Hey everybody!
I am currently thinking about upgrading my graphics card, because I upgraded my monitor to 1440p.
My PC is currently running a Ryzen 5 3600 with 16 GB RAM and a RX 480 8GB that I have since forever. I don't really play any recent AAA titles, but I would be happy if I could run games like Metro:Exodus or DarkSouls3 smoothly.
One thing that would be a huge improvement would also be if the card was rather quiet, current card is rather loud due to running at max most of the time for modern games.
I was thinking about maybe buying a RX 7800 XT if I can get a good Black Friday deal on it.
I am a bit hesitant about getting a 3060Ti because it only sports 8 GB VRAM and I always had the feeling that the 8GB VRAM prolonged the lifetime of my RX 480 quite substantially.
My budget is between 300€ - 450€ (I'm currently living in Germany if that matters)
I'm happy to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
TLDR: I'm searching for a replacement for my Rx 480 8GB between 300€ - 450€ for 1440p gaming, a quiet card would be a plus
Good luck with the 7800xt, I think that would be pretty ideal if you get a price you’re happy with for it. For the 3060ti I’d probably go with a 7600xt instead personally, unless you want the raytracing performance (probably not useful for older games) or the cuda cores. The 4060ti also has a 16gb vram version iirc, which might come in around the price point you’re hoping for on Black Friday (we can hope, anyway). Either way, good luck!
I think I might actually be lucky. I found one sweet deal already. So I think it's a likely candidate even though it's maybe a bit overkill for my setup.
Thanks for your comment!
