What GPU for 1440?

[los]

Whats the best price/performance point at 1440?
The fury nitro is having to have some settings turned down nowadays.
I'm guessing I'll be looking at a 1070/1080 or vega 56/64?
My monitor is an HP envy 32 which has freesync, but I'm not bothered if I use it or not tbh.
As said this is for price/performance, so are the higher ones worth the extra or am I unlikely to notice a difference.
Cheers
Edit
I play a variation of new games btw, hence I haven't stated any.

buying new, that powercolor Vega 56 on sale for £349 with 3 free games is a pretty good buy IMO price / performance: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...6-only-349-99-with-three-free-games.18834436/

May not care about freesync, but is a nice to have IMO. The cooler on that card should keep the 56 running relatively cool and in check. Can see for 1440p in a bunch of benchmarks the card actually does pretty solid (granted slightly different SKU): https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/powercolor_red_devil_vega_56_8gb_review,1.html

There are few 1070ti models which are slightly more which slightly outpace the Vaga 56 by a couple of %, but freesync would swing it and the Vega 56 with that deal seems nicer from price / performance atm. GTX 1080 is a clear step ahead, but more expensive but likely means in more demanding AAA games you can keep more eye candy on without dipping under 60 FPS like the 56 may. Shadow of tomb raider with eye candy notched on and verh high preset sees the 56 (stock I imagine however so throttling) dip to slightly below the 60 mark: https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pag..._graphics_performance_benchmark_review,7.html

This excludes second hand market where you can likely get GTX 1080's for around the £350 - £380 mark however.

Thanks for that. I will likely be going second hand, hence I dismissed the 1070ti as it goes for about the same price as a 1080. No mention of the vega 64 I see. Thanks for the link, its nice to find somewhere with several benchmarks!

For 1440p I would go for a Vega 56 personally. Put the money saved aside to upgrade again in 2 years time.

Oh and Freesync/G-sync does help dude. Tear free without the lag introduced by v-sync is nice. Unless you don’t use v-sync and don’t care about tearing, then it makes no difference at all in terms of lag or smoothness

Vega 56. I've seen a few benchmarks showing the 56 pulling higher fps than the 1080.... New at £349 is a steal.
