Best Gpu for 1080p@75hz?

[grammar_phreak]

I remember reading a question on another forum a long time ago. The asker was wondering why he couldn't find a GTX 970 after the Pascal cards came out.
With the new Graphics cards on the way, pricepoints will eventually get pushed down. If you can wait then do so. You could also look at the 2nd hand market to see if any good deals are available. The RTX 2070 Super and pretty much all Turing cards have been discontinued which is probably why you can find one of those cards. Nvidia discontinues the old cards a few months before the new ones are released because they don't want the retail channel to get clogged up with old Graphics Cards they they will either have to buy back or put on a fire sale.

Back in 2018 when Mining was still popular, Nvidia overproduced cards cards like the GTX 1070ti, 1070, and 1060. About a month after Turing came out, I was able to snag a brand new EVGA SC2 GTX 1070ti for $260.

For that monitor, Cards like the RTX 2060 Super and RX 5700 XT are ideal for the most demanding games like Control. Otherwise cards in the 6gb RTX 2060, RX 5700 range are ideal. These cards here are going to give you the ability to max out the settings. Even an old 6gb GTX 1060, RX 580, or GTX 970 are more than capable of playing games at 1080p 75fps with adjustments to the settings. Even the RX 570 will do the trick at 1080p.

And what about new games?

As I & OP said: fidelity setting will lower with future games.

A potato would be good enough for that low res/refresh. No point in comparing something that low to OP's requirement.

Not really... Even games like Devil May Cry 5 & Resident Evil 2 couldn't stay at 60fps with ultra settings. OP's requirement isn't as low as mine but it still is kinda low. If 1080p @75Hz medium settings is his lowest requirement for newer games, then his GTX 980 Ti could last him prolly another 3 years, maybe. Depends on what kinda games he is getting.

I said ultra for the first two years of purchase and med to high for the consecutive years. Im playing mostly AAA games with story focused such as horizon, witcher 3, rdr2. From what i gathered here, the best bet would be waiting for rtx 3060 and compare the price of it with the rtx 2070 super by then

that sounds like a pretty reasonable idea...although if I'm being honest I would not recommend buying a modern gpu unless you plan on upgrading your display too. Buying a modern gpu and running it at 1080p 75 hertz seems a bit like pissing into the wind, that's just my personal opinion.

So what exactly is your preferred spending budget? If it's below $500, wait for 3060 or wait it out till you find 3070 at that price point. If you can spend $600, get a Founder's Edition card next month. It's already about 3x more powerful than your 980Ti. I believe it to be a better bang for your buck over 3060, even if we still dunno the spec for 3060. If you aren't a resolution whore, then stick with your current monitor. Eventually games get more demanding from GPUs, so maybe a 3070 could last you 5 years until games could no longer stick to 60fps at 1080p, medium setting. Who knows....

 

[Lindatje]

Just wait for the AMD RDNA2 GPU`s.

 

[redeye]

if you use a gsync monitor, a 1050ti could be ok. a 1660ti would work for very high settings.

get a 5700xt. Nvidia does not need the money.

LOL! Did you really suggest for OP to downgrade his GPU?

I would like it to be at 500$ max. So if the 3060 is more than 500$, ill just stick to the 2070 super for now

 

[newtekie1]

Are you playing on Ultra at 1080p@75Hz as OP requires?

med to high settings for the consecutive years

He specifically said he doesn't need Ultra settings 4 years later.

Yes, I'm playing 1080p on low settings, but the GTX1050 was also literally the lowest end gaming card you could in it's generation when it came out 4 years ago.

The reality is that GPU technology has outpaced software at this point. I mean, my 1080Ti is till cranking away at 1440p@75Hz@High Settings. OP doesn't need a RTX3090 to be able to play games @ 1080p 5 years from now.

Rumors have the RTX3070 at $500, so the RTX3060 will most certainly be below $500, probably more like $400. Then again, if $500 is your max, the RTX3070...

Yes but i would like to play on ultra in the first 2 years. Yeah 3070 is 500$ but im not in the usa lol. Gpu here cost about 100$ more than the announced price in usa. Cooling is like a super important factor because my ambient temps is hot. I'm just worried a good rtx 3060 costs as much as a cheap rtx 3070.

 

[docnorth]

If 1660 super is expensive, 1650 super is the answer. It performs better than 1060 and rx580 and consumes less (or MUCH less compared with rx580). If these cards are weak for your needs, you could wait 2-3 months for rtx3060 or the upcoming mid-range cards from AMD. But right now 1660 super looks like your best option.

Exact reason why it was recommended by getting a new display back a little in the thread. I totally agree with you 100%.

Still on 1080/144 here with a gtx1080.

At the end of the day, get the best you can afford and it will last as long as it lasts. The better you get now, the longer it will last.

You can't expect to get steak on a ramen budget.

1650 will struggle to do 1080p/75hz high settings now, let alone in a year and will be completely dead in the water in 5 years to come, re-read what the OP is asking.

Also best to wait until RDNA2 and 3060 releases and they are readily available unlike the 3080 right now. it will bring down last gen used cards prices also so you might get lucky and snag a 5700/2070+ card for less.

I agree, that’s why 1650s was proposed only as a cheap alternative. 1660s looks like the best option right now or waiting 2-3 months (hopefully 3060 at least will be available sooner).

I guess I'll just wait for the rtx 3060 after all. Im hoping that i'll be able to play cyberpunk on ray tracing and everything maxed out when it comes out without waiting too long.

The problem is that 3060 might come out early next year if you're willing to wait that long. Otherwise, spend all that $500 budget for a 3070 next month.

While we still dunno 3060's spec & price but I'm guessing the 3070 is worth more of your money than the 3060 just based on previous generation's difference.

Goddamn lol early next year. The 3070 will be around 600 to 650usd in my region. Maybe rdna2 will offer something good as well

Maybe get it at an online store instead of brick-n-mortar store? Nvidia's own storefront is $500, though I dunno about shipping cost.
RDNA2 doesn't seems to be coming anytime soon as well nor will it have comparable price-to-performance ratio as Ampere's offering.
I could be wrong about 3060's release date but coming out on November or December might not be a good strategy for Nvidia as they would have to compete with PS5 & Xbox 4.

I am getting it online. The prices are pretty much the same everywhere. Im in southeast asia so prices are higher here.

NVIDIA isn't competing with consoles, it's competing with itself. Their release schedule is unchanged from previous generations: release the most powerful GPU first, then some time later the one further down the stack, then the next one down, etc. in order to get people to buy the most powerful, and expensive, models first.

RTX 3070 is officially to be launched October - my guess is around a month after 3080/3090, so the 24th-ish - and then RTX 3060 is another month after that, so probably end of November just before Black Friday.

I see... Maybe wait for an underclocked 3070 AIB card at your region's $500 price point. I'm pretty sure the underclock is not that significant that would affect your performance value. It's up to you though.

But they are competing for our money though & most likely will lose if they had to release 3060 on November or December.
3070 will come out on 15th October for it's reference card. Dunno if the AIB partners will also release at the same time.
