My thinking, maybe justification, is that I don't need a next gen card, the current gen will fulfill my wants for some time to come. Certainly it's time for me to say goodbye to my 1080ti.

I'm also up for a new PSU. The 3 least expensive cards I'm looking at have a minimum recommend PSU rating of 800W and 750W.

@spcmafia What is your PSU rated at?

Honestly a 1080ti still holds a very respectable frame-rate. But getting a good deal on a current gen wouldn't hurt. Specially something like a 3080/68(9)00XT to see a significant difference. Ray tracing is nice to have, just not necessary, DLSS or FSR work pretty well and I would rather have a game that supports the latter.

I currently have a Corsair RMx 1000W PSU Fully modular. I had to switch because of my CPU/GPU/Cooling upgrades, plus better cable management. It was a little overkill, but I like to cover all my bases, plus it was a pretty good deal, $100 or so.

I’ll probably go with AMD this time around for a graphics card and then sell my 3070. Or I’ll run that sucker into the ground. My 5600x is faithful and I see it lasting a while. Though that 5800x3D is tempting…

I've always been Team AMD, back to ATI EGAWonder card. They've never let me down, but then I've never been someone to buy at the bleeding edge of Graphics technology.

^same reason i ended up with nvidia stuff. interesting how a different first choice led to a life-long reasoning

Man, I remember the days of ATI. One of the laptops I bought during Airborne School had an ATI graphics and it was a wonderful little computer. Served me well till it's ultimate demise.

I was just remembering my first fancy video card: An ATI FireGL (I was doing 3d modeling with Maya at the time). I really hope AMD somehow decides the can ease up on pricing - it's insane that more than half my PC cost is in that one piece.

I still don't remember what nVidia did to *really* piss me off, but they're on my "nope" list.

I remember why they pissed me off and I have a moral justification for not buying their cards.
Will their one card sale loss make a difference? Nope. Am I being petty? Yep.Does Nvidia care? Nope. But it's the only way I can say, so quietly that no one can hear, F*ck You.
