vs
https://au.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-6173-KR ~ $600

I will play CSGO competitive/ranked, PUBG, Rainbow 6 Siege & Assassin' Creed Unity/Odyssey.

Reckon need at least 60-75 FPS on 1080p Max-High Setting preferred.

2. Should I consider GTX 1070Ti, 1660/Ti or RTX 2060 instead?

See that was my question at the beginning, i had 1070 GTX and i still have it but i stashed it away just in case for a backup.
After a long research on the internet, the RTX 2060 is 20% faster than the GTX 1070.
So i have an RTX 2060 right now and its working perfectly.
Well its your choice to go with whatever GPU you want, but am giving you an advice thats it.
And if am not wrong, anyone can correct me on this, the RTX 2060 is much faster than 1660 TI its pretty much a cheap 1070 GTX thats it.

See that was my question at the beginning,

This is cheapest branded RTX 2060 in Oz I can find.. $500 too...

Well as i said, as you like and to be honest just go with one of the EVGA 1070's is better to be safe.
The RTX series in general is not that stable to be bought yet, so just got with the EVGA 600 or something plus they have a great customer service in my opinion, already dealt with them before.

That's what I heard as well... also found a GTX 2080 with R5 2600 underpowered build for $1400

Ok may play it safe,
BUT which EVGA card is better? The FTW2 iCX or SC ACX3.0 ?

 

[iMatty]

Well the difference that i notice between them is the cooling method one uses ICX and other using ACX3.0 well from what i know the ICX was out after the ACX that had problems with the fan curves and so, there is zero difference in performance from both of the cards the difference is that the ICX one is redesigned with overkill amount of cooling pads and 9 sensors that let you monitor your temps and so.

None the less i would recommend the ICX one based on the reviews i have seen.
