For the price of a 2060 you can get a 5700, which is a better performer. The 2060 isn't a terrible deal though. It really depends on the price point he's leaning towards and the performance he wants to get, and i guess for these kind of games like a 580 or 590 would be great

Ok.. I got a friend who has a new system but still running on an old Nvidia 1050 and wants to upgrade.

He has about $300 +/- some cause I can help him out. He wants the card to last at least 5 years if possible. He doesn't play at high resolutions so don't need 1440p or 4k just basic 1080p will do and wants to be able to play at high to maxed settings and still be able to get 60+ fps minimum. He's mainly into MMO's and ARPGs like Torchlight Frontiers getting ready to come out or a alpha title called Crowfall, not really any high demanding games like Battlefield or Call of Duty or anything I'd say..

I was thinking maybe an RX580 or maybe a 2060?? idk figured I'd post here and get some other opinions and see what everyone here thinks since you've all always helped so much when it comes to decisions xD

Thanks for your time ?

If it's 60fps you're talking about, RX580 can do it relatively fine for current AAA games.

A 2060 is an overkill really, still expensive for what you're aiming.

You can spend the extra money for another upgrade like cpu or ram.
