I wouldn't go above a 6700XT or a 3070 so anything like a lower end Nvidia 2060Super to a 3060 12G, 3060Ti. Or AMD 5700XT, 6600, 6600XT, 6700XT will most likely be enough

[-]

flatgreyrust@reddit

I have a 3060 ti with a 144hz 1080p monitor and it’s perfect. I get between 60-144 fps depending on the game, all high settings minimum.

[-]

Prestigious_Use6803@reddit

None of them will handle ray tracing tho

[-]

Appropriate_Road_501@reddit

Depends what you're willing to put up with. My laptop 3060 6gb can run Cyberpunk med-RT at around 20-30fps. A PC tier card likely gives a bit more. 30fps can be perfectly playable for some.

Personally I don't like RT much anyway so don't really use it.

[-]

What's the point in buying a card and then play at 20-30fps games are only getting more demanding. Op needs a 4070 if he wants a descent rt experience. The 4060 struggles a to keep 60fps 1080 in AAA games, activate rt and performance drops to 40ish, to me this is unacceptable and would rather turn it off

[-]

XiTzCriZx@reddit

The 4060 struggles a to keep 60fps 1080 in AAA games, activate rt and performance drops to 40ish

But if you use DLSS then it can usually keep a steady 60fps, even my 2070 Super can still get 60fps with RT and DLSS on with most games.

[-]

Prestigious_Use6803@reddit

Yeah but you cant activate DLSS for every game and most important it doesn't look good at 1080p. Op should get a 4070 or just wait and see the 5060

[-]

XiTzCriZx@reddit

Most games that have ray tracing support also have DLSS, though idk about DLSS 3 since my card doesn't support that. I do agree with waiting until 50 series, it'll probably be a while until the low end is released so OP might need a cheap temporary card if they plan to build it soon.

[-]

Grrumpy_Pants@reddit

It's 1080p, having more vram won't do much. OP also specifically asked for recommendations for ray tracing performance.

[-]

Lost-Experience-5388@reddit

Well yea, but I just checked a few games and... It depends on title and basic vram usage of a specific game

But its safe to say that if a game with an AAA game on high settings with ray tracing exceeds orvclosing in on 8gb then at least a 10gb or 12gb card is safer anf offer at least 10% more fps and generally 50% more 1% lows

Source: https://youtu.be/_-j1vdMV1Cc?si=jiaJGXIVeKT1W8mO

12gb is the sweetspot I suppose. But then again 4060 16gb is quite price. Then I recommend 7800XT 16gb with 50% more overall performance (compared to 4060 16gb version) with acceptable ray tracing

EmotionalJelly2201@reddit

We don't need budget when we know he's interested only in 1080p and ray tracing in 5 games that support it.

I had the exact same predicament, I needed a new graphics, I don't care for anything except fullHD and I stream a lot over steam link which will lead to loss of quality either way. And mine is not Ti at all. Is 4070 more capable? Yes. Is it twice as good at fullHD to cover double the price? Fuk no.

[-]

beirch@reddit

You're missing the point. OP asked what the best 1080p card is. Technically that would be the 4090, as it is the most powerful GPU available. That's the reason people are answering that when not given a budget restriction.

Yes, partly as a joke, partly technicality. It's to remind OP that they need to be more specific.

If you target high/ultra settings and want it to last for some time then 8gb of vram is not ideal, I'd say something like rx6750xt/rx7700/rx6800 for high refresh and reasonable price, I personally bought an rtx3060 12gb for my girlfriend, it's decent for 60hz a monitor. Unluckily very few decent Nvidia options, but in any case it depends on what you value most

makes sense... ngl I got EVGA 3060 XC 12gb - and probably why not paying attn to this shit... also prior to going Nvidia this build I had an ATI (AMD) Radeon 6990 4gb and was the "opposite of the 690" - in 2011 & of which died finally 9 years later in 2020 a year just about before started buying parts and/or finishing this PC last week of 2021

but with GPU shortage, ngl I was looking on FB marketplace for a compatible midrange GPU - for a RX 590, 5000/6000 series AMD, and found 1 3060 also... emailed like 4 different sellers - of which the 3060 guy answered first and then for 3 fkn days after the 5000 series guy "you want this or not?" "NO sorry, hit 4 people up and just told you 'hate to be the bearer of bad news' and alrdy found a GPU" and then he legit began to troll me and threatened me on some bs and I blocked em like damn chill u rly mad af that I was shopping around during the shortage? I didn't even lie and told you "the obvious best choice 3060 guy hmu first and omw to check it out"

Look up Tom's hardware GPU ranking.

There is no one size fits all answer. It also depends on what kind of games. Some games are better optimised than others. A slower game is easier on GPU than faster game.

Some people also aren't too picky when it comes to graphics settings. If you can't tell the difference between high and medium, then there is no need to go for high settings.

Budget is also very important.

don’t listen to them. for 1080p you need a better CPU and you will be good to go. if you go 1440p 2160p then you will need a better GPU. almost any where you see on forums or channels on youtube they will tell you the same thing.

1080p 60+ FPS with RT? 4070 Super at the very least. You better have a killer CPU to go with it. A lower resolution with RT on is gonna batter it.

[-]

Mocha_Bean@reddit

That's not how this works. Lower resolution does not increase CPU load. Higher framerates correlate with higher CPU load, and lower resolution helps you hit higher framerates.

But if you're targeting 1080p at 60 FPS with RT, your CPU requirements aren't going to be any higher than if you were aiming for 4K at 60 FPS with RT.

Minimum_Duck_4707@reddit

Agreed this is where the 7800x3d is best at.

[-]

sonido_lover@reddit

7800x3d is pretty much overkill for 1080p

[-]

MarxistMan13@reddit

1080p is more demanding on CPU than higher resolutions, because GPUs can push higher framerates at lower resolutions. CPU demand is not dictated by resolution, it's dictated by scene complexity and number of draw calls (framerate).

[-]

Minimum_Duck_4707@reddit

The CPU feeds the GPU and the GPU executes the graphics load. By cranking down the resolution and detail, and having a high end GPU....the GPU can accomplish these easy jobs the CPU is giving it, very quickly. It basically sits around (computer timing) and waits for more CPU instructions.

Conversely if you crank the resolution up (way more to draw) and increase the detail "Ultra" settings then the GPU can get overloaded and the CPU then waits for the GPU do be ready for some more instructions.

[-]

MagnanimosDesolation@reddit

Luckily they're not going to get many frames with RT on.

[-]

sublime2craig@reddit

7800x3d is the ultimate 1080p CPU and is absolutely the best for high refresh rate 1080p gaming. To give you an example, it beats the 7700x by 25% in a 16 game average. 1080p gaming is more CPU bound than GPU bound so if you're going for competitive 1080p gaming it's a no brainer to go with the 7800x3d over higher clocked CPUs...

[-]

Minimum_Duck_4707@reddit

Lol....I am not sure understand how things work.

At 1080p once you get to a certain level of GPU, say a 4070ti, your GPU will be waiting on the CPU so your system/games become bottle necked by the CPU.

This is why reviewers that benchmark gaming CPU's choose 1080p, low settings and put a 4090 in the system they are testing with. This ensures that system/game is 100% CPU bottle necked and then you can compare CPU's to see which one is better for gaming.

Once you got to 1440p or higher, and say high setting or better, the bottle neck shifts to the GPU and you can actually drop down your CPU to say a 7600x/13600k because the CPU is now waiting on the GPU and a 7800x3d is overkill in most cases.

If you upgrade your GPU to a 4090, it might be waiting on the CPU in some games at higher resolutions and then 7800x3d would be again needed. However if you turn on ultra settings, and RT, even the mighty 4090 will get crushed in many new games, at 1440p and higher and the GPU is still a bottleneck.

Also, something people hardly mention is the hz of your monitor. If you have a 60hz or 144hz monitor it does not matter much if you system can push out 200+fps average or 1% lows as it not being used. The goal is try to balance out the CPU/GPU/monitor resolution/hz, and preferred game setting and not buy too much or too little hardware. Example I have a 1440p monitor with 165hz. I try to target 60fps at the absolute minimum with high settings, no RT. This gets me 90+ in all games that I play and in some games I can crank up the settings to ultra and still get 120fps+.

[-]

aRandomBlock@reddit

[-]

KTTalksTech@reddit

Meh. On 1080p native with path tracing even the 4090 really struggles to get a respectable framerate. Everything is relative. For 1080p entirely rasterized yeah I agree it's overkill.

CtrlAltDesolate@reddit

At what refresh rate? Massive difference between what you'll need at 60hz, 144hz or 240hz, etc.

If you're wanting RT performance, you're going to want the best card your budget allows for without skimping on the CPU.

For 60hz, a 4070 or 7900gre will have you covered.

For 120hz and up, I'd go for at least a 4070ti if you don't wanna rely on DLSS.

[-]

NSchulmeister@reddit

Monitor hz has nothing to do with FPS.
FPS is FPS, Monitor Refresh Rate is Monitor Refresh Rate.
More hz means your monitor is able to show the frames more precisely upon them being sent to your monitor, as it will refresh more times per second. If you play 60fps with 60hz, changing to 144hz but keeping the 60fps is already a major difference as every frame will be shown at the right moment without them waiting the next monitor refresh.
You can play at any FPS at any Refresh Rate, this is the worst way to compare GPUs performance i have ever read.

[-]

CtrlAltDesolate@reddit

You're right but it's widely accepted to refer to them this way as is way, and it's less confusing to people not to see "FPS" written multiple times in different contexts.

sulliwhy@reddit

The best 1080p gpu I can think of would be a used 6800 or 3070, but if you want to go new 7600xt. All of those are around 300 dollars.

Pair any of these with a 7500f or a 5600x for peam 1080 :]

CruzControls@reddit

I have a 4070ti, 240+ frames consistently with anything I play on low/medium settings (very rarely ever higher than that, but I still get good frames on high/ultra) at 1080p

AKplank@reddit

I have a 4060. Slaps. Runs everything at 1080 or 1440 smooth

[-]

shittypants123@reddit

4070 super and above I think should be good but tbh I don't really know since I don't care about RT. Just from what I've heard. You can also watch plenty of benchmarks on the desired games.

clare416@reddit

OP, you should stated your budget first and foremost. Since you're not that's why you're getting some kinda trolling reply that's not wrong since 4090 is literally the best for 1080p even tho it is massively overkill

Even better if you can provide some other info like the target performance: 60/120/144/165/240/360 FPS (just to give an idea), Ultra/High settings, Ray tracing, etc.

Also equally important is the game you want to play the most since: - some games are more CPU dependent - eSports, MMO and older AAA games should be fine with sub-$200 GPU

You can consider RTX 3060 12GB/4060 or RX 6650XT/7600

[-]

NoHopeHubert@reddit

Yeah GPU recommendations are such an easy question to be answered if there’s no budget provided haha

[-]

asdjklghty@reddit

For AMD used 6700 XTs are cheap or a new 6750 XT is the best value for an upgraded 1080p build.

UnNamedBlade@reddit

What games though? If ypur playing older games even a 20xx card should be fine. If your wanting newer games a more powerful card is going to be needed.

Either way, you probably wont want anything better than a 3070 I would guess. Look around online for what other cards are around that level and see whats available second hand or in stores.

A_Random_Sidequest@reddit

I play on 1080p and even my 6700XT isn't "enough" for some games... so, a 5090ti is the best one...

7600XT, 4060ti 16gb, 7700XT, 7800XT, 4070 Super.
It always depends on the price.

Last gen should also be ok. 6600XT, 6700XT.

[-]

Lost-Experience-5388@reddit

I this this
If ray tracing is very important for OP then nvidia's, if vram then go for amd's

[-]

KoldPurchase@reddit

Forget rt in 1080rt with a 4070, it barely has enough vram to run the modern games.

[-]

Lost-Experience-5388@reddit

Yea, nvidia is just sabotaging itself...
But it seems OP is just up for rt. My heart says to choose 7600XT, its just soo good at fhd around 100fps in most games at high settings at great budget😍

[-]

slowlybecomingsane@reddit

RT uses VRAM and many 1080p targeting cards have insufficient VRAM to actually use RT to its full potential. 4060ti 16gb would be my recommendation, but it's not a good value card at all. It's just the cheapest card that would handle pretty much anything at 1080p without making compromises. The 4070 super would be better bang for buck.

RX 6800 for a budget, 7800XT for a bigger budget, 4070TI Super for an even bigger budget.

[-]

LordAkam@reddit

For what i've found looking for one for myself, for nvidia i would go for 3060 12gb, 4060 ti or used 3070, in amd 7600xt, 7700xt, haven't look anything in the rx 6000 series

[-]

beirch@reddit

The 3060 12gb is substantially weaker than the 4060ti and 3070, something like 30-40%. The 3060Ti is much closer.

[-]

GrassyDaytime@reddit

Can't go wrong with a 6700xt, 6750xt, or 6800. 6000 series cards are great value these days. Ive got a Powercolor Fighter 6700xt and it runs anything I throw at it.

[-]

LordAkam@reddit

Thanks i'm actually considering a power color fighter 7700xt, i will compare it to the ones you suggested

[-]

GrassyDaytime@reddit

Powercolor makes fantastic cards. Can't go wrong with them. Build quality is excellent.

Jokes aside you have a lot of options

Nvidia - 3060, 3060 Ti, 4060, 4060 Ti, 3070

AMD - 6600 XT, 6650 XT, 6700, 6700 XT, 6750 XT

Intel - ARC A750

GPU usage tops out pretty quickly at 1080p. It simply doesn't take a large graphical demand. You'll end up with a lot of overhead not being used unless you have a monitor with high refresh rates. 1080p gets a ton out of its CPU because of the inherently higher framerates you can get from your GPU. Really it's about finding a good balance between the two with the budget you have rather than getting the strongest thing you can afford.

I recommend a minimum; 1080p 144/165hz IPS panel ( go 240hz if you're big into competitive FPS), 4060ti 16gb (for longevity, avoid the 8gb version), and an intel 12600k/12700k/12900k (depending on other computer uses). If you prefer AMD, then simply the equivalent of those (7700XT, 5600x).

As of now, those benchmarks can handle everything at 1080p with raytracing and dlss enabled. Nvidia is better at the ray tracing side so I recommend that over AMD. For CPU, AMD is the better option tbh. If you have the budget, go AM5 and get the ddr5 6000mhz cl30 ram to go with it.

The higher you go, the more longevity you will have. Those recs are simply what work well right now. You'd probably get 4-5 years out of that if not more. Add better specs and you get more time.

1080p cards last much longer than higher resolutions. My 8gb 5700xt in my second system runs cyberpunk at ultra with pretty solid frames (no raytracing). That's a five year old card. It's paired with a simple i5-12400 (a processor that I sincerely love. Super underrated).

vargavision@reddit

AM4 - if you're on a budget:

AMD 6700xt (if you can score a Sapphire Nitro+ at a good price grab it), Nvidia 3060 (16gb), Ryzen 7 5700X3D, 32GB Memory. 12 Generation Intel. X570 Motherboard (AMD), Z690 (Intel). 850w Gold PSU.

AM5 if you want to spend more, but not burn your wallet (and upgrade the CPU and GPU down the road):

B650 Motherboard. Sapphire Nitro+ 6700xt or XFX 6700XT, Nvidia 3080, AMD Ryzen 7700. 12 or 13 Gen Intel. 850w Gold PSU.

The AM4 boards available are used in the market, but you can score an open box or refurb at a good price.

If you decide AM5 get the motherboard and PSU new since they're still available at said brand's site or at their stores on Amazon/eBay.

I swear if I see someone say 4060 or 4060Ti. Only decent gpu is the Samsung Ryzen 6090KS XTX. Most gpus hardly run in 1080p, its very demanding.

redditingatwork23@reddit

A $180 used 3060ti could probably play most games on ultra 100fps without RT.

If you really don't want to think about it for a few years, then a 4070 Super. DLSS and frame gen will carry you on RT for a few years.

[-]

you should probably buy a rx 6600 or u can buy a used rx 5700 xt on ebay

4060

[-]

Syntax36@reddit

Honestly homie I don't feel like anybody is actually answering you. So here's an answer. The 2070 super delivers to exactly what you want. 1080p at 120fps all day long on 99% of titles. You can find them very cheap these days and they are a beast of a card.

[-]

Idk the 4060 / 7700xt were built for 1080p, so I’d say pick and choose whichever fits your needs.

i personally think the 3060 12gb is a great 1080p card, but i'm biased cause i have one lol. it does run anything you throw at it on max though

[-]

Final_Western_3580@reddit

Do you mean best economical GPU for 1080P gaming?

-For Entry Level 1080P, RX 6600, RX 7600, RTX 4060.

-If you're on a budget and want to get the bang for the buck, try RX 6700 XT/6750 XT

-If you want a card that can do high refresh rate 1080P, consider 7700 XT. If there is a 6800, available for cheaper, you can get that.

-If you want a card with viable Ray Tracing, consider RTX 4070 and above.

-Anything above like 7800 XT and RTX 4070 Super are overkill and more expensive.
