What is more Important?

[Elee]

When buying a new graphics card, should you try find a better clock speed or chipset?

For instance, would you choose:

 

a GTX 1660 ti 

Core Clock: 1890 MHz

Boost Clock: 1830 MHz

 

 

or an RTX 2060

Core Clock: 1365 MHz

Boost Clock: 1710 MHz

chipset is a motherboard thing, not a GPU.

 

get the card that has better performance. a 2060 beats a 1660 ti, but you wouldn't necessarily know that by counting cuda cores and clock speeds. A spec sheet doesn't tell you everything.

Don't bother looking at those specs, look at actual reviews/benchmarks for the purposes you will use your GPU for.

The RTX 2060 is usually a bit better:

If we nit pick about 1660Ti or 2060 then might as well get a 5700 or just buy a used 1070 or 1080 and call it a day.

Step 1 is to not look at the spec sheet and read/watch actual reviews.
