Question 1070 Ti vs 2060

[james.shaw]

I have about $375 to spend on a graphics card for my first rig. I was considering getting the 2060 as it seems the best bang for my buck. Before I made my purchase however, I found a 1070ti on sale for $360. The only issue with this card though is that it has a blower style fan which from my understanding, causes the card to run much hotter. Should I buy the 1070 ti that runs quite a bit hotter or stick with the 2060. Ray tracing is a cool idea, but not a deal breaker.

New technologies is always better than past generations.

You have already seen a disadvantage in the 1070Ti, and also the 2060 is cheaper so the best choice between both is the 2060.

Go with the RTX 2060.....much better card!!! You will be very happy!

and nothing is worth than a blower style cooler....

Do you think that only 6gb of VRAM will become an issue quickly?

We simply don't know. At 1080p you should be just fine. Also blower fans are never good.

6gb not enough for "benchmark" games at ultra settings these days.

The 2060 is the best card for a budged of $375
