Depends what you have now. I have a GTX970 and an iPhone 11 Pro so I’d get the graphics card.
But then my motherboard wouldn’t run the card I don’t think. So I’d get the phone.
Ultimately I’d not get either and go on holiday.
 
surely depends what you want / need.
personally i refuse to spend over £150 - (maybe £200 absolute tops) on a phone, its a utility device and essentially anything over £100 can do everything i would ever want and more.

OTOH as a gamer and it being my primary hobby i dont mind going above and beyond on a gpu. So despite having a cheaper phone (moto G8 power) i have a rtx 3090 gpu (not buying a 4090 either mind you)

truth is i would not buy a top of the line gpu any more either........ i only got a 3090 as i knew i had a good chance of coving its cost mining. that is no longer the case however

Needs more info. What phone do you currently have and what is the spec of your current PC?
 
Depends if I had a phone or a card already. As an iPhone 12 Max Pro user, I don't need a phone upgrade. If I had been the owner of a 3xxx series GPU, I wouldn't get a 4xxx. Hard to really do a poll on this.

So much for saving the planet. :p
 
You do realise you have asked this question on a computer forum not a mobile phone forum?

Think it's safe to say gfx will get most votes, especially compared to an IFail

i cant control what other do, only what i did....... The only waste from gpu mining on my gaming pc is heat, the gpu ittself, well i wanted a nice one anyway and was unable to get hold of a 3080... i needed that heat anyway in winter as it kept my home office warm(ish) whilst i wfh. - thanks to that i didnt need to use my electric heater altho still needed a water bottle on occaison. i also dried clothes in there over night.

in the summer months, it was powered via solar (and when it got too hot i stopped)

so personally my conscience is clear ;)

***perhaps not, maybe that is just man maths to justify it... but either way i got a free 3090 and still didnt use more energy than previous years.
