[SOLVED] Is the RTX 2070S worth the extra 100$ against the RTX 2070?

Hi guys! I am looking to upgrade my GPU and those two are my main target. The difference of cost is about 100$ between them. The MSI Ventus 2070 GP is cheaper than the Gigabyte Windforce 3X OC 2070 Super.

Main purpose of this machine: Gaming, Office and maybe, if the time allows it Casual Streaming.
The rest of the components will be:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600/3600X -> Will buy it along the GPU.
RAM: 16 Gb @ 3000MHz in dual channel
MOBO: MSI Mortar or Tomahawk B450
PSU: nJoy Woden 750w 80+ Gold
SSD: 2xKingston UV400 120Gb, 1x Patriot Burst 480Gb
HDD: 1x old Seagate 500Gb

I was thinking that the 2060s is not that far from the first gen of 2070 and is a bit cheaper, maybe 30-50 $ on a sale.

• Is it worth buying the 2070s against the 2070 if the price difference is around 100$?
• What about the 2070 againt the 2060 super if the price favors the 2060s by 30$?

It's about 5-10% more FPS for $100. Only you know if it's worth it to you.

Honestly, given that awful power supply, I'd much rather put $100 into that. nJoy is a Romanian company that has some really dodgy PSUs. I see they've at least advanced from publishing fake 80 Plus certifications to simply implying they have 80 Plus certification by claiming that their power supplies "meet" 80 Plus specifications.

Is it worth buying the 2070s against the 2070 if the price difference is around 100$?

Likely not: Ryzen 3600: 2070 VS 2070 Super, at low and ultra settings, almost 50 games benchmarked
3-6% difference at 1080p, 3-7% at 1440p.

What about the 2070 againt the 2060 super if the price favors the 2060s by 30$?

Ryzen 3600: 2060 Super VS 2070
The exact same performance gap as the 2070 VS 2070 super. I think 2060 Super wins here.

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600/3600X -> Will buy it along the GPU.

Unless the 3600X goes on sale or something, it's not worth the 30USD price premium I'm seeing from some retailers.

PSU: nJoy Woden 750w 80+ Gold

I don't know how reliable that psu is. All I could find was that it's a Romanian brand, and this: http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-15880.html
