graphics cards Help picking a Graphics Card.

[Deadzone121]

Hey guys, can I get some recommendations on which graphics card to buy. The goal is running most/all new games at a solid 60fps would like to stay with NVIDIA. My graphics card is no longer able to handle the load.

 

I have

OS - Win10

Cpu - Intel 7gen I7 7700

GPU - GTX 780

SSD - Samsung 256gb (os)

HHD - 2TB games drive

Motherboard - Gigabyte Z270-UH

RAM - 8gb Kingston @2400mhz x2

PSU - GM-ECO800 800w

right now, only rtx2060 / vega56 give you the real upgrade from gtx780, 

others are just not impressive in performance gain or not worth the money

Sorry forgot to add, I added it now

Rtx2060 or Vega 56 for sure. I have a 2060 on a 1080p 144hz monitor and it’s great, a lot of people hate on the 2060 pricing but the card handles everything I’ve tried at 1080p no sweat

even 1060 beat the crap of 780.

who does?

 

i mean, by far the 2070 is disliked more because of its pricing.

a 280/280x can beat the 780 iirc.

That would be the RTX2070, as it cost a butt-ton more while not offering proportional jump in performance to the 2060

A glorified 2060 Ti is what it should have been called

the turing lineup is a mess in naming and pricing

yeah... i'm still questioning it... but i'll wait for stefan on it

[Deadzone121]

just wondering but wouldn't the RTX series be a little over kill for only wanting 60fps? Also i dont plan to use ray tracing anytime soon.

more headroom for 1080p 60+fps for future games - forever?

you need this margin

[kevinisbeast707]

If you're at 1080p then the 2060 performs pretty much identically to the gtx 1070 ti which I owned. For 1080p you don't quite get ultra on everything in that msaa is still going to push you under 60 fps if you crank it. In some games like GTA V you also have to have grass turned down as it will still cripple graphics cards if you want any msaa at all. Rise of the Tomb Raider wasn't quite able to be maxed comfortably and in Shadow of the Tomb Raider you cannot run on ultra. With that said it did handle all of them very well with a few choice settings like msaa turned down and shadows not on ultra. Another good option would be to get the 1660 ti which still does exceptionally well at 1080p if you need to save a few bucks.

Vega 56 will more or less be the best balance of overkill.

 

That or the slower gtx 1660ti.

that has to go.

I looked at some pics of it and it doesn't look too promising.

The Price of 55 Pound Sterling also isn't really increasing confidene

Nope but all the evidence I've seen doesn't look promising...

And I doubt that its an 800W PSU...

yet.
Even low quality PSU can work for a while...

 

Though it could be worse.

As far as I see it, it is independantly regulated. So not the buttom of the barrel trash...

 

What I found with decent Pics is that:

yeah... i did too

 

but i couldn't find much about it

[Deadzone121]

Just for reference I got the PSU from - http://gamemaxpc.com/

 

However in Australia It's price about mid range ($100) and lower brand ones are around ($40) but if I wanted higher end brands it would be around ($200).

 

So it wouldnt be hard for me to move away from gamemax but in my experience I haven't had a problem out of them.

 

I do question the 800w myself since when I attempted SLI that's when my last power supply stopped working but it was an old psu and model (Over 5 year old).
