[SOLVED] is rtx 2060 worth spending extra bucks than buying a gtx 1660ti

[hasanuzzaman015]

i am building my first gaming pc. i am under budget and very confused about which gpu to buy. i had my eyes on the gigabyte gtx 1660ti for a while but recently i saw a good deal for zotac rtx 2060. this is the cheapest rtx 2060 i could find. the two gpu have a price difference of 60usd. which one should i buy?

If your gaming @1080P either GPU would be fine but usually you want to go with the best GPU you can afford for longevity.

Rtx 2060 in global speaking have +30FPS then GTX 1660ti. If you want great performance go on rtx 2060 super.
But in your choice go on rtx 2060 gaming z or something else.

Isn't it important to buy gpu from a renowned brand? If i could find a asus or gigabyte rtx 2060 at this price then it would be a no brainer. I'm not so sure about this zotac brand.

Zotac makes good GPU's, I've had a few different models over the years without issues.

That's the problem. I know about gigabyte gpu's but i never heard about zotac gpu's. So i have no idea how trustworthy they are.

I actually prefer them for smaller MATX/ITX builds as there one of the few manufacturers that put dual fans on a SFF card.

Mate ofc., i prefer too with dual fans and good performance, mean memory clock, gpu apeed, bendwith etc.
I am not fun of one brend, i like one which one is click me.

Most will perform fairly close, within a few FPS although some have better cooling which could account for a higher overclock but that's maybe a few more FPS if that.

If that $60 could be better spent on something else like more games and if the 1660 ti is plenty for your current games & resolution then go for it.

I want to future proof my bulid as much as i can. So i don't mind spending the extra 60 bucks now.

This is not for me, i have msi rtx 2060 gaming z.
But question is, what is smart for buying gtx 1660ti or rtx 2060. My options for this is rtx. Is better card, realy not in phisycal theory, yes.

Well for longevity (future proofing) then the 2060 is the better choice.

is there any chance of bottleneck if i use the rtx 2060 with i7-9700k ?

Average bottleneck percentage: 2.18%, this is in the green line. Cpu ang gpu will work nice

I doubt it would but this comes down to the resolution and game. For 1080P & 1440P gaming it's a good combo.

Around 3% this is minimal bottleneck.

The 2060 is the top of the line 6 GB card. Any higher and it's 8 GB. That means don't get the 1660 ti.

Let me guess....via some bottleneck calculator site?

I'd avoid those like the plague as they don't account for the game nor resolution which can have a massive impact on potential bottlenecks.

The only true way to figure it out is to manually test.

Even at 1080P on the most CPU intensive game it might hold it back slightly but an easy fix is to overclock the CPU.

just get an rx5700, i have one and it gets the same amount of frames as my friend who has a 2070 super

1660 ti =6gb
2060 = 8gb

That's Super though not the first release 2060 like he's asking or what I've had since February

rx5700 is also 8gb, just saying its an option definitely worth looking at
