[SOLVED] Should I go from 1079ti to 2060?

[shanvhere]

As the title stated, I have a 1070ti titanium but should I buy a 2060?

 

[shanvhere]

I meant 1070ti on title

From stuff I've seen today, the only real advantage you'd gain is the ray tracing. But I think the 1070ti is an 8gb card, the 2060 I think is a 6gb card. But from some things on YouTube showed, the 2060 and 1070ti trade blows. So I guess how important is ray tracing to you?

 

[shanvhere]

Well I like from I see what ray trace does and I am upgrading the card for battlefield V and Anthem

Gamer's Nexus JUST released a review...give it a read, some interesting info in there.

You would be basically be throwing away $350 since they perform the same, unless you turn on ray tracing than its worse than a 1070ti.

Nvidia claims that the 2060 is slightly better than the 1070ti, but unless DXR/DLSS is really important to you, it's not worth dropping $350 on.

My answer: we don’t have user benchmarks yet, and we have no clue if it’s going to be a flop. My advice is to not buy anything until we have benchmarks.

We have no clue if that’s true. Apple says the MacBook is “20% faster”. Companies can advertise whatever they want, so I wouldn’t buy anything until we have reviews and benchmarks from users

We do have benchmarks, that's how we know that, when not using ray tracing, it trades blows with the 1070Ti.

And we know how it performs with ray tracing at 1920x1080 on Battlefield V. Whether the hit to performance is worth it, well, that's for any particular user to decide.

If it were my decision, I wouldn't go for the new card if I already had a 1070Ti.

They have the gameplay of Battlefield V with High Settings and DXR on Medium at 1080p (Upscaled to 1440p via DLSS). It runs. While Nvidia's claims should be taken with a grain of salt, to suspect that they're telling a boldface lie is thinking too little of even them.

The 2060 is only comparable with DLSS on (at least thats what we're told). If it isn't on, it sits a good deal behind the 1070ti. Most games dont and wont have DLSS for a long while. IF or by the time DLSS becomes common, the 2060 will either be end of life or unable to keep up because of how much games will grow in that 2 year span. Stick with what you got and wait for the next gen if you are only looking to replace it with a 2060.

 

[insanium88]

I do agree with everyone else. Nvidia does some shady shit. Remember when they bought physx to keep AMD out of the market? I do. They have also been caught smugging the numbers.

 

[kindangrysliceofpie]

Examples of gameplay is not true benchmarks. We only have examples for one game, which can differ depending on the system, ram, GPU, etc.

Lo and behold, benchmarks. It's not that surprising, even. The 2080 gets around 1080ti performance, the 2070 gets around 1080 performance, and the 2060 gets around 1070ti performance. Big whoop.

I know I'm on an RX 590, I'm considering returning for the 2060, but on the other hand, I may wait for rx 3080 though to see how that is before I jump.

The "leaks" regarding AMD's supposed new cards seem like wild speculation rather than anything realistic to me. I don't imagine AMD announcing Ryzen 3000 or Navi/Vega 2 at CES. As for the upgrade you're thinking about, I'm not sure if it's a big enough jump to justify it, but it might be to you.

 

[ohiou_grad_2006]

So the situation, I bought a refurbished 1070 at microcenter but it had a fan issue. So I returned it, but no more 1070s for the same price. So I settled on the 590. Since I've got a return period, that's why I am thinking of returning and getting the better card.
