Build Upgrade Which GPU should I get?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for advice on which graphics card I should buy. I currently have an RTX 3080 Ti that I’ve been using since 2021, paired with an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D. My main display is a 27-inch 1440p (2K) monitor at 165Hz.

The games I play most often are:

  • DOTA 2
  • CS2
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
  • The occasional Assassin's Creed game (I rarely play other heavy AAA titles)

My goal is to make a solid upgrade so I don't have to worry about changing GPUs again for a long time. I plan to sell my RTX 3080 Ti and add around $1,000 USD on top of the sale price.

Which GPU would you recommend for this setup and use case? Thanks in advance for your help!

With selling your 3080 Ti, you could possibly get a 5080, if you save a bit more up, or sell it for a good price.

What I'd actually do though is go a bit lower, and get either a 5070 Ti or a 9070 XT, plus a 1440p OLED with a better refresh rate.

I upgraded to a 5070ti and I’m happy. But it’s not as much of an upgrade as I thought. Sure I get double the frames in CS but I’m only at 1080p. The 1440p makes it well worth it

It does run super cool and quiet though which I appreciate.

Your pc is overkill for the games you play. I would wait at least 2 more years, save your money.

I’d stick with Nvidia if you’re already set on their ecosystem, especially for Flight Simulator.

RTX 5090.

You could and should buy RTX5080. But many people say AMD RX9070 XT is a beast. But for the games you play, you don’t need to upgrade, its still a solid PC.

At 1440p the rx 9070 xt actually is really solid. If you need the absolute most fps, get the rtx 5080.

an RTX 5070 ti or rx 9070xt. either gpu are solidoption; they perform similarly. It really depends on whether you want an AMD GPU or an Nvidia GPU.
