What's your upgrade target?

6900XT, purchased today.

It's the perf level I wanted from next gen but the 6900XT thanks to OCUK is at the right price level.

Ultrawide 1440 gaming at 80 fps or so at high settings in cyberpunk. For under 700 quid.

Going to be waiting a while

Up until last month I was still rocking a 1080 Ti.
For a decent uplift I was looking at getting the 3080 for a 80-90% uplift.

Then the 4090 came round and wrecked everything

Fire hazards will do that

It's ok, I've added an AIO rad to the top to act as a sprinkler system

My VR sim rig does almost everything I want, but my 3080Ti can't quite handle my HP Reverb with night racing. I am looking at a 4090 or 7900XTX to run night races at proper 150% SS.

I'm kind of in no man's land though. Night racing isn't something I do much, and the required horspower is just a huge jump over what it takes to run day-time graphics.

So I'm looking at spending a lot of money for performance I will rarely use.

The conundrum has kept my FOMO in check though, so I'm not in a hurry this gen.

What is your target and what card would you have to upgrade to to see that uplift over your current one?

Whatever i can get for under £500 this BF/CM as I've been running a RX 570 4GB as a replacement for a broken card for 3 years now.

I usually like to pay <£200, But with the last card I spent a bit more just as I was mining. Vega 64, most likely scenario is to sell this and buy a 5600G CPU and game on that. I don't really play much any more. Just dark souls and some simulator games (car mechanic, pc building)

 

[welshrat]

Still really happy with my 6800 but likely to go 7900 middle to end of next year if a good deal pops up.

A 100% increase in the performance target sounds all well and good but when upgrading from a Pascal card that is still propping up benchmark tables, why settle for that when up to 8x performance can be gained if going for the extreme 4090.A realistic middle ground 4x performance junp would be the maximum for my budget limit and that is more than enough and then some @ 1080p/60fps for the Dead Space, RE4 and Silent Hill 2 remakes coming in 2023.

You could sell your Vega 64 for £180 - add another £190 on top of that and you could get yourself a brand new 3060 Ti FE (which it sounds like, would last you a long time).

Definitely high maintenance!

This is the exact sort of move I'd been considering. Sell the Vega add a couple of hundred toward it.

Well my 6700XT is serving me just fine.. I would need to get around 100% for the same money I paid for my 6700XT before I would consider it and I don't think RDNA3 will be able to offer that but RDNA4 will I'm pretty sure. I'm in the market for a better monitor first before anything else as my current MSI MAG274QRF IPS monitor has some serious issues with some of the darker transitions. Current plan is upgrading to 3440x1440 and ride on my 6700XT for as long as possible with the help of FSR 2.0 and then maybe, if needed, settle for RDNA4 unless nvidia becomes more consumer friendly the price to performance bracket, but who am I kidding. Not buying anything if prices are idiotic, no matter the vendor.
