GTX 1070ti or RTX 2060?

[DG Result]

I am thinking about upgrading and Im not sure what to get. 

On one side I know that the Gtx 1070 will be used more in time because of more memory. Oncthe other hand the 2060 has the new architecture.

What would you guys recommend? 

If I buy any model it will be from Gigabyte

how about vega?

I would get the RTX 2060 unless you are getting a great deal on the GTX 1070. The 2060 is less expensive and better performing. It's possible that the extra memory of the 1070 may give it an edge in the future, but it may not, and first it has to catch up with the 2060 before it can beat it.

Have a look at the MSI Gaming Z RTX 2060 too. It got very nice reviews.

What do you mean its better performing? 

You mean in benchmarks?

Yes, in benchmarks. They are very close in gaming, closer than I remembered. I'm changing my answer.

At an equal price, I would lean towards the 1070, but I wouldn't pay more than about 10% extra for it.

 

Addendum: I noticed in your title you have 1070ti, but in your opening paragraph, you have 1070. Of course, the 1070ti is significantly more expensive.

I am talking about the 1070Ti

I see it has more memory and a bigger bus so Im not sure what to buy

Well the cards are about equal in performance. The Gigabyte OC 2060 is $355 and the Gigabyte GV-N107TGAMING-8GD 1070ti is $670.

Yes they are but what about futureproffing

If they are about the same price or let's say 40 or 50$ i'd get the 2060 personally...both are very similar in terms of performance but the 2060 has RTX and will receive further game optimization especially if you tend to play newer titles.

 

I would only recommend the 8GB 1070ti if you're doing most of your gaming in VR where nvidia optimization and gaming tech is less common and driver optimization is almost non existent/needed and also i don't see any game able to run in VR with ray tracing anytime soon and when you supersample the extra VRAM will come in handy....

 

other than that, 2060 is a better GPU.

I think by the time they're performing substantially different and 1070 Ti is well ahead, you'll want a new graphics card anyways as neither will be a particularly great experience anymore.

I'd guess a 2060 is your best pick. Since this video, it got new driver support, and I'm certain, that Pascal cards will have poorer support in the upcoming years. And a 2060 literally costs around the same as a 1660ti, so there is no reason to choose another card around this price class.

[Bearmann]

You couldn't seriously be thinking about paying almost twice as much for a 1070ti?

 

Here is a nice Asus 2060 on sale for $329.99:

Guess you guys are right after all. 

I will go for the 2060from gygabite and settle down for a at least 2 years

[Vejnemojnen]

Sound decision. BTW, I'd warmheartedly recommend even Gainward Phoenix GS. Among the cheapest RTX2060s, and performs pretty damn well.

 

Here is a direct comparison with the OC version of Asus Strix RTX2060.

If you have known a 70 a 60 will never be good enough anymore

Yeah but it has the new architecture and beter driver support in the future, so I might go with it. 

I still have sime time before I buy the new graphics card and I might even sell my old GtX1060 to get some more money for a 2070.

2070's are pretty cheap atm, couple of months back i aimed for the gigabyte auros at almost 700 euro's but since then it dropped almost 70 euro's in price...

Can't imagine them to drop further but only future will tell

on userbenchmarks a 2060 and a 2070 effective speed is 18% difference and average bench is at 21 % in favour of the 2070
the 1060 3gb compares to the 2060 as                               64%                                                         62 % in favour of the 2060

the 1060 3gb compares to the 2070 as                               95 %                                                        96 % in favour of the 2070

atm i'm aiming for a navi.. that should fit better with the r5 2600

What is navi ?

AMD's new architecture that will power their next-generation video cards. I recommend that whatever you do, you wait for them to release so that other prices drop. It should release later this year.

Performance of the RTX 2060 is better than the 1070 in terms of benchmarking plus it's cheaper. There's also the fact that it's a newer generation as the 1070's are last generation, I'm surprised you can still even buy them brand new. There's obviously less memory but that doesn't really affect it too much

 

I just bought the 2060 myself after considering either the 1080 or 1070.

Do you think they will make Ti versions of the 2070?

probably not since they've passed the 2070 and have released the 2080 and it seems that they have only created a Ti version for the 2080. Don't hold me to that though, I could be wrong
