A graphics card upgrade for a Ryzen 3600 in c/buildapc@lemmy.world

I think I might actually be lucky. I found one sweet deal already. So I think it's a likely candidate even though it's maybe a bit overkill for my setup.

Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for your reply. I think I would be aiming for ~100 FPS. I'll consider the 3080 during my hunt!

A graphics card upgrade for a Ryzen 3600 (feddit.org)
 

Hey everybody! I am currently thinking about upgrading my graphics card, because I upgraded my monitor to 1440p.

My PC is currently running a Ryzen 5 3600 with 16 GB RAM and a RX 480 8GB that I have since forever. I don't really play any recent AAA titles, but I would be happy if I could run games like Metro:Exodus or DarkSouls3 smoothly.

One thing that would be a huge improvement would also be if the card was rather quiet, current card is rather loud due to running at max most of the time for modern games.

I was thinking about maybe buying a RX 7800 XT if I can get a good Black Friday deal on it.

I am a bit hesitant about getting a 3060Ti because it only sports 8 GB VRAM and I always had the feeling that the 8GB VRAM prolonged the lifetime of my RX 480 quite substantially.

My budget is between 300€ - 450€ (I'm currently living in Germany if that matters)

I'm happy to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

TLDR: I'm searching for a replacement for my Rx 480 8GB between 300€ - 450€ for 1440p gaming, a quiet card would be a plus

I don't know if it counts, but I think the source code of Freespace 2 was released eventually und a non-profit license. The community did some great things with it, especially the Blue Planet campaign.

God, I loved this game.
