RTX 2060 Super or ?

[Nostvlgic]

Hey guys sold my 1050 ti so I need a new gpu. I have been eyeing the RTX 2060 Super, but was wondering if I should wait off for new cards, or is the 2060 Super a good card right now.

Meant "good card right now" as it being a future proof card, and if so for how long?

Thanks

It's hard to say anything about new cards right now. I doubt they'll arrive prior to Computex (June 2 - June 6) and they might not actually launch until considerably after Computex, like in September or later. It's also pretty likely that only the high end (like 3080 Ti and 3080) will launch at first, with lower end cards like 3060 launching sometime later. Potentially into 2021. Their specs and performance are unknown.

 

2060 Super is a pretty good GPU right now. AMD's RX 5700 XT handily beats it in gaming performance, but Nvidia has advantages like the NVENC encoder.

I heard mixed reviews in regards with temps and drivers for the 5700 XT do you know if those have been sorted out?

Hell no they haven’t. I’m running the old 19.12.1 driver on my rx5700 as it was the only thing stable. Any newer driver would give me black screens, horizontal artifacts when I start games and randomly crash. The old driver has been rock solid for me. 
 

I haven’t had a single issue with temps. The card runs cool and I’m more then happy with that aspect. 

 

 

I paid $300 for the rx5700, I flashed the 5700xt bios onto it and the card is giving me amazing frame rates at 1080p. Sure figuring out the driver stuff drove me nuts but I’m getting way better frame rates then I would of got with the rtx 2060 ok card that was in my price range. It cost me a few hours of fiddling around to figure out the issue and I’m glad I got this card

Yea I went for it and bought a 5700 XT last night.
