Best Value GPU

[NiiiKK.]

Hey im planning on building a new pc soon, i chose Ryzen 5 2600 as CPU but i dont know what to pick for GPU. i need a GPU thats good at 1080p Ultra, also planning on streaming/Video editing.

i thought of buying RTX 2060 but people complaining about their RTX cards dying makes me worried.

Vega 56?

Vega 56 is way too expensive in my country, i need a card thats around 350-400$

problems with rtx were mostly on the first line, not on the current one. maybe a rx 580 is enough for you?

I would  recommend an rtx 2060 for future proofing but a 1070 will be fine too.

Or check the used market? There are usually some good deals to be had there (especially now that people are upgrading to the RTX-line of Nvidias GPUs).

The RTX cards dying were mostly for the first few batches of cards, the rest should be fine

 

A 1070 should be able to handle 1080p ultra in most games(some games it can’t, I think my 1070 got 45-55 fps in just cause 4 at 1080p ultra).

If I were in your situation I’d get a 1070 or 260

for me GTX 1060 is around 26k INR and RTX 2060 is 31k INR while 1070 FE and 1070 TI FE are around 50k and aftermarket cards are around 80k, so 2060 seems to be perfect card for me but im afraid of it dying since people are complaining about it.

Just like Paul said about the best value GPU of all time, it is the GTX 570, and the GTX 970 second it. LOL

You would be looking at Vega 56 or RTX 2060 level of performance. 

Get the cheaper one

RTX 2060 is way cheaper for me and im leaning towards it but just afraid it might die

Yeah, like the GTX 680??
Look at where that is.

Futureproofing and nVidia in one Sentence is an Oxymoron. They are the Opposite and work on planned obsolescence.

 

Or have you forgotten the Witcher 3 Desaster, where a GTX960 raped a GTX780??

Sad that people still not realize what nVidia is doing...

 

 

So to be blunt: IF you want to "futureproof", you get an AMD Card. Those don't get worse when the next gen is out.

Than get the VEGA and use that...

Or save money and get an RX570/8GiB.

I highly recommend the RX 580 8GB for 1080P.

 

I love mine.

 

I also use it for a lot of Oculus VR gaming with no real issues with stock game settings.
