Poll: What is your upper limit for your next GPU purchase

[CaptainRAVE]

I paid around £750 for my GTX1080 I believe, I wouldn't want to pay much more than that to replace it to be honest. Prices are getting crazy lately. I really hope AMD have something good with big navi at a good price but I'm not getting my hopes up.

This. I think I paid closer to £800 at the time. Thankfully the 1080Ti has lasted well. Can’t see me wanting to spend that kind of money again.

£750.

A grand if it's worth it

That sounds a bit high, I paid that for my 1080ti.

I have a similar threshold, although I'm thinking if I paid £750 a couple of years ago then a little more would be an acceptable upper limit if the performance did merit it.

£1,000 is my personal threshold, although I'd be more inclined to shoot for between £500 - £750 if again performance was there.

You're right that was high, just check my OCUK order history, it says £659 (EVGA FTW card).

This. I think I paid closer to £800 at the time. Thankfully the 1080Ti has lasted well. Can’t see me wanting to spend that kind of money again.

I think the 1080 has lasted well too. It's coming up to 4 years since I bought it now and I have no desire to upgrade it yet. I think being watercooled helps it too as it runs at 2140mhz which is a pretty decent overclock.

£500, maybe £600.
It'll have to be a decent chunk more performance over the xsx.

Is it worth paying that much more to get the top range stuff?

I'd like 4k 60fps+ at ultra in all games, not just the really well optimised ones. I don't know what I'd pay for that, £1000 - 1500 maybe.

For me it really depends on the peformance. If they released a GPU that would do 4k at 144fps for £2000+, I'd buy it in a heart beat.

 

[Supernova]

However I want to play FS2020 at 4K60 ultra, so what can I do.

I don’t think there’s a PC in the world that can do this right now!

 

[Paul11]

£500

 

[Pants]

£250. Would stretch to £300.

 

[marl]

About £250 here, but I'll wait and see what the reviews say..

 

[BigBANGtheory]

So the question was value/perf

My budget is 5k with a linear expectation of performance, so for the benefit of argument a £1.5k GPU now would perform like mainstream Hopper/RDNA3 in 2022 a 3k GPU would perform like RDNA4/5 today and a 5k GPU would be what I'd expect to be mainstream in 2025. Obviously as time goes on I'd expect price/perf today to fall dramatically BUT if you want the money now upfront I want a lot i.e. you can take a 20% gain and stuff it I want 100% gain when we start talking about the £1000 amounts.

Clearly that's not how the market works, but then I'm at odds with the market and what is on offer. I can't help that but don't dangle a £1k+ gpu and pee pee on my back and say its rainin regarding perf.

I tend to buy previous gen second hand. I’m currently running a 1070 I paid £150 for about 16 months ago Planning to do the same again when Ampere is fully released and 20 series cards drop in price. I’d find it hard to justify paying more than about £250 for a graphics card.

 

[justwondering]

Sold my RTX 2080ti for £900, I have a cheap rtx 2080 that I paid £257 for, so I'd be happy to spend £699ish, but I would hope the card would be faster than a rtx 2080ti by at least 10 percent, or I might as well stick with my cheap RTX 2080.

I wish I could do this, but I need HDMI 2.1 this time round so previous gen is off the shopping list.

 

[Tommy_Here]

My max was £719 when I bought the 1080 Ti and I don't think I'd want to do it again as it took a while to get over it... £650 Will have to offer more than 2080 Ti performance or no more than £500 To match the 2080 Ti ( thinking 3070 ) so I'll say £650 if the performance is there.

 

[chaparral]

I thought it might be interesting to do a poll as most of the threads have talk of price & value for money;

Don't think i ever bought any high end stuff and thought am getting good value for money
And that not just about high end PC stuff

 

[Fyter]

This really depends on the performance segment. Like for a Ti I would be willing to pay 649-799, xx80 series 499-649, xx70 series 349-499.

 

[Minstadave]

Not too bothered about price, will see what offers best bang for buck.

The 5700XT was the stand out bang for buck this generation. So 6700XT may be the one for me if it follows suit.

My vega 64 (sapphire) shall be staying around a little while. I am going to wait till both teams have cards out then make up my mind . £500 max but might go a bit higher? All depends on value!
