Video Card chat
I just picked up a new monitor (34" Ultra Wide 1440p 144MHz 1500R Curve Samsung Panel -VA) to replace my 3 monitor setup (24" ASUS 1080p). Now I need a new video card to drive the monitor.

My current rig is:

Intel Core i-7 4770k Processor
32GB DDR3 Memory
Gigabyte Z97MX-Gaming 5 Motherboard
Radeon RX 570 Video Card

This card is going to struggle to push anything more than low to medium graphics on games with this new monitor. Where I'm torn is the cost of new video cards.

If I'm looking hard enough, I can stumble across an open box 5600 for $200 or $230 new. A 5700 for $320 (open box) or $350 new. But at that point... why would I just not drop another $100 for the 6700 at $449?

Ultimately... that makes the 5700 a non player and I'm left choosing between a 5600 at $230 or a 6700 at $450. I'd rather not spend an extra $220 but I feel like the 6700 would probably be the last video card my current build sees.

Then what about the 20x series by nVidia? By paying a touch more I get Ray Tracing which is cool but I'm not paying for a 2080, for what I would pay for a 2070 I may as well snag one of the new AMD cards. A 2060 is going for $320 new... I don't know that Ray Tracing is worth nearly $100.

Better yet... do any of you fellow nerds have an itch to update and want to sell me their 5k/20x series cards?

EVGA 3080TI $899 that's $430 off kiddos

oh it's LHR for mining BUT it's totally unlocked now and mines the same as a 3090. Enjoy kiddos!

EVGA also runs the coolest of all cards.

Under $900 for a 3080Ti. Wow. Hard to believe.

I'm probably going with a brand new build featuring the 4080 in the first part of 2023, but these prices are freaking insane right now and very tempting.

Might even get better, especially if you don't mind getting a used one. 3080TI is pretty much a 3090 minus the extra vram.

They keep dropping now that the miners seem to have had their fill and more chips are also coming out of China.

With RTX 4000 series and AMD RDNA 3 series upcoming, I'd have to imagine they'll continue to drop for a little bit here and settle in.

FYI... Microcenter KC is currently having some pretty crazy sales. But it requires a mailer coupon. If you have access to it though, you can get some crazy cheap deals. A 1TB M.2 or SSD drive for $20. 2TB HDD for $20. An 11.6" Windows laptop for $40. I've been told you can go to the store and request a coupon flyer, but I can't really confirm that. Sale goes until 10/2.

They are already dropping, and it does have some to do with crypto. Now to be fair over last two years miners have been moving off GPUs to more cost effective hardware.

But I assume the real drop is coming from demand. I believe the demand curb has nose dived over last 12 months.

You can get 1,200 cards for like 700 right now

Im a dumbass and I think i need the best shit all the time. Bought a 4090 and only got 700 for my 3090, and I expect them to keep falling. If your a bargain hunter, current market is great for you

So probably doesn’t need to be said but going from a 1060 to a 3060Ti, is well worth the price

I have a 1070ti and I would be hard pressed to buy Nvidia right now. The 6750 XT is pretty tempting to me.

https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-gv-r...82E16814932519

$399 for that with the $20 MIR seems like a really good deal.

I have a 1070 in my desktop and have been waiting a while to upgrade. Is the 3060 ti at $459 worth it?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097YW4FW9...ustomerReviews

Maybe this is a better question... I have about $650 in Amazon gift cards... what is the best card you would/could buy at that price point. I would also be willing to add a little to that if it was worth it.
