Hey everyone. I hope somebody can help me decide, since this is apparently a decision i cannot take my self. I have a MSI 1080 GAMING X+ and a ASUS STRIX RTX 2060. I play CS2 4:3 1280 1024, with a 8700K 4.9 ghz, 16GB 3200mhz. Any tips would be appreciated.

Question 1080 or 2060? I have both available.

Technically speaking, the 1080 is still a more powerful card than the 2060. The 2060 uses a bit less power but it is fairly marginal.
Age and use over the years could be a big issue since the 1080 could well have been part of two crypto booms.

My guess is that with that game at that resolution and that CPU, it doesn't matter. I'd be surprised if both of those cards weren't limited by the CPU.

I would say pass on the 2060, and try to get a 2060 Super or non super 2070. The performance difference over a vanilla 2060 is very noticeable.

You say you have both of them, so why not play CS:GO and/or your other games with both and see what you like better?

I think this might be the most recent review that actually has both the 2060 and 1080 seems they're both pretty much the same so it's just featureset: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/evga-geforce-rtx-3060-xc/29.html
