the XTXH chip.

6800xt if you can find it well priced I've been using mine for months and it's been incredible

It's nowhere near MSRP but sold my nvidia card close to the 6800XT asking price so it doesn't seem too bad. Honestly, I'm probably fine gaming 60-100hz, so it should last me some time.

I'd imagine at this res and framerate the best you can get for your budget. Have a 2080Ti and have a 3440x1440p 120hz monitor and get some games at 120 just fine and some need to be lowered to medium/high which is really not the worst thing haha

Upon reflection, I can barely tell the difference between 100 and 144hz, so anything which averages 80-100 and doesn't drop under 60 would be ideal!

The 3080Ti would cost me £289 more than the 6900XT. Seems a hefty premium for Nvidia features.

Quick update, managed to narrow it down to two cards. The Nvidia MSI Ventus 3080Ti costs £200 more than the 6900XT Gaming Z. Do you think the nvidia features are worth that extra?

AMD will eventually get an AI upscaler (would be stupid not to), but I don't think the RDNA2 cards will be great at it. Same with RT; as RT becomes more common (and hopefully more effecient), the RDNA2 cards will lag behind. Will also depend on how long you want to keep the card for - unfortunately pricing is terrible at the moment so upgrading at a later date feels painful.

Thanks for the help. I tend to keep my GPU for about 3 years. FSR seems good but the RT performance is lacking.
