Is it worth the upgrade ?

[eliott]

Hi 

I have a GTX 980 ti evga acx2.0 

And I'm thinking off buying a rtx 2060 KO 

Do you guys think it's worth the upgrade?

If the 980 Ti isn't meeting your current needs, then yes. If it is meeting your needs, then no.

 

Without any indication of resolution/refresh rate/games you're targeting only you can answer the "worth it" question.

980Ti isn't all that much slower than the 2060.  I would at least go 2080 or better.

 

980Ti should still be performing well.  As above, what resolution, games, settings?

What price? Where I live 6600 XT's are cheaper and much better (performance is between a 3060 and 3060 Ti, identical to a 2070 Super).

 

The 2060 would be 10-50% faster depending on the game. It will also add features such as RT (still wouldn't recommend this with a 2060), DLSS and a better encoder. Unless the 980 Ti isn't enough I wouldn't upgrade.

I have a 1440p 144hz monitor 

And I play games like GTA 5 the assassin's creed's red dead redemption 2 stuff like that I have a smooth experience already but like everyone you always want more and also I think the 2060 is going to hold its value better than the 980 ti over time

Paying for no real benefit now so you can recoup that wasted money later....interesting logic.

 

Looks like you have your mind set, hope it works out for you how you envision.

 

You're betting that the 2060 will be worth more later, as the 980Ti will be near worthless later?  Spend $200 extra now and get $400 extra later?  Vs $200 with the 980Ti? Am I understanding your thought process?

It's a pretty good deal on the 2060 I could easily sell it 50 or 100 € more than the price I'm going to maybe buy it at I live in France btw 

And my card is worth about 250 to 300 so the upgrade would cost me a little bit but I would then have a much more valuable card
