[Dannes33]

Hi, I have been looking at the ASUS GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ROG Strix AD and it recomends 550w psu wich I have but it also needs 8pin + 6pin power and I only have one power cable wich hapens to have both on it so I was wonderibg if I can use one cable for two connections or if it will f things up.

What's your budget/country, monitor resolution/refresh rate, and what do you need the PC for?

 

As the RX 5700/XT is going to be equal/faster at the same price or less.

My budget is 500€ and I'm going to be using the card for gaming, (1080p 240hz) mostly csgo, rust and cod

its for sale in sweden for 500€ and I have an amd card right now and I do not fancy the software for it

Which AMD card? and what issues are you having with the software?

Why are nvidia cards so expensive in sweden jeez, ya the 5700/XT is a decently better value, it's like a 2070 for the price of your 2060s on the part picker at least.

 

What's your used market like? What's the price on a 980ti/1070/1070ti/1080? all of those will be fine for gaming at that resolution, and may be a lot cheaper. Still in almost the same performance tier to the 2060

we have 25% taxes on everything we buy... Im using the amd radeon setting software and its just not doing anything except change the color settings and crash ( I havea msi radeon 470 something ) and used cards are not on the table cuz they are almost more expensive than the real car and you have to drive to hell and back to get them

Probably use the display driver uninstaller and throw the latest bios on it, at worst reinstall windows as it could also be that windows is the issue, but it should work fine, as tons of people have polaris cards.

But your PSU is fine as long as you have the 2 PCI-e connections it needs, in any event. RIP sweden PC gamers. Guessing you can't just smuggle things in from the UK or something?

yeah no we cant smuggle from uk but we can from Norway (they often have little better deals when there krone isnt at a good value). Thanks for your help and I hope you'll have a good day
