Which of the new graphics cards will you get?

[PersonAndStuff]

Which of the new graphics cards do you think this will you get? Obviously there are other threads currently discussing these cards but, let's face it, these threads are breeding grounds for hype where everyone is amassing an army 3090s to keep the bad graphics away. Time to poll the Joe Six-packs of Era.

I myself am oscillating between the 3070 and 3080. Part of me is saying "Just get the 3070, it's more than enough for you, you've survived fine with a 480 for a long time." And the other part is "Fuck yeah, let's overkill the shit out of your pc this time. You deserve it."

For poll purposes, if you're waiting for a TI version, just vote for the original.

 

[Heysoos]

3080 baybeeeeeeeeeee. Was initially thinking of 3090 but since that's more of a Titan replacement and not a 80Ti replacement, I'll just go for the 3080 for now.

 

[Juice]

I want to buy the 3080, but I have no hope of snagging one

 

[dmr87]

3080, maybe a Ti or Super version if that's in the cards around new year/Q1.

 

[RockmanBN]

3080 and I'll use that until I need to build a new computer.

 

[NattyBo]

I mean, this is going to be overwhelming 3080, not sure what the point of the poll is other than rubbing it in (I'm getting a 3080)

 

[Keikaku]

3080 if AMD doesn't deliver with big navi.

Come join us in the Nvidia thread. We post updates on everything, and most of us have pre-orders, even though they're officially not allowed by Nvidia.

 

[TaySan]

I have a pre order for the 3090.

$1994.42 i'm hoping i can find another one though.

 

[Theiea]

Waiting on what AMD shows before I make a decision.

 

[m_shortpants]

3080 but I have no idea how to get one

 

[lucebuce]

Gonna be targeting 1080p so it's a 3060 for me.

 

[panama chief]

i got $2k put aside for a 3090. Looking for either a Trio or Strix, top of the line. but i really just want a Founders Edition please. its so beautiful.

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

3080 minimum.

I am standing by to see what the performance differences are between the 3080 and 3090 because I have been tempted for a long time to finally just go full on no-compromise build next time I put a desktop together. Assemble the best gaming-focused parts into a build that are available at the time that I decide to buy in.

That time might be around this time next year (not right at the launch of the 3000 series RTX GPUs), and I imagine the 3080 and 3090 will still be the best gaming-focused options available at that time. The 3090 will have to be a significant performance boost over the 3080 at the price it's at, though.... like 40-50% boost minimum. Otherwise, the 3080 will be just fine, or a 3080 Ti if one is released by this time next year and is priced somewhere neatly between the base 3080 and 3090.

 

[Bundy]

3080

 

[RCSI]

I have a MSI 3080 on pre order already, though its evga I want.

 

[Creepy Woody]

I voted 3080 but I'm really going to wait a little bit to see if there is a Super version. I want my next card to last a really long time, so I'll wait to see if one comes out with more VRAM.
I'm still on a 1070 and its fine but just starting to age. 8GB was plenty back then, only 2GB more for the 80 version 2 gens later is ridiculous.

 

[Venatio]

3070 for me. Spending $500 on a video card is kind of my limit.

 

[gameguy682]

i have the money aside for the 3090, but i can't justify spending that when the 3080 is that much lower. That said, I'm most likely going to wait for a FE 3080 with more than 10GB of VRAM (or a Ti/Super variant) before I upgrade. Worse case is that I get the next cycle in 2 years.

 

[RoboitoAM]

RIP AMD according to the poll so far.

3080 here

 

[Slick Butter]

might end up with a 3080 but still holding out to see what BIG navi is all about

 

[blitzblake]

whats adequete for next gen 1080/120? 3070?

3070 is more than fine for 1080P.

 

[TheMadTitan]

I'm leaning closer to 3070, but might flip for a 3080. I'm sure AMD will have something for ray tracing on the next cards, but if they reveal they have a DLSS analog, I might go for one of theirs.

Nvidia gets a bonus for both DLSS and their OpenGL support being better, which I need for emulators.

 

[MattB]

3080. Amd will not have enough to top it until they get a handle on gpus maybe next year.

 

[TaySan]

RIP AMD according to the poll so far.

I just don't see AMD having anything to answer for the 3090 or even the 3080. 3070 for sure, but I would love to be wrong of course.

 

[iceblade]

Hovering between a 3060 and a 3070. I'd like the 3070, but I don't think I'll need as much power as that, so that makes me a bit hesitant, especially since I don't tend to spend that much on a graphics card. The performance, though, makes it seriously tempting...

I'm just going to wait for the 3060 reviews to decide then jump on one of the two.

 

[shintoki]

Either 3060 or 3080.

 

[Mechaplum]

Might wait for 4xxx, unless 4K VR MSFS requires me to upgrade.

 

[Ryuelli]

3070 for sure. I'm not too interested in 4k and have 2 1080p monitors right now. I might upgrade them to 1440p at some point, but until then I just want to get as much power at 1080p as I can, but I feel like a 3080 and 3090 would be overkill. I'm on a 1060 6gb right now.

 

[Polyh3dron]

I'm going for a 3090 FE and an EK water block to slap on it.

I don't see any way AMD can compete with DLSS or Nvidia's second generation raytracing tech.

 

[xir]

want to see how 3070 runs cyberpunk

 

[RivalGT]

Nothing for me this round, I'll be waiting for the 3080 Ti. I'm planning on building my nextgen build next year, so waiting won't be an issue for me. The current cards seems like really good value (except the 3090)for high end GPUs, much more so than the 2000 series cards.

 

[beelulzebub]

Got a 2080ti. Knowing that it's more or less matching the 3070 I think bodes alright for me until the next GPU cycle.

 

[RoboitoAM]

I just don't see AMD having anything to answer for the 3090 or even the 3080. 3070 for sure, but I would love to be wrong of course.

It's their own fault for not showing anything until AFTER the launch of 3080/3070. AMD marketing strikes again.

 

[petethepanda]

I have a 2070, and while I'm really tempted by the 3080, I usually swing back to playing more console games than PC games at the start of a new console generation, and I'm almost certainly going to be best served waiting until the next round. I still have a 60hz 1080p monitor, too, so that's probably the reasonable upgrade before a new card.

 

[Pottuvoi]

Ps5 will drain enough money and play time.
May upgrade PC later if need arises, it is enough for fooling around with graphics for now.

 

[Massicot]

Probably a Strix 3090.

 

[exodus]

2070S is fine for now. Runs everything I throw at it fairly well. My 6700K is my bottleneck.

Not looking to upgrade anytime soon though. Value is tremendously bad for PC hardware right now. $499 consoles are a steal by comparison.

 

[GMM]

RTX 3080, but it's unfortunate that it's only 10gb VRAM but the noticeable asking price of the RTX 3090 is likely driven by the extreme amount of VRAM since the raw performance increase over the 3080 doesn't seem that big.

I don't see a point in waiting to see what AMD offers even if they can match the 3080 in price and rasterized performance, mature DLSS and raytracing implementations makes NVIDIA's offerings extremely attractive at the current price points.

 

[III-V]

AMD late to announce by then already everyone has a 3070/80 that wanted to upgrade.

 

[Duxxy3]

I'm sticking with my 1080p 144hz monitor, so I'm looking at a 3070. The 3080 seems like overkill for that monitor.

 

[Tagyhag]

3080 for sure. I might go with STRIX again because they've been good to me but we'll see how the landscape is looking like in a year or two.

 

[Suedemaker]

3090 unless AMD does something crazy. As much as I've loved my 1080, there was that part of me that wished I waited for the 1080Ti. It'll probably be the last thing I get for my new PC though. Really waiting on Ryzen 4000 and I can live with the performance gains on my 1080 until prices come down/ availability comes up

 

[Tahnit]

I honestly havent decided if im just gonna stick with my 2080 super for now or upgrade to a 3080. I need to see benchmarks first.

 

[Human Resources]

i'll look at some Ti benchmarks, but no promises

 

[Ayirek]

Aiming for 3070 but if benchmarks show the 3080 is worth the extra 200 wingwangs then so be it.

 

[Radec]

Seeing how many are going to jump on the 3080 even the miners, I'll hold off first until next year.

 

[-COOLIO-]

3080 unless amd throws up something even more absurd.

i'm kinda hopiing that the amd cards attract the miners by having better price/perf in general and not having the rtx hardware fluff so that the nvidia stuff doesnt sell out.

 

[silva1991]

3070. I'll be targeting 1440 at best.
