VEGA 56 to 2060 RTX

[Mista G]

Currently running a VEGA 56 for about a year now without any issues and was curious to know whether the time is right to replace with an 2060 RTX founders edition?

In the best case that is a side-grade, not an upgrade.

 

In many cases you will lose performance.

Interesting to know... although many videos show that the 2060 is about 10-15% faster apparently and the VRAM isn't an issue?

Ive seen third party cards being -10% to +15% depending on the game.

 

Not worth the early adoption fee for RTX IMHO.

From a Vega 56 there's no point in upgrading to a 2060 or a 2070. 2080 would be the first I'd even consider, and even then the 1080Ti (or potentially Radeon VII soon) should be better value than the 2080. A Vega 56 is around 7% slower at 1440p than the RTX 2060.

@Mista G Morgan MLGman is on point. If you want a performance upgrade, I would get the 2080 or the new Radeon VII that is about to launch on Feburary 7.
