Poll: What is your upper limit for your next GPU purchase

[Dirk Diggler]

Don't think i ever bought any high end stuff and thought am getting good value for money
And that not just about high end PC stuff

Not all GPUs are high end (when if Nvidia want us to think they are).

 

[ViRuS2k]

I would be willing to go £1000-£1200 but thats my max and only if it brings home a 3080TI or 3090TI but nothing more. and the only reason im considering getting a new card over my 1080TI is CyberPunk maxed out 4k

 

[FoxEye]

Because these things aren't linear, but more like a curve, I think the options should have been something like:

£200,300,400,500, then 750, 1000, 1400, 2000

I think there will be a lot more condensed (normally) at the lower end, and at the upper end there's really no difference between 1400 and 1650, really.

£250. Would stretch to £300.

This for me.

Op its actually
no no no no, no no there's no limit.
Musically the comma Is in the wrong place

I think you'll find it's;

No no. No n-no no. No n-no no. No n-there's no lim-mate.

God damnit... Who put £2k? YOU'RE the reason nVidia does this

This is an overclocking enthusiasist forum - probably half the people here generally buy high end hardware

 

[Kelt]

Last time around my limit was £400.

Got the MSI Quicksilver 1070 for £380, flogged the game that came with it for £20, so effective cost of £360.

Have reluctantly upped my limit to £500, but that's it.

Will buy a new 3070 (or not, if it's over that or only has 8GB) or a s/h 2080Ti or 2070S for less.

If neither are available I'll wait for the 4 series.

 

[DazQ87]

I'm willing to spend £750-£800 including a waterblock, I won't be buying on launch this round and will wait for both companies to show their hands and for a bunch of waterblocks to be released first, hoping to upgrade around November.

The irony being that nobody overclocks anything any more and the spirit of overclocking is long since dead.

What you mean is this is a high-rollers forum

 

[Dirk Diggler]

This is the perfect theme tune for the quintessential Nvidia "top of the range" connoisseur. It epitomises the era of the now middle aged, ex powder snorting, born again geek.

I overclock everything, ain't no one keeping performance I paid for

 

[Twinz]

It's not just about the price. What I *get* for my money has a direct impact on how much of my money I'm willing to spend. I think something like $10-$12 for every % performance increase over my 1080ti up to the point where I can't see a use for the extra performance.

So my "upper limit" is pretty high, but I'm not going to spend $1200 on a gpu "because best".

 

[Jacky60]

I voted £750, was intending to spend more but recently decided against over feeding the monster really depends on the performance I get from my money. I'd spend more if it could max the latest AAA games all ultra at 60+ 4K but given the 2080ti gives 30-35fps all ultra on MS FS2020 I'm probably going to be disappointed and or going to wait.

 

[willb1967]

£500 this time round.
Not sure how this £500 GPU category will compete with the new consoles.
I think the smart money is on the new consoles for the next couple of years to be honest.

 

[HEADRAT]

I’ll pay around £750 and I’ll probably be going AMD as we need NVIDIA to have a competitor.

 

[tyler_jrb]

Is that Jensen rocking that leather/spandex jacket?

 

[Akagi]

Err, 350 - 400.

So I guess I'll put 500?

 

[Bravetart]

Historically the most I've paid is £650 for my 1080FE...I'd probably double that this time around...which absolutely pains me to say but I generally buy once and buy whatever is the best at the time and that generally lasts me for a good 3-4 years.
