Question what is better?

gtx 1070TI vs rtx 2060 what is better?

gtx 1070TI vs rtx 2060 what is better?

UserBenchmark: Nvidia GTX 1070-Ti vs RTX 2060
They are neck and neck
I'd go for the 2060, much cheaper

you also get ray tracing with the 2060. I suggest getting that one.

but the 1070ti also supports RT or not ?

yes they are close. I'm just worried about the bottleneck if I take the 2060

no

no

what is this then?

With a 2070 Super at 1440p I do not use ray tracing. It's still decent for 1440p and 1080p.

People don't seriously consider doing that as it cripples performance on those GTX cards. They don't have the hardware for it, some sort of driver kludge going on there. Like enabling SLI on cards with no SLI bridge, just to show 'enabled' in the driver.

The poster who mentioned ray tracing is right about getting the 2060 but is incorrect in saying ray tracing is the reason to get one.

It's not. But DLSS is. That's why you should pick the 2060 out of these two.

 

[John Chesterfield]

In terms of ray tracing on the 2060 being worth using, it's not. The card simply isn't powerful enough. Nor was my 2080 and this 3080 can use it, but still takes a performance hit. DLSS can be used to mitigate that hit to a degree.

Though technically you might be able to run amd fsr on the 1070ti, but some consider dlss to be better. The 2060 is the newer card. The 1070ti has to be about 5 years old or more now. If the 1070ti is used who knows how it was treated.

 

[letmepicyou]

What video card you use should be determined by the resolution you game at, primarily. If you game at 720p or 1080p, either of these cards is neck and neck in most games.

If you have dreams of 2k or 4k gaming, NEITHER of these cards is where you want to be.

well, then that's good news for you.

 

[Nertens]

This is just my opinion, but I would take a 70 series card over a 60 series card, even if it is a generation newer.
The 1070 series has better memory bandwidth than the 2060 and that matters in flightsimming.. not to mention the VRAM size which also matters if you go to higher resolutions/settings..

 

[zx128k]

RTX 2060 is minimum for turning ray tracing on but is very poor performance wise.

try to save up for a 3060 or 4060

 

[ohio_buckeye]

Been a while since I’d looked at this thread but if you can get amd gpus and are open to that idea you may go with an rx 6600 or 6600xt. I think the latter is close to a 1080ti. Another card if you can get a good deal on a working model is the 5700xt. Recently bought a used one for $140. According to youtube it should be about 6600xt performance.

The GTX 1070Ti doesn't support RT but I wouldn't worry about RT if I were you. This is because even though the RTX 2060 technically does support RT, the card is so weak that RT would be completely unusable on it. If they're the same price, take the RTX 2060 for its newer architecture, not for RT because cards that are weaker than the RTX 3070 are useless with RT. The RTX 3070 isn't even that great, but it is at least usable with RT.

Take the RTX 2060 over the GTX 1070 Ti, but don't expect to be able to use RT. That will just disappoint you.

haha 4060 on i5 4690k sure

I love how he says "a 3060 or a 4060" like they're similar cards. A 4060 would most likely be like a 3080.

I'll be perfectly honest with you, if you have an i5-4690K, pretty much anything that you use for a GPU is going to be severely CPU bottlenecked. Not many people know this but even a "lowly" RX 6600 gets CPU bottlenecked by something as fast as the i9-10900K. Can you imagine what kind of bottleneck that a Haswell CPU would create?

That CPU is almost ten years old and I wouldn't expect it to be able to put out more FPS than a GTX 980 or R9 Fury. I honestly think that, performance-wise, it won't matter whether you get GTX 1070 Ti or RTX 2060 because they'll both give you the same 1080p performance, limited by your i5-4690K.

image 4060 on i5 haha
and yes he say it like its same gpu haha

but tnx
btw i5 4690k 4.4ghz and i buy a gtx 1070ti its good

 

[ohio_buckeye]

4060 same as a 3080? Don't count on that. According to this the 4060 may have fewer cuda cores and less vram than a 3060. I guess what will help a 4060 will be that they hold DLSS 3.0 back from the 3000 series cards. Kind of annoyed with Nvidia. I've got a used 5700xt now and my next card will almost certainly be amd or intel.

Yes, a GTX 1070 Ti would be fine for your purposes. I'll say again though that if you can get an RTX 2070 for about the same price, I'd go for that because nVidia will be supporting it with new drivers for a good deal longer than the GTX 1070 Ti and it'll be more efficient as well.
