GPU advice

[sithuhlaing]

I currently have a 2060, more specifically, a gigabyte oc model. The card runs hot and loud, but otherwise the performance is fine. So I can sell the card now and upgrade to a 5700xt Red Devil (which is on sale and stock might not last very long) for about 150$ premium over the resale price. Is it worth it? Or should I stick with it until 3060 comes along and potentially lose more resale value but maybe better performance?

I personally would wait and see what Nvidia has in store with its new lineup of cards.

 

I think that by the time they launch the 3060, amd will have come with THEIR new gpus.

 

I'm sure you will find something good then and if not, surely you can find last gen cards for cheap-ish.

 

EDIT: Also, as a sidenote, the card running hot might indicate poor airflow within your case. If thats the case, maybe look into that issue first (pun not intended)

 

 

Thats my suggestion.

Thank you. Yes, my case has restricted airflow but ive checked on reviews and forums and my model in particular has bad thermal and acoustic performance. That’s why I’m aiming at a top-tier 5700xt.

I think I’ll take your advice and wait.

How hot exactly?

but if you're set on an upgrade, wait for ampere and big navi and check what they have to offer and decide.
