Posted February 7, 2019 Im looking to buy a 2060, but i cant justify the price jump from my 1060 3gb to the 2060. In Norway the cheapest 2060 card jumped to 3900,- from 3700,- (20$ price jump) over a month. When will cards like this maybe come on sale or drop to the pricing Nvidia came out with (3900NOK is 450$, 2060 was set to 350$(?) ) Note that Norwegian taxes is 25% (which is the price difference) doesn't other countries operate with any taxes on electronics?

I really like being able to return a card if it breaks, as it just happened to my 1060 3gb from Zotac... Using international warranty for ASUS(example) will take a month to get a new card if it breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a i5 7400- non k and is upgrading from a 1060 3gb to anything from Rx580-GTX1070 or RTX2060. a 580 is worth what i get in credit from my broken 1060 and a 1070/2060 is about 1500NOK (230CAD) more expensive. And in the future i would like to play in 144hz. Would i need anything more than a 580 for 144hz considering my i5? 16gb of ram of course, it if even matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used cards cant be compared to new ones.. But obviously if i'm going for the mid- range cards its going to be the 2060, as it stands out in bang for buck like the site says!

(Future ray tracing titles + future 144hz monitor) I wont be bothered with ray tracing for now, I treat RTX like a gift code for an unreleased game. I know it's there, but I dont know if it will end up being shit. I dont know if it will eventually evolve into something decent like No Man Sky. It can do 1080p 100fps high settings at least in most games though, that's what I care. Add a Freesync / Gsync monitor and it will be great. 10 minutes ago, ThomasJacobsen said: Also, the i5 7400 isnt too weak for a 2060? It is, but weaker GPUs can't do what you want (or for very long).

But obviously if i'm going for the mid- range cards its going to be the 2060, as it stands out in bang for buck like the site says! All the closest 2060 competitor from the AMD side has much higher power consumption (over 200W) while the 2060 is only 160W, this means difference heat they produces..

Yeah, am 100% i cant get anything over a Rx590 (AMD- side) without getting a bigger PSU, so the Vegas are pretty much out of question.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in buying a slower card for the same price Thank you! I will probably buy a 2060 and cry myself to sleep after spending 1500 over my original budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norway got insane customer focused laws, but we pay 25% extra dont be too bummed about your 2-3 years I figure i will loose warranty too, but im not overclocking either so doesnt really matter!
