[SOLVED] What I need to know about the graphics card

[pavlaras74ever]

There must other topics about this question. I want to spend about 500euros for a graphics card, but i can't decide which one. For example, there is rtx 2060 8gb super gaming OC 1.65 ghz, memory speed 14000mhz memory bus 256bit, and inno3d rtx2070 8gb super jet x1, 1.77ghz, 14000 mhz memory speed and 256bit memory bus. There is a difference on the money, about 50 euros(2070 is more expensive). I saw so many graphics cards, some of them where (for example) 400 euros with 1.65ghz and one with 500 euros, with 1.5ghz same memory bus and memory speed. What should I look for? What does really matter when you want to buy a graphics card when you got a specific budget

600watt psu
Monitor Samsung qled full HD 1920 x 1080 1ms
Cpu Intel core i5 7500

An I5 7500 will limit a 2060 super or 2070.

I would go for the 2060 super because of that.

Don't you think, that I should buy 2070 and maybe after some months, upgrade the Cpu?!

What's the exact Make and Model number of this PSU ? Getting this info is VERY important....

Turbo-X PSU Power Series 600 W 80+ Bronze it s a Greek brand with 2 cables PCIe 6+2

DC Output +5V 20 A
DC Output +12V1 38 A
EFFICIENCY 80%
I hope that helps

From what i see, the 2060 super needs 1 8 oin and the 2070 super needs a 8 and 6 pin.

I do not know much about that psu make and model.

That's definitely not a very good high quality PSU, IMO, I wouldn't this to power any high-end GPU on any PC.

It has 2 PCIe 6+2 pin, isn't that fine?

Do you have any recommendations that I could upgrade to?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

It has the required connections, but it is likely of questionable quality.

I would concidering upgrading to sometyung better. What is your preffered retailer?

So, if I want to upgrade the graphics card into 2070, what should I change? Psu, Cpu, motherboard?

Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 8G Black I was thinking about this. Would that be a nice choice for the next 5 years at least, can it run all the games? I don't care about 2k or 4k, maybe high settings instead of ultra. What do you think? I will upgrade the psu too.

 

[Metal Messiah.]

What's you budget for the PSU ? And, where are you located, country ?

When comparing these cards, keep in mind that a 2070 will typically be no more than 5% faster than a 2060 SUPER. So paying around 10% more for a 2070 might not be worthwhile.

For a rough idea of how these various cards perform relative to one another, you can have a look at the summary charts in this recent 2080 SUPER review, which shows the average performance across more than 20 games in most recent cards. Different factory-overclocked versions of a card may perform slightly differently, but in general all versions of a card from different manufacturers should typically perform within a few percent of one another...
