I have been thinking about getting a new PC for some time, and if I do get one I would also get a new monitor, and so on.
The reason I am unsure is that I am far behind on games that are demanding. I still have not gotten to play Nier: Automata, Sekiro, Terminator: Resistance, Outer Worlds, Marvel's GotG, to name some that I plan to play at some point.
I have a 1070 now, which has been more, than enough to handle anything so far.
Even though prices have been going down, and might go down even further, the 30XX cards are still pretty expensive, and I don't see that I would really need one.
RTX also does not look like it's worth spending so much on a VGA.
So I could stick with what I have, as there are still many games for me to get to that runs just fine on the 1070, or maybe get a 2070 for example. With 40XX coming out and 30XX cards going down in price the 2070 might not be a worthwhile investment, even if I keep every other part of the PC.
Any thoughts?
I’ve got a 3060 I’m pretty happy with, thinking about going up to a 70 or 80ti eventually, but I can’t really justify it. If all you care about is 1080p 60fps like me then you really don’t need to break the bank on a graphics card, the vast majority of people on Steam still use 1060s.
As others in this thread have said ports have been so shittily optimized lately that you’re gonna have problems no matter what. My friend has a 4080 and Wo Long ran just as shitty on his rig as it dis on mine. Idk what your budget looks look like but If you want a little future-proofing than I think a 30- might be a good idea, they’re only gonna go down in price. Springing for a 40 definitely isn’t worth it right now.
If I go for a 30XX at all, I will probably get the 3070, and will get an 5070 or 6070 when those are years old.
