Deciding on a GPU should come down to the resolution you plan on gaming at. You should also consider your monitor. There’s little point buying a 2080 Ti for a 1080p monitor with a refresh rate of just 60Hz unless you plan on getting a new one. There’s also the factor of display sync technology. Those with AMD FreeSync displays will need an AMD GPU to truly enjoy stutter-free gaming, while NVIDIA display owners will require an NVIDIA GPU.
If you plan to play games at 1440p or 4K at a later date, you will need to get something like theXFX AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT RAW IIorEVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XC Ultra Gaming. These two GPUs will let you game at either resolution, though the 2080 Ti is vastly more expensiveandpowerful.
It’s possible to save money without sacrificing performance too much with our mid-tier suggestions. Going with either theXFX AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT RAW II PROorASUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPERwill allow you to enjoy your favorite titles at 1440p.
