My GTX780Ti has given up the ghost...

...what do I replace it with?

I have a 4770K running at 4.5GHz and game at 1440P. Don’t really play the latest titles these days but would like it to be reasonably capable if I were to.

I read that there’s a new batch of cards due from both sides fairly soon, but I also see that graphics cards these days are eye-wateringly expensive!

How soon are the new cards due, and should I wait? If I do wait, or don’t wait, what’s a decent place to put my money?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

What sort of budget do you have?

If you check the second hand market you can pick up an RX580 for cheap and it'd be a good card to tide you over for the new releases, the Members Market often has some good deals.

Thanks! Budget is flexible, but I don’t want to spend the insane amount that the current top end cards seem to command, that’s for sure! Gone are my days of having the latest games where I need ultimate GPU performance.

I was expecting to spend between £250-500, but would hope to get many years service out of it (as I have rom the present setup). I’m also not averse to pre-owned cards as people upgrade but I’m very out of touch with all of the latest hardware so I’m not sure what’s good and what’s not these days.

Thanks for the help so far.

I’ve put a bid on an 8GB RX580 on the ‘bay and will see what happens. If I don’t win it then I’ll look into some of the other options.

You'd probably get a better deal by putting a request in via the Members Market part of the forums.

Maybe, I’ve put in the max I’m prepared to pay and I’ll either get it for that (or less) or I won’t. I’ll just see what happens...few days without a PC will probably do me good!!!

Well, the ebay RX580 went for more than I was prepared to pay so I just ordered the 2070 Super linked above.

I'm so easily swayed into spending money, but hopefully (like the last one) this will last me a good few years.

Thanks all for the help.

It's a cracking card, enjoy! Almost want to get one myself but figured I'll just wait another 2 months for new ones.

I don’t mind being a few days without a PC, but not sure I could cope with 2 months! I’ll see what launches at a similar price point and maybe quickly flip the new card for minimal loss then...let’s wait and see!

I'd certainly recommend a used 1070 for a 780ti replacement, I went this same route and the results were impressive especially given I ran @ 5760x1080 surround.

I certainly wouldn't be spending too much given the next Gen supposedly is with us around September time....

I weighed up my choices and given I needed something quickly I plumped for a 2070S.

I’ll see what the new range has to offer in September and maybe upgrade again then...
