Order off Newegg then and get this STRIX RX Vega 56 that's on sale for $380, $350 with a rebate rn: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/C6tQzy/asus-radeon-rx-vega-56-8-gb-arez-video-card-arez-strix-rxvega56-o8g-gaming

That f*king sucks... I only have 10'6" of clearance for length. That is a really good deal though. I am not getting a new case until late summer/August.

 

I 100% would like to have that 56 strix for the price of a msrp 2060, but i cant just not game for 4 months, rip me.

The 56 is slower than the 2060 in almost all games across the board.

That's the 56 in stock configuration, which is garbage, when undervolted the v56 and 2060 will perform similarly, also, the v56 has a lot to gain from overclocking compared to turing, where turing has pretty bad core oc potential.

Actually the RTX cards have a lot of OCing headroom, better than Pascal.

Turing has terrible core oc headroom due to nvidia power limits, so I have yet to see any turing card hit 2100mhz on air while my 1070 ti can do it all day. After experimenting with a couple of my friend's cards (these are the non binned versions), they can't even hit 2ghz sustained with a +20% power limit, maybe the binned versions can squeeze out that extra 50mhz or so, but ALL pascal cards could easily hit the 2050mhz mark. Compare that to vega 56 which at stock hits around 1350mhz but after a little undervolting and raising the power limit, you can get it to 1550 easily, if you flash a v64 bios you can get memory around the 1k mark pretty easily as well, though turing does have terrific memory overclocking to compete with that.

Mine does it easy and doesn't go over 65C on air..

Mine boosts well over 2000 out of the box..... With no OC.

He disproved the common misconception that Nvidia nerfs their old cards. What is true is the fact that newer cards will be more optimized for newer games. Eventually, the older architecture will be outdated and wont run as well as it could due to lack of driver updates.

That's true for pretty much anything.

I keep mentioning that but people still buy a 2060 for only 1080p gaming... 

 

Why futureproof for things you don’t need?

 

AMDs cards are much better for just plain gaming, with the 1660s competing against them as new. Second hand 1080s still go for a high price for a reason!

I guess for some people the tensor cores might start being used to improve game AI.  The RT may still become a thing even on a card as small as the 2060. 

The future is unknown and the RTX might not be out of their price range compared to the 1660.

Even a beafy strix 56 compared to a msrp 2060?

All of them from what I saw.
