[SOLVED] Cheaper brand new GTX 1080 or A little bit more expensive RTX 2060 Super?

[marfileviardo]

Hello guys!

I am planning to upgrade my gtx 1060 6gb because my friend wants to buy my GPU. So I am now planning to purchase my new GPU but I can't decide between a $342 usd GTX 1080 (Brand new) or a $440 usd RTX 2060 Super (Brand new)? Can you please help me decide which of the two gpu is better in terms of performance and price? I will appreciate your advice and opinions regarding this matter. Thanks!

what exactly are you going to do with the graphics card? for gaming? for editing?

They are comparable, with the 1080 maybe a few frames ahead of the 2060 in certain games. It's up to you, if money is concerned the 1080 is still a great card, if its not personally I would rather have the newer 2060.

Thank you very much for your advice, I will think about it and ask for other opinions.

If they were close in price, I'd default to taking the newer one. But at a $100 price differential and both still new, I'd have to go with the GTX 1080 unless

The 1080 is still a beef card. For 100 bucks less, get the 1080.
