Hey everyone! I'm seeking some advice on upgrading my GPU and I have a budget of around $1000. I'm specifically looking for Nvidia options and am considering the 30, 40, or 50 series cards. Currently, I have a Gigabyte Aorus Elite Revision 2 3060 Ti and I'm hoping to upgrade. Here are some options I've found:
- Palit GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GameRock — $550
- Asus TUF 5070 012G Gaming — $880
- GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3090 GAMING OC 24G — $740
- Palit GeForce RTX 3090 Ti GameRock OC — $2400 (just included this for laughs because of the crazy price)
- GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER GAMING OC 12G — $900
- ASUS ROG-STRIX-RTX4080-O16G-WHITE — $1900 (another inflated one)
- ASUS PRIME-RTX5060TI-O16G — $730
I'm looking for any suggestions on which card to pick from this list or if there's another card you think I should consider!
Here's a quick rundown of my current setup:
- Monitor: Dell 2K IPS, 1ms response, 165Hz
- CPU: Intel i7-13700KF
- GPU: Gigabyte Aorus Elite Revision 2 3060 Ti
- PSU: Corsair RM850x 850W Gold

- Cooling: Corsair iCUE Link H150i LCD RGB (360mm / 3 sections)

- SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB
- Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic White

Yeah, the RTX 3090 seems like a great choice based on your needs. If performance is your main goal, it will pair nicely with your Intel i7 and high refresh rate monitor. Just keep an eye on the cooling; those cards can get a bit hot.
I just want to clarify, are those prices in USD? Because if you're looking for a solid upgrade and can’t squeeze out the budget for the 5070 Ti, I would recommend going for the 3090. It's a powerful card and should perform really well with your setup.
