Recommended gpu for 1440p 144hz gaming

[Arclite]

Hi All,

I built a new pc last year (specs are in signature) and bought a 144hz free sync monitor not long ago. I do not think i need to upgrade my cpu just yet but feel that the gpu can use a boost. Any cost effective options here to make some use of the 144hz panel?

The RX580 is a solid card even at 1440p but I am hoping to pump more frames out.

Thanks

What sort of budget do you have in mind? I'd be looking at a 5700 GPU if you want to spend that much

You'd be looking at a 5700 as a bare minimum coming from an RX580 for 1440p/144hz, but I'd recommend spending the extra on a 5700XT.

You can get a blower style 5700 for £250 after cashback or a 5700XT for £300 also after cashback, not the best cooling options in the world but undervolted and with a custom fan curve they should perform admirably.

If you can afford more you're looking at £300 for a 5700 with a decent cooler or £350-375 for a 5700XT with a decent cooler.

I wont try recommending Nvidia since budget seems to be a concern and you've been happy with AMD.

I have a budget of between £300-£400. Not overly keen on going for the RTX cards, doubt i can get any 2070 in that range anyway. So 5700xt will see me a considerable bump over the rx580?

This should give you an idea;

Looks to be generally almost double.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £375.00

Total: £375.00 (includes shipping: £0.00)​

​

With that budget I'd say this is the best card.

Solid cooling solution, longer warranty than most, and said warranty is UK based.

nah, like lots of games won't do ultra 1440p 144hz without a 2080ti.
OP didn't say what games he plays.

You can undervolt a lot of these, to drop heat and maintain a more frequent clockspeed. Very easy to do in AMD Radeon Software.

Ahhhh my bad, I thought he mentioned a budget!! Apologies, just messing around.

Nor did they specify whether they were happy to drop settings for high FPS.

@Grim5 will fund the extra for your 2080Ti.
