Poll: What will be your 3 main factors for deciding on your next GPU?

[TNA]

That's a different product plebski. Tell me when you see a single can on the shelf for 30p.

It is still coca cola. Less then 30p a can

Not to be sold separately. So you just ignore the message on it.
I remember when a wham bar was 10p...

No, I buy them bulk. £6.50 for 24. Right now at Tesco

Based on the results of this poll, I'm surprised AMD gfx are not selling better.

Lol. This will probably blow your mind, but I actually don't drink coca cola anymore. I also did get what you meant in your original comment but wanted to just wind you up

 

[Nitefly]

I’m not sure what’s worse.

- Endless baseless 50 series rumours.

- Endless lack of any news whatsoever.

They need to hurry up and get on with it! There can’t be many people opting for 4090s at this point.

Yes, that's why I don't get wound up because I know you're always trying to

You'd be surprised. @Kelt got one somewhat recently

Didn't seem immune in your replies

 

[Mr_Sukebe]

For me:
- cost
- VRAM (DCS likes a LOT of VRAM)
- performance in VR (apparently the difference between Nvidia and AMD GPUs is more pronounced in VR

 

[adam98150]

Cost and physical size. Mostly gone the nvidia route too as that's what I know best. Usually buy second hand too!

That's what we call hopium. You were interpreting text as me being wound up because that's what you wanted in reality. I'm sat here in my pants, drinking tea and playing Warcraft.

FTFY

Cost and performance increase compared to my current card. I'm currently looking at a 4070TI Super as an upgrade on my 3060TI, PC isn't my main platform for all gaming so I don't need the really top end.

1 Price

2 Performance

3 Power

 

[Mallers]

Cost for me. I cant afford to keep changing so itll be the absolute best can afford and ill make it last for many years (im still using a 980!)

 

[Freddie1980]

Bump time.

A lot has changed since 2022:

- RT adoption rate exploding and exceeding expectations especially with seeing more RT only games and nearly every dev jumping to UE 5
- rdna 3 power efficiency claims ending up being a wet fart
- amd coming out with FG which is arguably up there with DLSS FG when implemented well as well as having a driver injection method and of course mods and other 3rd party options
- upscaling improvements for both camps
- titles launching in a much better state over the last year especially on vram optimisation front
- nvidia launching new features such as ray reconstruction, RTX HDR and AMD with FMF, anti lag

So I'm wondering if people have changed their mind now (can change vote in poll) and for reference, this is how the poll looks as of Aug 2024:

To much legacy data, you'd be better off doing a fresh poll rather then comparing the results to the previous poll.

Valid point.

Maybe do a new thread when 50xx/rdna 4 comes out.

 

[Double07]

You don't remember too far back then, as I can get a pack of 24 for £6.50 from Tesco

24 cans of full fat, real coke, for 6.50 my backside.
