I'm looking into probably the 3060 Ti for $399 when that materializes, or a 3070 for $499 (which is insane value considering it is equivalent to the 2080ti).

The market hasn't been this competitive since like the mid-2000's.
I am shocked how good the Big Navi ended up being. I never bought into the hype and I was wrong. |

3070 will be my next card...
That said, AMD released their next line, Big Navi and RDNA 2. Which is supposed to be pretty impressive. And will also lower the prices of their current lineup quite a bit. |

No reason to look at 20 series nvidia cards when you can rock a 3070. The RT performance on 2 series cards is trash, or wait a lil bit and get that 6700.
Ive got a 1080ti laying on my desk that would be perfect, but used its gonna run ya in that same 3-400 range, with performance on par with a 2080 and no RT |

Tip: If you want to compare video cards, simply go to Google, and type your comparison, like "AMD 6500 vs. GTX 2080."
Userbenchmark.com normally has an exact performance comparison for every card, along with an average price point. Be sure and compare, and note the price differences. Sometimes a card can cost $100 more, but not really give you that much actual real world performance increase for what you're using it for. Technically the same goes for CPUs, etc. |

More research done on the subject. The processor I have bottlenecks performance after the 5600XT/2060 and even then I'm gonna have to OC the processor by about 10% to get there.
Now... I get to decide. Do I pick up the 5600XT or do I get the 2060 so that I, at least, get a taste or RT. Last edited by Mephistopheles Janx; 11-07-2020 at 02:51 AM.. |

Forget 2 series cards and RT. Especially in a 2060. What good is RT if your only getting 17 FPS.

For example, im rocking a 3090, 1440p ultra settings with RT on, in games like watch dog legion im getting 52 fps at 1440p, and that card is literally 4x as powerful in RT performance than a 2060.
To be fair, im getting about 140 fps in Warzone with RT on, but that still translates to something like 30~ fps on a 2060 to one of the better performing RT games. Get the most raster performance you can for your dollar. And that is likely a 3070 (or a 3080 if you have the lil extra cash), and that gives you an upgrade path later as well. Dont buy one of these last gen cards on the cusp of the new wave if you are looking from a value standpoint. |

I'm still rocking a 1070ti at 1080p and dont feel any need to upgrade. I'm still getting 100+ FPS in most everything I play because I always change the settings so that the most ridiculous graphics that you dont notice aren't eating away at performance. |

I'm basically shopping for this current build's last ever video card. I'm gonna OC my 4770K (3.5GHz) to match a 4790K (4.0 GHz) and OC the memory (unknown specs on that as of yet) to give this build one last contract in it's HOF career. I didn't feel the need to upgrade from my RX 570 / 24" 1080p monitor as much as we needed another monitor in the house so I went ahead and bought something that would be as future proof as I could afford. Now I'm trying to drive it as effectively as possible under the circumstances. |
