Go for a 1080Ti
The goat!
Edit, ok the 7700XT is about twice as fast in many games, for $100 more , probably that one or I might keep an eye out for a 3070 or 3080 , at least I can still play physx games on it then.
I have one still running strong - watercooled!
Where are you getting a 7700xt for $499?
Centrecom : XFX Speedster SWFT210 Radeon RX 7700XT 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card $499
Thanks legend
IMO I'd hunt around for a second hand 6800XT. I picked up a Red Devil one for $400. Slightly faster than a 7700XT and more RAM.
Otherwise I'd look at a 9060XT instead, a little bit more again dollar-wise (so might be pushing the budget) but FSR4 was a pretty good improvement even though the cards are similar speed.
I'm using it on a pcie 4x4 oculink dock so literally no point in a faster card nor a card with pcie5, (these dont work at all with the dock I bought off aliexpress).
I don't need one so will HODL for further BFS.
$569 9060 xt 16gb
that would be the next card up the chain of value gpus
Way too much. On FB I saw a brand new 3060 Ti for $320. Maybe wait for black Friday deals, I'm sure we'll see 5060s for this price or close to it.
Yep, I was right. You can get a 5060 for $429 from Centrecom - it's a better value for money card than the B580. Typically about 13-14% faster in benchmarks, but costs only 7-8% more than B580. And resale value will always be higher for Nvidia vs Intel.
Got one from PLE for 399 plus 19 for uber delivery
Does anyone know how to claim the free game?
I didn't recieve any code in the box or anything that I need to put into the Intel website.
mine came through as an email from scorptec but was on my paper receipt that came with the card
This , or a 7700XT 12gb for $499? secondary game rig for kids, doesn't need to be anything special, presently on a 1070Ti which is fine but just considering upgrade because… computers!
