My 2080ti died today. I haven’t been keeping up with PC hardware, what are some good replacements/upgrades? I game at 1440p and I’d like to be able to go max settings at 60fps.

From my quick research it seems like the 4070 super (or super ti) is good but I’m also curious what AMD is offering. My budget is pretty flexible but ideally id like to keep it around 1250 CAD

    I would sugvest the 4070 Ti Super because I think you will longer graphical performance out of it than Radeon, and sinse path tracing is the way of the future, nVidia stands on their own.

    Sure at any price point Radeon can put up higher numbers, but as soon as you turn on lighting like raytracing and path tracing, the numbers for Radeon fall off.

    I k.ow there is continuous debates about how pointless raytracing is, or what Unreal Engine calls Lumen I believe, but look at 5 games who promote raytracing as a selling point for the game with the feature turned on and how it looks turned off, and also look at the difference between raytracing and path tracing, and I argue it’s only going to get better than the current iteration, thereby making it the way of the future for games so buy a GPU that is better prepared for future new releases.
