I currently have a GTX 1060 6GB and have been thinking about a quite big upgrade. I have been considering the RTX 2070 or the RTX 2060S. MY CPU is and intel i5-9600k. Any ideas on what GPU's would give me the best bang for the buck? Preferably no more than 400 USD.

Hope you, the good people of LTT forums can help ;)

For Nvidia and AMD respectively

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

If you're looking for the best bang for the buck up to $400, then the 5700XT might be the better choice. Performance wise it's between the 2060S and the 2070S, probably closer to the 2070S depending on the game. From what I've heard, drivers have gotten better recently for Navi, but I can't comment on that from personal experience.

Desktop: Intel Core i9-9900K | ASUS Strix Z390-F | G.Skill Trident Z Neo 2x16GB @ 3200MHz CL14 | EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER XC Ultra | Corsair RM650x | Fractal Design Define R6

Laptop: 2018 Apple MacBook Pro 13"  --  i5-8259U | 8GB LPDDR3 | 512GB NVMe

Peripherals: Leopold FC660C w/ Topre Silent 45g | Logitech MX Master 3 & Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed | HIFIMAN HE400se & iFi ZEN DAC | Audio-Technica AT2020USB+
