what's your 2070 Super's benchmark for CP 2077? have you overclocked yours? I'm skipping the RTX 3xxxx series and the RX 6xxx series as well since the performance uplift on the next gen are even way higher than it and given the price point, it wouldn't make sense getting the previous gen.
CP 2077 proves to be the bane of the current gen cards. Even paired with the R5800x3d, it is still below 80fps with either 6900xt and rtx3090 (ti and xx50 included) at 4k. Average fps is from 30-40fps. Other than CP 2077, the current gen cards are great. I have not yet transitioned to 4K, so my 2070S should still be good for a year or two. I have yet to buy me a 4K monitor with good refresh rate. Since good 4k monitors are still crazy stupid expensive, I'll hold on to 1080p gaming or at best 1440p when I see them go down at a good price.
while 4K is unbelievable, 1440p seems to be the sweet spot for now. til the need for 4K becomes more mainstream and content much becomes a norm.
too bad the current price of gaming monitors and gpus doesn't make it so.
As I go entirely through this thread on building my own rig, I'll start off asking on case recommendations as far as longevity with these huge GPUs coming out lately.
Currently have an old 2017 Digital Storm Vanquish 6 PC, but will be building my own rig this time around and preferably with a full size case.
The ones that have caught my attention are the Corsair iCUE 5000T, Lian Li cases, Cooler Master, and Thermaltake.
Are you sure? saw multiple 4080 stocks at microcenter and bustbuy. 4090 though is out of stock. Could be false sold out advertising and pulled out their stock while deciding to readjust the 4080 pricing. I'm hopeful for but performance is good enough at 1440p. Not sure if the 7900x cpu have 3D cache in them.
He's mostly into Minecraft and a bit of GTA V. initially I was looking into an i3 system with a starter gpu. considering that he runs multiple applications and streaming, i3 could be quite underpowered. for the same price as the starter gpu, I was able to snag a slightly used RX5700 from a shop that was having a firesale of Dell computers. the cards looked pretty unused with extremely no visible dust, dings nor dents plus got a 3 mos. warranty on it if ever it starts acting up. so far it runs cool on 50C stock fan. gpu looks customizable so if ever, I could replace the thermal paste and fan or even update the bios to an XT. so far, the driver makes it run quite and cool.
