It's been 8 years since I bought it and it still runs like a champ but ideally I'd like to actually utilize the 4k portion of my monitors.
Current Build:
Processor:
Ryzen 7 3700X
Motherboard:
ASUS B550-F
RAM:
32GB DDR4
GPU:
GTX 1060 6GB
Ideally I'd like to hit at least 16GB of VRAM since I'm of the opinion that if I'm gonna spend more than $500 on a graphics card, it better at least last the next decade of new releases gaming wise. My motherboard can probably stand an upgrade too since I have a bunch of unused USB-C ports due to the fact that the B550-F doesn't have any 3.1 headers.
Don't really have a budget but I'm posting this in the hopes someone will tell me "don't buy the 4080 super you idiot" and inform me of a better, cheaper, alternative
.
obviously YES I will be running windows, linuxheads please remain calm
True but why not save money in the meantime. If you're sticking with nvidia your best bet is 3000 series cards as the 4000 series are not as good of a value for not much more performance.
I picked up a laptop last year with similar specs but a 3080TI and if those are coming down in price, would recommend. Absolutely tanks everything I've thrown at it so far on max settings.
I had a 1070 for about 6 or 7 years that did really well! It was still chugging along when I got the new laptop, but other parts of it were breaking down so thats why I upgraded.
