What do you have now?
RX 580
Go for the best used 3XXX series card you can get your hands on. The 4XXX series seems to be for if you have a top of the line system and are trying to really push the envelope in VR.
Keep in mind your graphics card may be just part of your troubles. I noticed Hogwarts Legacy wouldn’t run on my old AM3 & DDR3 system with a Vega64. I swapped to a 5800x CPU and DDR4 ram while keeping the Vega 64 and it finally ran smoothly.
Nah, GPU is definitely the only bottleneck rn. We doin Ryzen 9 7900 with DDR5 64gb@6000MHz CL16 (not the best timing, but also not the worst). Runnin on ASRock B650 PG Lightning and primary NVMe storage.
That said I don't have VR gear yet, nor do I plan to buy any in the next 6 months. Might consider Index2 though once it comes out.
But yeah not too convinced on 4XXX series yet myself. Could DLSS3 be sweet? Maybe, it's not really implemented by anything yet. Starfield won't even ship with it due to AMD exclusivity. BG3 might have it, and Remnant 2, but DLSS2 is plenty enough.
For resolution my main's 1440p@165Hz, but using it at 120Hz. Secondary's an old 1080p@60Hz.
So basically 3060ti is more than enough for now*.
Nice setup! Plus side of the 3060ti is that you could auction it off in 6 months for near the same price you paid.
Starfield may push me to upgrade my system yet again depending on how well that plays.
Cl16 ?? That is the best timing if true. Never heard of ddr5 running anywhere close to that.
