Greetings.

I am just double checking that I have made the right decision as I have ordered a Zotac RTX 2060 Amp as an upgrade from my former GTX 1060 3GB.

From checking into it I should be getting around double fps in pretty much all games that I am playing which is a nice upgrade. I'm on a 1080p 144hz monitor. Is this the best price/performance choice that I could have made? Or could I have chosen better? I paid £330 for the 2060 which is reasonable would be happy to pay a little more if it made much a difference. I was looking at the 2070 but that's a fair jump and I can overclock the 2060 to bridge the 2070 performance gap if I so required.

For reference here is my current setup https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Lb2WNQ I am purchasing a 3700x or 3800x as soon as they are released depending on uk price - i'll be sending the 2700 back for a full amazon refund anyway so no loss)

Cheers
 
If you are already getting DOUBLE the FPS, then it was worth upgrading to the RTX 2060. Even though the RTX 2070 is faster, it comes at a premium (expensive), and for 1080p/144 Hz screen, the RTX 2060 doesn't seem like a very bad choice either, IMHO.

Damn nvm, sorry for misunderstanding your original post.

That vega doesn't seem to shabby considering it's very similar in performance to the 2060. I still haven't yet recieved the 2060 as they failed on delivery today! pft. Would have felt like Xmas :( Can still return it or cancel it's delivery.

Well I'm already waiting for the Ryzen 3700x/3800x so I don't mind waiting for the Navi. Supposidly being released about the same time so would be a win win. :)

What's a few weeks? :)
