Gtx 1070 to rtx 2060

[SuperFlower]

I have a msi gtx 1070 gaming x bought from july 2016 and wondering if should I sell it and add 140 euros more for a rtx 2060. Rest of system specs are 9600k 5Ghz, 16gb 3000mhz ddr4 tridentz, gigabyte z390 aorus pro, samsung 860 evo 500gb, 21:9 1080p 75Hz monitor.

If you can get an RTX 2060 for 350-400 EUR (I don't know if that's really going to be the case though), you'll be spending at most 260 EUR for about maybe 10%-15% better performance: https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2147?vs=2372

 

In my opinion for raw performance alone, it's not worth it.

You'd also be sacrificing 2GB of vram which is starting to become important nowadays. If anything I'd recommend going with a RTX 2070 or RTX 2080 if you need to upgrade.

 

A 1070 is still a very good card, even for 2560x1080. I had a 1060 6GB and played on a 2560x1440P 100hz panel for a few years and it was great. Maintained above 60fps after dialing a few settings to high.

Too similar in perfomance, unless the net-cost to you (after selling the 1070 and the effort you have to spend doing that) is less than 75 euro sounds like a terrible idea.
If you actually wanted ray tracing and more Graphics power, your upgrade path is an RTX 2070, not a 2060.  If that's outside your budget, save your money and be happy with the card you have (unless someone offers you a free GTX 1080 or 1080 Ti, haha, that'd be about it).

Not worth the time for all the work. Performance increase is there, but not anything big.

Why would you sell your current card to get gtx 2060 seriously? your current card isnt even 1050 ti or 1060 wtf.

RTX is a good reason to buy the 2060.

No not really when you have 1070.

Unless the OP wants to take advantage of RTX, which the 1070 cannot do.

Are there any games that you cannot achieve max graphics while still getting 1080p @ 75+ FPS ?  Because that sounds like childsplay difficulty for a GTX 1070, that card can pull good frames at even 1440p resolution for most games.

 

Of Course: putting aside any debating the merits of paying more to get the RTX feature.

I used my 1070 with my 21:9 monitor for a while, not a game it can't handle at max. You probably don't need to upgrade, unless you really can't let even more of your life not be ray traced.

Don't sell your 1070 to upgrade it with RTX2060. If you upgrade your GPU to 2070 then it worth to sell your 1070, then only you can see a performance difference

So in reality there are about 10fps difference, I think it's not worth it after all. Maybe I'll upgrade to 2080 or just skip this generation gpus and wait for the next ones. I'm playing right now AC Origins with everything maxed out except AA and shadows to medium and I'm getting 70-75fps which is great.
