    Question Upgrade from gtx 970

    ok so with the new releases and info out my choices have changed. I'm between a 5700 xt and 2060/2070 super (more leaning toward the 2070 for to have rendering power) I was considering just the 2060 super initially but when the benchmarks for the 5700 xt came out it had me rethink things and...

    Question Wait or just buy

    Kinda int he same boat, I'm not in immediate need of a new GPU but it's the last thing I haven't upgraded in my new build which I built last year and I feel like I've held off for a year because of all these rumors, new cards, etc. I'm also going to go for a 2060 after some discussions in my...

    Question Upgrade from gtx 970

    I was doing some more looking at performance tests and I think I'm at going with a 2060 now, as I was seeing the same type of comparisons. Now as for brand, I've mostly gone EVGA in the past due to recommendation and warranty is good. For a 2060 would they still be good to go with or is there a...

    Question Upgrade from gtx 970

    I'm in no big rush to upgrade since like I mentioned my card is still working fine right now. But it is something I definitely want to do. Is there any idea when AMD will make the announcement? I'm fine with just an announcement just so I can get an idea but I'd really rather not wait another...

    Question Upgrade from gtx 970

    Yeah I was looking at the 1660 to earlier and I definitely like that price point much better. I do game on my PC but not hardcore but I like things to look as nice as I can within reason if that makes sense lol. Otherwise just casual stuff and I do 3D work but nothing extremely heavy. It's...

    Question Upgrade from gtx 970

    I want to say max $400, since I want a decent upgrade and want it to last awhile. Originally before the new series was even announced I was planning on getting a 1070 ti but their prices have seemed to go up in terms of finding one new if you even can. I don't feel like I need to go with a 2070...

    Question Upgrade from gtx 970

    So I upgraded my pc beginning of last year but held off on a graphics card since new cards were still coming out and mine was still running fine. I've been looking casually but still, am not sure what is a worthy upgrade if any at this point. My 970 still works fine but with the upcoming spec...

    New 2017 Build for 3D, Rendering, & gaming - Now Built but having small issue

    Did a little more looking around based on your updates, this is where I'm currently at. The $0 stuff are things that I'm bringing over from my previous build (Video card which I'll update to a 1070 later and 2 hard drives that are just data drives). I decided to go back down to 16gb for the...
