What the title says. I can tolerate rather old cards that still constitute a decent upgrade, such as the better 20xx series or amd equivalents and what not. I will buy the proper psu to feed it before I actually buy the card.

        Ahh I think that’s what borked my system a few days ago. Corrupted postfix service and I had to spend an evening finding out how to re-install it and the driver, which I ended up having to reinstall twice.

      Possibly, yes. Are the drivers that hard to get working? Also does that relate to the whole raytracing ai, blur and or ghosting artifacts?

        If you plan on using you GPU at all currently don’t buy Nvidia, the drivers are a mess and they’ve been blackmailing reviewers.

        I think ‘themoonisacheese’ meant to reply to you. They’re Just a shitty company overall.

    At this point you’ll be paying 2 times as much for a 2080 Ti vs a $300 9060XT to get worse performance and spend more energy. It is a 7 year old architecture afterall.

    I mean, do what want, no judgements here. The 2080 Ti was kind of a beast and it’s impressive that it can run stuff as well as it does, but it’s also at the level a lot of people would start considering an update. I’d get a newer AMD card with 16GB of RAM

    I just replaced my 1060 with a 6700XT And have no complaints, price was good and the card runs all my stuff fine.

    Whatever you get, make sure it has a decent amount of vram.

    What CPU do you have? Chances are, the age of your CPU will limit how much newer you can go for a gfx card. I’ve been using a Radeon 6950XT for about a year now, and it’s been excellent without breaking the bank. Right now, the 9070XT is the new hotness, matching the performance of the RTX 5070 TI / 4080 super at a lower price.

        Your CPU is close to the age of mine. I have an Intel 9900KF. A Radeon 6900XT or 6950XT would be very compatible and a large jump without bottlenecking.

        AI artifacts are going to usually come from frame generation, while blurring and ghosting tend to come from TAA. AMD doesn’t have any AI-speciqfic Chipsets built into their cards, as far as I know.
