  1. So first of all I'm in Sweden so the market is a bit different for me unfortunately. I wish I was talking about a super but this is a vanilla 2070. Also I should have been a bit more precise when translating from SEK to USD so here are the real prices of the cards I've bought and some others for reference. AMD The one I've bought already I got for $516 (now $588) and is an ASUS Radeon RX 5700 XT ROG Strix OC. The cheapest RX 5700 XT on the market at the moment is an MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT Mech OC HDMI 3xDP 8GB and can be had for $481. The Nitro+ trevb0t suggested is priced at $574. NVIDIA The one I bought already I payed $526 for (now $631) and is a non-super card. More specifically it is an ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 8GB DUAL OC EVO. The least expensive 2060 Super I can find is the Galax/KFA2 GeForce RTX 2060 Super EX (1-Click OC) HDMI 2xDP 8GB and it is priced at $441. The cheapest 2070 on market right now is a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Windforce 2X HDMI 3xDP 8GB and is priced at $516. The least expensive 2070 Super is a Galax/KFA2 GeForce RTX 2070 Super EX Gamer Black HDMI 3xDP 8GB and costs $609. So as you can see prices in Sweden are a bit crazy. Since I didn't opt for the absolutely cheapest I could find when I bought the cards I think I got decent deals ?. As I said earlier reviewers are saying the the 5700 XT card I got is one of the best ones available. I'm not getting any info on the 2070 though so I am unsure there. From what you guys and gals are saying it seems like I should keep keep the 5700 XT.
  2. Yeah but I got it for $100, thought that was a pretty good deal. Anyway, what kind of problems have you been having and what card do you have exactly?
  3. Which workloads in particular are you thinking of then? I mentioned quite a few.
  4. I've already bought all of these parts. If you want to know the prices at which I bought them I could add them. A lot of the things I bought because I got a good deal on them. The SFX power supply I bought because I got it for a good price and should be enough for my build.
  5. Hi, I'm building my own PC for the first time and bought all of my gear this black friday/cyber monday. I ended up buying two GPUs because I wasn't sure which one I wanted and figured I could hand one of them back anyway. Since I am not very experienced I am not sure which one I want to keep though. So I figured I might ask someone more competent, you guys! Here is the build: Component Choice Additional Details Motherboard ASUS ROG STRIX B450-E GAMING B450, WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, CPU AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 36MB 16 Ts @ 3.6 (4.4) GHz, 65 W GPU 1 ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 8GB DUAL OC EVO 3*DP, 1*HDMI, 1*USB-C (Virtuallink) GPU 2 ASUS Radeon RX 5700 XT ROG Strix OC 3*DP, 1*HDMI RAM Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 16 GB @ 3000 MHz, CL15 CPU Cooling Wraith Prism Included Case Cooling LL120 RGB 120mm Dual Light Loop RGB LED PWM Fan 3 Fan Pack with Lighting Node PRO Storage Corsair Force Series MP510 960GB M.2 SSD 960 GB @ 3480/3000MB/s R/W PSU Corsair SF600 600W 80+ Platinum 600W, 80+ Platinum, Modular Case Corsair Carbide 175R RGB Black 1 fan, tempered glass Led Strip 1 ASUS ROG Addressable LED Strip 60cm Led Strip 2 Corsair RGB LED Lighting PRO Expansion Kit OS Windows 10 Home English 64-Bit OEM Screen Samsung 32" U32R590 VA Curved (1500R) UHD 4K 60 Hz Curved So, with the PC I will be coding (doing data science work i.e. training neural networks, doing topological data analysis etc.), CAD work for 3D printing (I'm no expert but on occasion I download a file with very many vertices) and of course gaming. Currently I am keen on DOOM, Forza Horizon 4, Hitman, Halo, Wolfenstein (the entire series), Assassin's Creed (the entire series again) , Fallout, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077 (when it arrives) and sometimes older titles like Age of Mythology. As you can tell mostly local singleplayer stuff. I have good eyesight but shit reflexes and am bad at games in general. Therefor I opted for a 4K panel at 60 HZ rather than a high refresh rate monitor as I am more interested in a nice visual experience than becoming the best in the world. I have this unrealistic hope of being able to play some games in 4K. So my question to you then is if I can get the RTX 2070 for ~$499 and the RX 5700 XT for ~$489 which one should I take? I have been looking around a lot and people are saying the AMD card has a really good cooler but I am getting no hits on this specific 2070 skew. Many Thanks! PS. If you don't think I am being awfully silly and if you have any opinions at all maybe you could also help me decide between the two listed LED-strips.
