is your PSU old? because if it isn't, there isn't much of a hurry to upgrade it either

It seems you're considering allocating the £200 toward a more powerful GPU, though it may not be sufficient on its own (you'll also need a better PSU). A 5600 and a 4070 or 7800XT would work well for non-competitive 1440p gaming.

Looking for a quicker GPU under £200 instead of the 3070? That seems unlikely, but maybe there are savings options available.

He should set aside the £200 for purchasing a higher-quality GPU. A 3070 could likely be sold for about £300, while a 7800XT is worth around £500, making the idea feasible.

Absolutely, it's a solid choice if you don't plan to upgrade soon. My 5800x3d should hold up for a while—probably a few more years.

Also - I think upgrading a 3070 isn't worth it right now. Let's discuss that when the 50XX comes out. Yeah, it feels tempting, but I usually get 150 to 300+ fps pretty much everywhere. More isn't always better, there are definitely diminishing returns. I tried playing OW at 330p fps — *disgusting* lol, could you give me 165fps (my screen's refresh rate) and we're good?

its fine, it may be morally wrong, but its anazon right, they'll be fine i returned a 1070 after 2 months just to get the then brandnew 3070 instead! it's fine, its even in their rules, they still live on, bezos doing everything he can do destroy the planet anyway, he'll be doing fine (on mars, with his buddy elon x lol)

If he were using OW or CS at 1080p, he should use 5800X3D with his 3070. However, OP mentions playing RPGs and other demanding games at 1440p, where the same GPU struggles due to its limited 8GB VRAM.

Sure, the situation varies by game. I haven’t seen anything my system can handle, though I usually stick to max settings around 1440p and 330+fps. It’s a bit strange playing games with higher FPS than your monitor refresh rate—some people find it annoying. Of course, you should play shooters at the lowest possible settings, but I can’t see much of anything. Max settings or death, that’s what really matters.

By the way, some titles have VRAM limits, like Monster Hunter World, for example in 2016. Yes, this isn’t unusual, though it hasn’t really affected me much. I usually used low volumetric lighting and it didn’t cause any issues. Just a bit of fog, honestly. But as mentioned, VRAM is probably the main factor when you have 8GB.

The frame rate in CP2077 Ultra (and likely with RT) is typically around 60 FPS.
