So, the time has come to upgrade my i7 4790k and GTX 760.
I’m looking at getting the following, but I’m stuck on what graphics card to get (this is something I am happy to replace in a couple of years, if I was to get something like the 4060)
PC specs that I have landed on.
- AMD 7800X3D
- 32gb of DDR5 6000Mhz CL36 rammy boys
- Gigabyte B650 ATX motherboard
- Noctua 140mm CPU cooler
I am carrying over the following from my old PC
- Case (Fractal Disign Pop)
- SSD storage
- EVGA 850w gold PSU
I am having difficulty picking a graphics card, I’m looking at the 4060, is there anything as good as from team Red that I could consider? I do plan on upgrading in a couple of years time.
AMD is between generations atm, new cards are announced, but you can’t get anything yet.
Their latest lineup was fantastic, but was more worth it at the higher end, and these are their last moments of being the “latest” AMD cards. Personally I aim to get an 7900 XTX or XT used the second they start dropping onto the used market at a lower price.
You could look at the 7600 which is about equivalent to the 4060. The 7700 can a push a lot more frames than the 4060, but it’s so close to the 7800 that you might as well get it instead.
That’s before considering DLSS and such. Nvidia also tends to get better fps per buck at the lower prices last I checked, unless you start considering used cards or discounted previous gen stock.
