Need a new gpu? Suggestions

[frankgore77]

Hey guys so i have my gaming rig setup and im looking for a new gpu to buy i was thinking 1660ti or 2060 or maybe 2070

What are some suggestions do you think the 1660ti beats the 2060 just for price or do you think i should bump it up to 2070 im looking to buy a new monitor also running 1440p

but for now im with 1080p. It has to be able to stream also without bottlenecking here are my specs also if you have any suggestions if i should do anything else to upgrade my pc would really appreciate it.

I can watch videos all day but i want real tech guys to tell me the truth

Here are my specs

Ryzen 7 1800x

GTX 1060 3gb

DDR4 two 8gb sticks running dual channel at 4000mhz

two ssds one hard drive

500watt psu

b450pro mobo

Liquid dual fan cooler for cooling the ryzen

My pc doesnt feel as fast as it should really be also and ive looked everywhere but nothing should be bottlenecking me besides the 1060 3gb any suggestions would be nice would like the gpu to be under 400$

and also thinking of buying new monitor

HELP a brotha out

I'd say RX 5700 custom cards or RTX 2060 Super, only if the memory PSU and board are any good.

Youre running an 1800x and 4000mhz DDR4, a 1660ti would be a lower end pairing and kinda mediocre. Aim for the 2070.

The 1660ti is a jump over the 3gb 1060 but not nearly as much as a 2070 is, and even a 2070 over a 1660ti. It would be the best pairing for the rest of the system.

Upgrade the PSU as well, a 2070 is going to be a substantially larger power drain on the system and depending on what PSU that is, it might not be able to handle the 2070 + 1800x under load, or the high load could reduce the lifespan of the PSU.

I recommend any of the basic standby 650w units, a corsair rm650x or seasonic ssr650 fx come to mind first. This would be a bit more wattage than the system would realistically need, but a high end PSU + average load = long lifespan, less heat and noise. A good investment for 70 bucks if youre gonna be dropping triple digits on a GPU anyway in a fairly high end system.

 

If you wanted to go cheaper, a 1660ti wouldnt be a bad choice, but it wouldnt be a particularly impactful upgrade.

So should i go 2070 or ti version? i also made a mistake i have a vs650 watt psu sorry for the error there. Also do you think an m.2 for windows and using the ssds for most games would be a slightly faster experience or do you think that wouldnt impact as much as the 2070?

The ddr4 is ripjaws and the psu for both you guys i just looked it up sorry for wrong specs here its a vs650 watt do you think this one would be fine

I would say , go with your budget. In 6 months news card will come on the market.

Either one works, really if you can get a 2070ti for 20-30$ more than a regular 2070 then go for it, but either one would be a good choice.

Your PSU isnt great, low efficiency and all that, and im certain a lot of people are about to quote that PSU and tell you that. However its not the worst, you could power a 2070/2070ti on it without issue. There are OEM builds with much worse power supplies out there.

 

An M.2 or NVME ssd for windows and games would be a great investment, it doesnt even have to be much of a big one, games with heavy loading times would benefit a lot. GTA V comes to mind in particular, it relies on quick load times to the extent that 5400rpm hard drives can actually cause the game to fail to load content and stutter. If you play games that have those kinds of load times, slap them on an m.2/nvme ssd instead. 

For windows itself, you probably wont notice too big of a change as opposed to a 7200rpm hard drive or sata ssd, besides boot times being a bit shorter.

If you were gonna add one, i say just drop it in as a drive to store your most played games on so they load faster, shouldnt be too expensive of a thing to add a 250gb nvme drive.

Really appreciate all the help here the ti version of the 2070 is insanely overpriced im buying brand new so yeah ill prolly grab the 2070. But yeah last time i posted on here with that power supply people were telling me i was a dumbass and loser for buying that one but i have never had power supplies fail me i used a 300 watt with and i7 and a superclocked 660ti before with 6 hard drives 2 ssds with disc drives and like 8 fans and it powered it fine no problems but all the fanboys will probably come out. Once again i really appreciate all the help here just figuring out what im gonna do and what suggestions are good cause while streaming i feel my gpu bottlenecking me hard

I just doubt you can run 4000MHz on Ryzen 1st gen. The best I've seen is 3600 excluding extreme overclocking.

 

board?

Consider buying yourself more lottery tickets since you seem to do well with luck.
