[SOLVED] 1070 TI or 2060 ?

[thinkfast690]

Hello, I want to upgrade my 1050 TI , but i don't know what should I buy between a 1070 TI or 2060 or anything else that's worth the upgrade. I originally wanted to go for the 1070 TI but I am unsure. Thank you.

2060. Performance and price are about the same and RTX is the future, for better or worse.

Well I'm not saying I'd pick a GPU by the amount of vram it has, but won't 8GBs be more useful than 6GBs at some point?

The 2060's performance is excellent at 1440P even with high/max detail in today's games. I suspect that if/when/by the time more VRAM is required for tomorrow's games, the card can only be utilized then for 1080P gaming, at which point 6 GB of VRAM would be enough...

If one truly believes 8 GB of VRAM will be an issue soon, get the 1070 Ti...; the performance differences between the two are about nil at running almost everything today anyway...

I've seen reviews that talk about this and it doesn't seem to be a problem for the current generation of games. By the time it is a problem, you will be ready for the next thing.

You are comparing GDDR5 with GDDR6... https://www.faceofit.com/gddr5-vs-gddr6/

That 6gb is way better in throughput allocation than the 8gb. You should go with 2060.
