[SOLVED] Tough choice

[kostask5]

Hey guys im planning on upgrading my gtx 980.Do you think i should go for the rtx 2070 super or save some money for the rest of the pc and go for 2060super?

I'd go for the best GPU you can afford but what are your other specs and monitor resolution?

Mostly 1080p i7 4790 16b of ddr3 ram which i propably have to change very soon,But my budget goes kinda over the top with 2070 super and i dont know if its worth it

The 2060S is plenty for 1080P & would pair well with the 4790. There's also the RX 5700 XT but I wouldn't recommend it until the aftermarket versions with better cooling come out.

I see.. i got a 4k tv that i sometimes play single player games on it but i suppose the 2060s wont do for 2k or 4k or rtx I mostly play on my monitor tho which is 1080p

You'll need to lower the settings a quite a bit but 4K should be playable on Low-ish settings around 60 FPS.

If i was to get the 2070s would there be a bottleneck with i7 4790?

If you will upgrade a graphics card, make it a significant jump or you may be disappointed.
I do not see a 2060 super as being a very big bump over a GTX980.

What is the rest of your specs?
Are your games cpu limited or graphics limited?

Run this test:
Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

At 1080P it may a little bit but try what geofelt has suggested. This will show if the system will support a better GPU (it should).

I checked games like overwatch and black ops 4 multiplayer on 720p and cpu can manage fine even tho its usage isnt very low.Would a psu 650 watt be alright for 2070s and i7?
The other problem is that the cheapest rtx 2070s i can afford is this palit 8gb super x which i dont know if its a good one and it doesnt have a backplate im pretty sure.So i really dont know what to choose.

 

[WildCard999]

Which model 650W PSU do you have?

What is your budget?

 

[kostask5]

i have a pretty mediocre one of thermaltake se smart 630 watt that i need to upgrade budget around 100 euros

 

[geofelt]

A quality 650w psu will run most any graphics card you want.

the catch is quality.
A cheap unit will not deliver advertised power and could be dangerous under load.

The chips in all 2070s cards all come from the same place, namely nvidia.
I would not worry much about features such as back plates, rgb, or fan arrangements.
The better binned chips will be used in factory overlocked cards and will command a price premium.
I suppose palit is as good as any. In the US, I like evga.

Your psu looks to be a tier 6 unit on this list:

See if you can't find a Seasonic focus 650w psu.
They have 7/10 year warranties and are of excellent quality.
Pay more for one if you have to.

I found a seasonic focus plus 750 gold for 100€ about 5 more euros thanthe 650 one. There are also some corsair ones 650 watt like corsair txm 650watt at 75€ and the corsair rmx which is more expensive at 100€

 

[geofelt]

650w is enough, but for 5€ more, 750w is a very good deal.
The psu will consume only the wattage demanded of it, regardless of the max power.

For 5 more Euros there's no harm in getting an extra 100W. Palit makes good cards.

Thnx for the help guys i will either get the palit one or wait a bit more until more are released cause they is a limitee amount of rtx 2070 s right now in my country in a few shops so maybe its best to hold off a bit more
