Hello everyone,
I am thinking about upgrading my graphics card and cannot decide between a few options. I currently have an R9 290 Tri x with a 144 hz 1080p Freesync monitor and an i5-8400.
I am thinking about grabbing a newer graphics card to squeeze out some more frames and some better graphics for games like The Witcher 3. The Vega 56 and the 1070 ti are very similar in prices I have found (both $350), but they are used at least slightly (I fear the Vega may have been used for mining but just speculating).
I am sort of stuck and don't know where to go with my build. I don't know what a difference Freesync makes. And I've seen other people say 1080p isn't even worth it nowadays.
Any insight on the topic is much appreciated.
