GPU upgrade

[SafeStrafe]

Is a 1080 a good upgrade from a 1060 3gb for 1080p@144hz I'm getting it second hand I play most esports games all br games and survival games. And I don't mind putting down settings, my budget is 400 euro

Should be fine.

Yeah I'd say so. The 1080 Ti might be worth it, for a little more future proofing.

For the right price yes! 1080 will get like 180fps in the usual games like CSGO, LOL, Fortnite

I'd say the RTX 2060 would also be a nice choice.

The RTX 2060 seems to perform a bit better than a regular 1080 in most games, from what I can see.

I went from the rx580 8gb to the rtx2060 and it was a huge difference. If I had to guess around 50%+ performance increase. 

I play pub g, apex legends, black ops 4 and the difference was big enough for me to justify the purchase. 

I use a 1080p 144hz monitor too, personally I’d do the rtx2060 because it’s newer and you’ll get the full warranty on it instead of going used

It's just a breed of dog. It probably came from the country or is related to it in some way. Obama has a Portuguese Water Spaniel.

In what way? Doesn't the 1080 have 8gb?

 

I would personally stick with the 1080 since it has GDDR5X memory. Not as fast as GDDR6, but it's still faster than GDDR5.

Do the 2060 and call it a day. It’s a new card with full waranty. I’m more then happy with my purchase and I’m running a 1080p 144hz monitor
