i think most gamers upgrade their gpus every two years so i suggest we talk about vram needs in both 2024 & 2025

[@martinmilchakov6179]

I'm running i7 3770 and GTX 1660 OC 6gb. Still running but it's getting a lot harder on AAA games after 2020. F1 2023 running ~50-70 FPS (HIGH) but Jedi Survivor at 20-40 (ULTRA LOW). Some suggestions for around 100 FPS on 1080p 60HZ?

[@BarAlexC]

I'd be much more interested to see a column (or 2, 3...) of price evolution. In January prices have actually gone up across the board, no? This GPU market is still beyond absurd. Absolutely ZERO progress whatsoever. (6800xt@$500 has been the benchmark since BF2022. It's been 1y+ and the 7800xt (roughly the same performance) sells at the same price. Practically, 0 improvement. 6700xt should be comfortably below 300, but it ain't. Been selling for 320-350 for 1y+, too. Dafuq! Nvidia is a joke across the lineup.) A used 6800 seems to me as one of the very, very few decent deals ATM.

[@bigshot329]

what about a 4060ti 8gb i got one for 270usd new

[@Darkslide2AR-FE]

Right now I'm running a 3600X on X570 and a RTX 2060. Im debating on either upgrading to 5800X3D or 7600 processor. it's a big debate of upgrade the whole system or just upgrade the CPU, GPU and PSU. GPU wise I'm looking at the 7800 XT but waiting to see if AMD drops the price on it.

[@robertkennedy8503]

If you can I don't see why not? Not everyone plays the latest games with all bells and whistles, I had a GTX 1070 for seven years, and the game that made upgrade was Alan Wake 2, but I went with AMD after 20 years of nvidia cards.

[@rangersmith4652]

The last 8GB cards I bought were a 5700XT and a 2070 Super, both new. The current minimum for a GPU priced over $250 should be 12GB. Over $400, 16GB. A card that's priced over $1000 should have 24GB, sing your favorite songs, and make lunch.

Sounds really nice! I will almost certainly get that chip for my new pc and currently drawn between 7800xt, 7900xt or even the 4070ti super... But hearing that just really makes me want to save my money and get the 7800xt

[@Shadow_Banned_Conservative]

I'm just starting to learn about these modern video cards having been a console player for the longest time, one common theme I keep seeing on these reviews is, "if I save a little more money..." so you end up never buying a video card. Or you end up chasing video cards down a rabbit hole, starting at $250, then for $50 more you can get something better, but for $70 more you can get this even better card, then next thing you know, you're looking at $900 cards when you were looking at $250 cards from the start. I'm a big fan of used and open box components. Last week I pulled the trigger on a Gigabyte RTX 4060 Ti 16GB OC, open box from Best Buy for $415. It's my first high performance card, at least to to me. I'm starting on an old XEON workstation build with an E5 or dual E5 V4s and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory that is dirt cheap. It's going to be a learning experience where I'll eventually move to a modern CPU and hopefully, taking this video card with me, or at least being able to recoup a decent amount toward the next card.

[@garyhome7101]

I was just looking at the available 4080 Supers - not a one at NE or Amazon, and the available 4080's are well into the $1200++ range. Even the 7900 XT's and XTX's are facing some availability issues it seems while prices seem to be ticking up. Finding a white card is even more difficult in both availability and affordability. Best I can do is at NE for a white 7900 XTX Power Color Hellhound for $1K, and an ASRock Phantom white 7900XT for ~$750.00. That's quite a price difference for the added memory and some extra speed. The market is just crazy.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Rumor is they didn't have a large stock of the 4080 supers available at launch (one of their signature moves). We'll be doing another GPU Market Update in a week or so but I'd hold off buying high end GPUs for a bit to how prices shake out.

[@denvernaicker8250]

I tried to snag a 4080s as soon as I saw the local pricing a lot cheaper than the original 4080. When I checked online the next day stock was gone but then a day later more stock arrived. Not sure maybe trickery but at the same time I knew that I really wanted to get the 4080s at that price point. It was very similar to a 7900xtx price locally.

[@blackbirdpctech]

I think it's important to discuss VRAM in more detail than simply "more is better". For example, for the 40 series GPU's Nvidia significantly increased the L2 cache on their cards, which significantly improves performance because the latency to access cache versus VRAM is much lower. By doing that they reduced the requirement for higher VRAM. There are other important considerations such as memory bus width as well that need to be looked at. And then there is what tools report as VRAM usage ... in most cases a game will allocate VRAM based on how much you have just in case it needs it, but just because it is holding the VRAM doesn't mean it will actually use it. So this is why it's important to actually look at the benchmarks and see which card performs better. The 4070 Super is a great card that beats the 7800 XT in most games ... for gaming efficiency (FPS/$) they are essentially tied, given the lower price of the 7800 XT, so both cards are great options. But you shouldn't simply buy the card with the higher VRAM ... that is not a good way to justify a purchase in my opinion.

[@ronchu4453]

Agreed. 20gb wow! Gotta buy that one!

[@aylim3088]

Agree with the 4070S, but with 4060/ti, they really throttled the memory bandwidth, justified it with "oh but we increased the cache", and reviewers showed that it didn't help

[@blackbirdpctech]

@@aylim3088I am good with that because it’s based on actual performance data. It also explains why Nvidia added a version with 16GB because they were hoping people will buy the larger number without looking at the performance.

[@Anton_dk]

What you say is probably right. But this video meant to give an average perspective on the cards relative peformance, sourced from bencmarks on various games regardless of how much VRAM they allocate. This is something the indivdual has to consider and look at specific game bechmarks, to determin what is needed on their gaming level. "More VRAM" is better in the sence of the video's goal, which is to secure a stable framrate and detail level on higher resolutions. Of course 16 GB is not needed on 1080p in most games, but given that a lot of recent AAA titles have shown more VRAM usage (EVEN in 1080p - as mentioned in the video), I could imagine some might consider the buffer in case of a further increase in game VRAM recuirements or monitor upgrade. The 7800 XT might be a better deal to some, because of that VRAM leap, over the 4070 super or even the 3080 12GB which is cheaper and has the same level of average peformance.

[@metalface_villain]

the only reason nvidia has such low vram is to make the cards obsolete faster so you can buy the new one faster or so they can sell you the same card twice because it has more vram now.

this will hopefully help me with speccing out a desktop when i eventually get around to building one.

I also have an A770 and can confirm it works great (1440p 144hz) and has few driver issues (only ones have been in blender, which isn't gaming and favors Nvidia anyways).

I have a 170hz monitor and I find myself needing a 240hz monitor at this point for my shooter games. It would be comfortable at 4k 144hz I’d imagine- just not max settings.

My rtx 3080 plays Cyberpunk2077 with my 10th gen i7-10700k perfectly. The only time i had issues was when my cpu's aio pump went out. But once i got my new aio (and a better case as my INWIN 303 wasnt idea for 360 radiator mounting was limited in the 303 to a side frame in the case where my psu blocked 25% of the radiator) my new case which allowed top and front mounted radiator mounts give way more options. I mounted it up top and used the front part of my case for 3x 120mm fans. With a nice 140mm exhaust fan kept my cpu under 30c to 39c at idle and when playing Cyberpunk2077 it went up to 67 to 77c. In the INWIN 303 my temps would be 57c at idle and 90c at load.. im just thankful my msi z590 ace gold edition gave me a (cpu temp is high) warning.

I've 100% phased out recommending nVidia, I can't take it seriously. All my testing over the last year has 7900xtx doing RT at 4080 level... which means it's comparable sku for sku. Well, I shouldn't say I've phased it out entirely, 4090 is still the best, and does still render faster, so there are a few of those. I've talked gamers I've built for out of them entirely though.

[@x8jason8x]

Full disclosure, I may just be experiencing the glory of OLED where RT is concerned, but I could not tell a difference between the cards graphically with it on. I can't in good faith recommend someone buy a 4090 just to game, the RT effect in general is wildly overrated... but if you insist on RT for the 3 games it's in, the 4090 is the only one I saw that does it with any stable fps.

Everything is on ULTRA with RayTracing on full blast with a 49" Ultrawide monitor @ 2k. According to 3DMark, the current build is better than 95-99% of all benchmarks without overclocking.

There's a few things I'd like to play right now but the main games I'm waiting for aren't out until 2025 so I may just wait for the 50 series, otherwise I'll probably end up getting a 4080 super if it's ever on sale for less than $1300

[@stever7638]

Most cards play everything at 1440P, but they all stink at ray tracing unless you want to pay for a 4090 which will be matched for 2/3 the price soon enough. People need to understand Anti-Aliasing is a HUGE resource and barely needed. The $800+ cards are way under performing for their asking price.

[@Teklien]

I've been holding on upgrading the GPU in my primary rig until I see how AMD responds to Nvidias super cards. I've been eyeing the 7900XTX because I need a waterblock & no one seems to make blocks for any Radeon card below the 7900XTX. Also manufacturers seem to gate keep if they are using the reference PCB like it's top secret government info or something.

Just want to say as someone with an A770 (16gb Asrock PG model), it's a beast at 1440p in games I play and it does really well in video editing as well! Also decent performance in blender, not as good as nvidia and I have actually had some errors with this card but it performs well enough for if you're getting into it as a beginner.

New to the channel. Looking to build a PC soon. Just looking at the spreadsheet 13:45 is this correct? The 7800XT says best price $489 in £ that is 387 which sounds like a complete bargain. They currently on sale for like £499 here in the UK. Is that price stated correct? Is it worth picking one up from the US?

[@kelley09162]

It's true but that doesn't completely translate to UK money. Plus remember our prices don't include Taxes because each state has a different one.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

What TY said. These prices are correct but they don't include tax as different states have different amounts including some without tax.

[@antonrizkisulaiman9519]

The best solution is just avoid new games and play 3-5 years old games. They are cheap and play great on a "budget" build. Also still a lot of fun too. Just need a bit of patience.

The Arc 770 drivers are the same ones that are used for Intel UHD integrated graphics, eg for my 13600K. I had no issues running on integrated graphics for a whole year. I finally managed to find a store deal on an msi trio 6800 non xt. It's more than enough for what I use it for, and the AMD Adrenaline software is much better than I thought it would be. The only minor issue I've had with the pc is with it's rog strix power supply, made by seasonic. It sometimes makes a slight creaking sound when in medium use. Only noticeable in a silent room. I thought it was the gpu initially until I realised it was the same noise as when the psu fan button is pressed to start up or stop. From what I can find with seasonic it's quite common with some models as they change rpm or slow down. As for noise in general I've only noticed gpu coil whine once, when I accidentally ran 3d simulation software at over 500fps without limits. Other than that, it's performing well with no issues.

I bought a 4060-ti - that's the one everyone says not to buy - I am super happy with it. Anything else was at least twice the price... 7800xt maybe better bang-for-buck but it's THREE times the money - I can't even afford that! 4060-ti plays today's games on 1440p with Ultra (with DLSS) and that's very much good enough for me, in this economy...

Because for $100 more or so, you can get a 7800xt which smokes the 4060ti 8gb in both performance and in VRAM. Everything is relative, but the actual price you’re paying for the 4060ti is a total ripoff in my personal opinion.

[@headwindshield]

I wanna say that the 4060ti is actually a scam by Nvidia. It costs a hefty chunk more than the 3060ti despite offering the exact same performance. Only extra feature you get for your money is Frame Generation, which massively increases your input latency. The 4060ti imo belongs on the "absolutely avoid" list just because of the bad business practice that it is. A used 3060ti can be a much, much better deal.

[@kevinb9830]

You'll be fine dude, the 6750 XT has 12 GB and it's pretty even with the 8 GB 3070 overall. Your 12 GB 3080 is very powerful and should you over for a while.

[@Teklien]

I'm currently building a travel rig for mostly FPS & Moba gaming while I'm on the road. I got lucky 2 days ago & snagged a 6700XT for $375 after tax. It's hella overkill for what I plan to use it for especially since I'll be gaming on a portable 16" 1440P monitor but I couldn't justify getting the 7600XT over the 6700XT for roughly the same price. 6700XT just stomps the 7600XT in raw performance.

[@Rampage-Sama]

Dope man, if I may ask where di you get the 6700 xt? I'm currently looking to upgrade to it but I'm struggling to find the Sapphire PULSE model I'm looking for.

[@Jwalker76]

I was very disappointed in the new Nvidia super series cards. The extra vram on the 4070 ti super is nice, but I was hoping it would perform closer to a 4080 and it's almost same performance as a normal 4070 ti. The only good thing about the 4080 super is the price drop, the performance is like 3% better. They should have just kept the standard 4080 and reduced it's price by 200 dollars. The card that I want myself is a 7800xt 16gb, or I may buy a 6950xt if I can get it cheap enough.

I appreciate the work that goes in to the GPU spreadsheet but it's silly to be using the new price for cards like the 6800 XT in your price/performance calculations. There's only really one model of the card card in stock on sites like Newegg and no one should be buying it at that price when the used market is absolutely full of high quality cards for $100 less than the "best price" you have listed for it. Another tab that used the lowest price, either used or new, would be a great addition.

[@Dexion845]

If you need a 4K Raster Blaster get the 7900XTX For everything else get the 4090 if you create or don't want to buy another gfx card for 7 years. Or 4080 S for gaming with RT, second best creation ability. Or below that just get what's best for your budget from AMD or Nvidia. As for VRAM this is highly debatable. Are you going to use upscaling? Target should be above the current gen consoles but not by that much. E-sports high refresh rate gamers don't need more than 12GB. 4K single players could use 16-20GB (depending on how well optimized devs make the game) However in the 7900XTX's case who's to tell if the core would be the bottleneck in the future instead of the VRAM buffer.

[@tylery7881]

Yeah 8GB of VRAM today is next to nothing if you’re running high demand games. My 8GB 3070 can’t run Forza Motorsport 2023 at any setting above medium in 1440p without maxing out VRAM and tanking performance. I can get away with more at 1080p but the image is still fuzzy and just not as good to look at as opposed to just switching to native resolution (which for me is 1440p). The GPU and whole PC itself is going on almost 3 years old now and it’s about time to do a GPU upgrade. Heavily considering pulling the trigger on a 16GB card as I don’t think 12GB will be enough down the line as games will continue to get more and more VRAM intensive.

[@GrainOnTheGo]

Genuinely considering a 7900XT just for that VRAM which will age like fine wine. 3070Ti was a phenomenal card up until late 2023 when games started getting VRAM hungry.

I like looking at these videos been looking for a gpu for awhile. All things considered i got a 1070 TI when it was around 500 dollars a long time ago. So its not like even the cheapest options wouldnt be a massive upgrade for me. Gpu still going strong but definately can tell some games are a bit scuffed looking. Still can run new titles like the newest ratchet and clank game with not a lot of issues. Did get the occasional lag or frame drop so its probably a good sign I need to look for an upgrade. But apart from new games, performance is still pretty good and obviously if you have no desire to play new games the 1070 ti will do the job.

I have the rx6700xt what monitor specs should i use i have a 1080p 144hz should i upgrade and if so what specs should i look for

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Depending on the games you play you could go budget 1440p. See our Best Gaming Monitor 2024 video for more

[@kingroehle]

So here is the thing: when you play 1440p, let's say with an 4060 Ti, you have to use dlss in AAA games anyway. Dlss looks so amazing and you can sharpen the game wirh an extra setting so that you cant even recodnise a big difference between dlss quality and performance on a big screen. For example i am playing wirt thus card in an 42 inch, 120 Hz sony oled and the picture looks stunning sharp, even in performance mode. So i can play for example cyberpunk kompletely maxed out WITH Pathtracing wirh over 60 to 70 fps on an 8GB Card without any problems!!!! The only setting that is not maxed out is the textures! And that is a very little sacrifice because in most games you dont recodnize a differnece if its high or ultra, medium or high. So there is a lot off bullshit talking everywhere ablut a card like the 4060ti, because you cant expect to get the same result lile using a card vor doubble the price.
