What's the best upgrade GPU card for my build with an i7 4790K without bottleneck problems?

What is gibbo?

@Gibbo ?

Get the 11700K and chuck in a 3060Ti , Gibbo is discounting them this afternoon . All from OcUk.

The Rx 6600 XT is looking like an excellent 1080p GPU:

It's an upgrade (in theoretical performance) vs the 5700 XT, sadly no reference model though.

I think the main problem is still availability, for AMD it's even worse than Nvidia, leading to the same, if not more so inflated prices.

Do not buy an Nvidia GPU if you don't plan to upgrade the cpu soon after, it's going to be wasted.

Interesting, but surely he could still upgrade his CPU in a year or so, if he got a nvidia GPU?

The 5600x certainly comes across well in these results, Intel seems a bit underrepresented.

More 3060 and 3060 ti pre orders opened up. Be quick.

This is a reasonable price for an rtx 3060:

RTX 3060 TI for £420 here:

It looks like pre-ordering might be the way to go, in terms of value.

But again, if you do NOT plan to upgrade your cpu soon then go with an AMD card like the 6600XT.

 

[g67575]

What and pay £600-£700?

Got ya crystal ball out have we? We don't know yet for sure.

Nvidia performs awful on older cpu's as we know.

Here;

4790K used in this one;

 

[Supernova]

The OP’s 4790k needs to be changed anyway. It shouldn’t influence the decision imo. It’s going to be bottlenecking a 6600 XT.

Nothing wrong if he wants to get another year or so out of it though, it's still capable imo.

 

[g67575]

Does anyone know how long these pre-order pages will be available for?

 

[g67575]

CPU + other stuff can be done later, GPU upgrade can be done easily, then just see how it performs in games you play.

Earlier this week they were on sale for about 6 hours…

I see AMD haven't included any ray tracing results, I know which card I would put my money on in Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing on

 

[elrasho]

I have the same CPU OP... with my 1080Ti I can play anything at 1440p.

If I was you get a 3070 or 3060Ti, the DLS feature will do wonders for future proofing

Don't bother upgrading your cpu and ram unless you want to game at higher resolutions, they are fine for 1440p.
