[SOLVED] Need help with choosing the right GPU..

[rahulrwt125]

I am confused out of my mind about which GPU to choose for my build...


On one side is Sapphire's stock variant of the 5700 XT by AMD https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consumer/21293-01-40g-radeon-rx-5700-xt-8g-gddr6


And on the other side are these "OC" variants of the 2060 super by Nvidia
Variant 1:-

Variant 2:-
https://www.gigabyte.com/in/Graphics-Card/GV-N206SWF2OC-8GD-rev-10#kf


I'm pretty sure the 5700 XT is overall a better card but I also heard about its bad thermals and noise problem. As I live in India, thermals are a huge problem as temperatures can reach upto over 45°C in the summers.


The price of all these are more or less the same in the local and online markets.


Your thoughts?

The 5700 is slightly faster.

Being they are so close....I might not let speed be the deciding factor.

That being said....I have no knowledge of the thermal and noise problems on the 5700....but also I'm not saying it doesn't run hotter or isn't louder than the 2060.

If it were me.....and I truly thought it probably ran hotter and was louder (from whatever research I did) I would go for the 2060.

Monitor resolution and refresh rate?

GTX1660Ti then. Or an AMD 5600 when they launch in October 15th-ish.

In lieu of that choice, my vote is 2060 Super so you can hobble frame rates down with "pretty" ray tracing.
