Can't wait to see if I can retire my 1080 Ti. Hoping for a 3080 so I can beat XSX ports into submission.
If they launch the ti models simultaneously with the regular 30 series models I'll definitely grab one. Wonder if I should consider upgrading my 8700k as well....
The new amd 600 series is rumored to drop later this year so I'd be more than happy to jump ship to them and pair it with a 3080ti. My setup is just fine but now with cyberpunks delay I'd love to get some new hardware to push it as far as I can.Depends on AMD's schedule with next Ryzen series schedule I would say.
No point going for Intel as their next node is still ways out.
I would imagine 3080 would have a $699 retail price but you wont be able to find it under 8003080 seems like it would be a good pick for my 1440p/144hz display, here's hoping for under $700!
It's gonna be reasonably expensive. Just over 1000.3080 ti better be reasonable or else I'm going to have to settle for the 3080. :/ Pricing is going out of hand.

That's kind of my conundrum as well. My 8700k @ 5ghz is just fine but I know it'll start showing its age sooner or later and I'd rather just get ahead of it and switch to amd since at least they leave room to upgrade your cpu and don't screw you over one generation to the next with their socket changes.I'm little torn on how I would want to upgrade.
If 3080Ti comes out in early 2021 then I may also swap out CPU, but before that? Not sure I would swap out my i7 9700K @ 5GHz just yet.
It's not going to be reasonable.
I mentioned this at the end of the last page but whatever the cards are, if you want high framerates and raytracing etc, we'll more than likely have to upgrade again in a few years anyway. A 3080 should be a decent upgrade till then.
I just don't know what to do about the CPU. I was planning on intel's 10mm as I mostly need very high framerates more than I want high resolution.
I fully expect to have to upgrade again in 2 years tbh if I want 4k60 consistently going into next genThat's kind of my conundrum as well.

Buy the 3080ti. Don't spend over $1000 on a GPU.Ive learned my lesson last time buying one of the other 20 series cards. Just going to wait for the ti model to release. I'm also not willing to spend anymore than $1000 for it.
I'm currently rocking a 34" ultrawide lg at 144hz so I guess resolution isn't the end all be all for me. Although if I grab one of the new LG oleds in the future I may care more about 4k again. Decisions decisions....I fully expect to have to upgrade again in 2 years tbh if I want 4k60 consistently going into next gen
Well I don't have a 4k monitor right now but I expect I'll end up getting one next year maybe (or the year after?)I'm currently rocking a 34" ultrawide lg at 144hz so I guess resolution isn't the end all be all for me.

The longer you wait the cheaper some of the current models will get so its not a bad plan to hold off. Since we can't even push 4k 60 consistently from game to game its not like there's a rush.Well I don't have a 4k monitor right now but I expect I'll end up getting one next year maybe (or the year after?)
tbh I want a new monitor for HDR and a bigger screen more than resolution. My current monitor is 27" 1440p 165hz gsync. I want my next monitor to be 32", have a high refresh rate, support HDR10 and if I'm going all out I might as well get 4k while I'm at it lolThe longer you wait the cheaper some of the current models will get so its not a bad plan to hold off.

I've got a 2017 lg oled that I can use as an alternate display if I want to play in 4k but it doesn't support vrr so I tend to not bother.
Good point. My ultrawide has fake hdr lol I don't even bother with it. I'm pretty sure Asus or one of the other big names just came out with a 4k hdr 144hz panel not that long ago. Even I can't justify dropping like 3 grand on a monitor though loltbh I want a new monitor for HDR and a bigger screen more than resolution. My current monitor is 1440p 165hz gsync.

Yeeeah I'm gonna have to wait for my next monitor to be sub $1000 before I purchase one. Might take a whileGood point. My ultrawide has fake hdr lol I don't even bother with it.

The high refresh rate is for stuff like first shooters where I would just turn down graphics for higher fps. I'd just cap most other stuff to 60We aren't going to be able to do 4K at 120fps+ for a while....it's always better to get native resolution monitors imo. I haven't tried the new scaling though.
Who knows, maybe we get microled monitors in the future.
That's kind of why I want one, and for vrr as well. But trying to buy a house this year idk if I can swing both lolOne benefit of 120fps on the new LG oled (c9 and cX) is they take input lag down to 5-6ms. That's a pretty big upgrade on my c7 which is at 21 ms.

It's not actually, because the slow progress of gaming tech means a 2080 is still going to be a perfectly adequate card until 2022 most likely. The new gen consoles won't suddenly push graphics to leaps and bounds day dot, it takes years for that to happen.
Consoles will be around a 2080 what will be around a 3060 from next series. Is low-mid point. It is not gonna be a card for who wants to push high-ultra @4k. And you will get 2080 perf for 349 or 399 on next series. So it is a waste.It's not actually, because the slow progress of gaming tech means a 2080 is still going to be a perfectly adequate card until 2022 most likely.

Same, but that's okay. I've been on 8GB of DDR3 all generation lolThis is my first case of being caught in between upgrades due to new launches since I started PC gaming

Yeah, we are several years away from running AAA titles in 4K@120 at max settings even without RT. Look at RDR2.Don't forget 4K120 TVs.
4K@120fps + Raytracing = 6080Ti at least
I have a 4K60 monitor already but I just don't want 60fps anymore. It's in storage, has been for a few years.
As someone that will stay at 1080p the foreseeable future a 3060 will be more than enough for me.
when are the next big cpus dropping? I just purchased a 2070s for 1080p and eventually 1440p gamingyou will be CPU bound in a lot of games :P you can super sample with ease.
Right now we don't have fast enough CPU to saturate 2080Ti or even 2080 in most games at 1080p.
I'm expecting the settings to have a noticable bump now that next gen will raise the floor. Especially if devs use more forms of RT than the consoles can handleyou will be CPU bound in a lot of games :P you can super sample with ease.

Assuming 3060 is like 2080 at half the price, you should definitely consider a 1440p monitor. That would be waste on 1080p. If you have like a triple 1080p setup, that could be really good too. It's just way overkill for 1080p, even for nextgen games that are aiming for ~4k on weaker GPUs.

If it is however again the 2080 and especially 2080TI or 2080S will not be bad cards when Ampere releases. I would actually wager if still in production they would be fantastic 2K cards for the right price. Heck I might even get one if big Navi doesn't eventuate to being decent as I'm pretty much done with staying up-to-date on Nvidia with only 1080p gaming (potentially 2K in the future). My 1070 has served me so damn well that it really is hard to upgrade just for some pretty lights looking fancier.Consoles will be around a 2080 what will be around a 3060 from next series.

i7-7700 (non k)New Intel CPUs are rumored, and AMD is later this year. Honestly, though, what's your current system looking like? We're getting close to DDR5, unless you're on a 4c CPU you might wait a little longer.
The hyperthreading gave it legs. I felt compelled to upgrade when the current model numbers were 10x as high tho.Since I am still rocking an ancient i7 870 i wonder if i have the oldest cpu in this thread :)
Intel's Comet Lake 10C/20T will come in May but it's still a 14nm Palm Cove (Skylake) core so it will run hot and won't introduce much besides +2 cores to 9900K. It'll require a new socket/MB too.when are the next big cpus dropping? I just purchased a 2070s for 1080p and eventually 1440p gaming
