Hey everybody!

 

I wanna know should I buy an RTX 2060 / 2070 or GTX 1080 TI?

I want to know your ideas and arguments, about the features, price and the performance for the money.

 

I will be using the card with my existing GTX 1050 TI (4GB), for pc gaming, VR gaming, editing, recording and streaming in 1080p with streamlabs.

 

Current pc: 
OS: Windows 10 Home (64-Bit).
CPU: Intel (R) Core (TM) i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz, 3000Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
Graphic Card: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
GB Ram: 16
3 Multi Moniters: Some Benq Screens.
Harddrive 1: 256 GB - SDD
Harddrive 2: 1000 GB / 1 TB
Harddrive 3: 4000 GB / 4 TB

 

My budget is about 500$ But I can get extra money.

 

Thank you for reading, and posting suggestions!

No point in getting any of the GPU-s when the CPU would bottleneck a GTX 1060. The i5 7400 has only 4 cores and a pretty low base clock.

Yeah they would probably be better with this if they plan on streaming

What resolution are you playing at.

 

1080p = 2060 or 1060 

1440p 1080

4k gaming = 1080Ti or 2080Ti

Your CPU is a bottleneck so honestly your best option is a 1060 or 2060 @ 1080p

It's either a used i7 6700K or i7 7700K or changing both the motherboard and the CPU which would probably require more money.

Or should i look for another CPU?

Thats a good cpu and it wont bottleneck a rtx 2060 or gtx 1060, I think it wont bottleneck a 1080 too. But you will need to change your motherboard. I reccomend a msi b450 tomahawk if you have the money.

Ryzen 5 and 7 will do wonders for streaming/recording/editing. I can vouch for this with my Ryzen 7 as I can even stream/record VR without a hiccup.

 

However, even an OC Ryzen 7 can get bogged down if you plan to stream and record all on CPU exclusively while playing games depending on your settings.

 

I recommend getting an RTX 2060 strictly because it really is the best budget king and the new NVENC produces awesome results when compared to the h.264 very fast preset in OBS.

Linus has also pointed this out in his RTX video.

 

 Look at the 7 minute mark.

The 7700k and 6700k are pretty overpriced and aren't good for streaming. You can get a 1700 and a motherboard for under 300 dollars. 8 cores is very super good for streaming and will perform better than a 7700k.

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1700BBAEBOX/dp/B06WP5YCX6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549579979&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=r7+1700&dpPl=1&dpID=41WU%2B432f%2BL&ref=plSrch this cpu has 2 more cores than the 2600 and will be much better for streaming. With 8 cores you will have plenty of cores to stream and game. Another thing to note is that when ryzen 3000 series comes out you can always upgrade the 1700 to one of the new cpus of you wanted to.

You defiantlywant to get a better GPU for VR, and I would personally go for the 1080 Ti or 2060 since they will give you the better price to performance than the 2070 will. You will also want to upgrade your CPU if you want to record/stream to an 8th gen Intel CPU or a Ryzen CPU.

btw I'm home in a few hours, then I check my motherboard.

2600x is the best of those. Will clock up to ~4.1-4.2ghz out of the box on all cores. Overclocking is mostly unecessary. I'd pair a 2600x with any of 2060, 2070, 1080, or 1080ti. The only card I wouldn't pair it with is a 2080ti.

As told in another Thread, its not a good idea as those CPUs are rediculously overpriced.

We're talking up to 250€ for that shit alone.

 

A Ryzen 7/1700, wich is better for Streaming because 8 Cores (and two independant Memory Controllers, IIRC),  is like 165€ right now, the 1700x I have is around 190€ right now.

You can't beat that with the ancient CPUs you recommended, even though they cost about the same...

 

 

Anyway, @Mikkelius

What PSU do you have right now??

As for AMD:
The 600 are 6 Cores

The 700 are 8 Cores

1000 are the older ones

2000 are the newer ones

 

the without X are lower clocked, 65W Parts

The with X are higher clocked, 95W Parts

 

So the 2600x is the best choice, 1700(x) might be worth a thought, though 2600x is clocked far higher than the 1700x...
