Upgrade time

[dmsims]

Currently RX480, going to upgrade monitor to a larger 4K

Max £300

Don't mind red or green

sorry to ask but I have no idea what's going on in the market

your looking at mid range cards

Nvidia
xx60

AMD
X6XX

both of which are getting imminent refreshes. nvidia 3060 is waiting 3070 to release to end & for AMD to announce there x6xxx card this month

wait till the end of the month for new gen cards. if you need to buy now your looking at 2060/5600xt

please reviews reviews and make you own choice, i wont influence your decision

 

[dmsims]

Thanks for the advice - I can wait and given the timescales I think I will

Problem is, they've totally botched the launch of the new generation. Doubt you will get one this year.
Maybe better off picking up something second hand from the members market.

Only the 3080/3090 are botched, rest will likely be fine.

 

[P.B]

Second hand 2080 ?

 

[something daft already!!]

Second hand 2080 ?

That's nearer 600

 

[P.B]

2080tis are going for 500 so would like to think they are round 300 as 3070 will be 2080ti+ for 450 ?

once the 3070/3060 are here they will be £300. but for now with no 3080 stock anywhere people are still trying to sell for maximum

 

[P.B]

Probably best waiting then

 

[Xyclops]

Why are people paying so much for these 2080s? They can't wait a little longer or somehow they don't know about the 3000 series?

 

[IvanDobskey]

Second hand 2080 or 2070 super would be where I'd spend £300 currently.

amd cards should be fine and well within budget. wait...a few days see how they fair. last thing id be doing is buying a dear 2000 series card only to find out in weeks is a newer amd card which is cheaper and better.

 

[dmsims]

Thank you all for the advice

I have just picked up a EVGA 1080 Ti Hybrid FTW3 for £240 with 11gb Vram it handles all my games at 4k perfectly fine... but yea wait in till the end of the month let AMD show their cards and Nvidia will no doubt react..

OP
Personally I’d advise you saving up whilst you wait and getting something better - but it’s your call
But it will be weeks and weeks until you get the card - even if you ordered it now, save up a bit bud you’ll be glad you did

2080ti prices dropped when the 3080 was announced but have since gone back up due to short supply of 3080
