Gpu ideas
Had a previous question asking a similar question, building first pc and gpu options, heard that there might be new nvidia cards out at the start of next year and there might be an announcement about new amd cards then so do i buy now or wait, if i wait do i buy a second hand card now or a new lower tier card now, if they do come out at the start of next year will probably not but straight away so this card i buy now will need to last at least 6-12 months.
budget: no idea but not excessive under £400 with the ability to sell on later.
current potential build:
9800x3d
msi b850 edge ti
64gb ram
will game at 1440p. dont really want any that use the 16 pin connector.thanks.

Try looking at a 9700x instead of a 9800x3d and you can spend the extra on the gpu putting you into 9070xt or nearly 5070ti territory over 60 series cards.

The 9800x3d is kind of wasted on entry level gpu's anyway.

The 'new' cards are the 'super' variants of the 5070 to 5080offering more vram and a bit higher power limit, if they lower the existing cards prices and drop the new ones in at their current prices is unlikely I'd say.

thanks for the reply, not sure what they will announce in terms of new amd cards?

I haven't even seen a rumour that AMD had anything new coming tbh.

The increase in vram is not as interesting as the higher power limits on the nvidia cards tbh as the 50 series is severely starved for power.

yeah its just a rumor that there might be an announcement early next year but who knows, maybe i am just delaying because i have never spent a large amount on a gpu before, i think the most i have spent was £150.

Well you should notice quite the upgrade atleast though the alure of more and more eye candy at higher fps is a slippery slope.

For my money (and I have the 5060ti), id stick with nvidia for dlss/frame gen over AMD's offerings

Intel Arc B780
It's $399 and reportedly has the performance between an RTX 5070 and RTX 5080. Downside is that it's not released yet, and looks to be a Dec release.

the intel dedicated gpus are kinda oddballs
they do not support dx9 on a hardware level, so the cpu has to do the transcoding to dx10-12 so the gpu can run it

takes much more cpu on older dx9 games
but if the game supports dx10+ or vulkan it will run just fine

and always check for their driver updates as they have fixes for specific games
also use the intel forums to report bugs/errors in dx9 games so they can fix them in later patches

I would either buy the 5060Ti(no 12v-2x6) or the 5070Ti, depending on the price.

AMD is nice and all, but DLSS and FG is still better on nvidia.

Imho by the time yo can buy the new super cards at msrp will be next summer if the announce them at CES 2025 and the release follows the 5000 series dates.
