New GPU ~$280

[MarvintheParrot]

Hi, I’m in the am let for a new GPU, I was thinking the rx5600xt, but then I saw the EVGA B-stock, it’s basically refurbished EVGA products. So then I saw the RTX 2060 KO for $280. Someone help me decide, if I were to get a rx5600xt I would get the gigabyte model. Any suggestions are welcome!

If you can't wait for RDNA2 (the reveal is set for October 28), then I'd get the 2060 unless you can get a Sapphire Pulse or Powercolor Red Dragon 5600XT for cheaper.

 

Do note that the 2060 KO is quite loud. It's mostly related to the default fan curve, meaning that you could mess around with it to not be as obnoxious, but still it's something to keep in mind.

Have you noticed 1080 ti price drops?

I'm upgrading my rx 580 and I thought 3080/big Navi but went for a used 1080 ti  @ 300-400 $ no RTX tho

The title clearly states new.

If you can't wait for big Navi to come out and to check what it has to offer, though if you can't, the 5600xt is decent, I recommend a pulse model which usually comes flashed with the new bios. But if you're limited to the gigabyte one, then it'll be fine.

Hi! Th a m you for your response! I was thinking about waiting for big Navi, but I realized that they were going to have performance similar to the 2080 ti, so then also higher prices. Also why wait when I can just Get one now and enjoy the new performance and not worry about having the best of the best pc parts. Also the GPU does not have to be “new” I just want a GPU upgrade

Thanks for letting me know, I want a not loud system. The RTX 2060 sc and xc from EVGA are also going for $280 from a very b stock, are any of those quieter?

I mean that's rumored to be the top card so you can still wait but if you're still set on a new card, the 5600xt is pretty decent for around 280 bucks and is similar in performance to the 2060 KO.

If those are the single-fan models you're talking about, then I probably wouldn't bother with them.

No, the 2 fanned ones, sorry for the mix up.

Then yeah I'd probably get either of those instead of the KO. I think Gamers Nexus has a review of the 2060 XC Ultra up on YouTube.
