GTX 970 => 1650 Super?

[whm1974]

I selected a notification option for the Gigabyte 1650 Super in case my 970 dies on me from bhphoto. It was fairly cheap that I could come up up the money for. I game out 2560x1600 with graphic settings at Medium to High. 2560x1600 is a mandatory requirement due to my display native resolution. That and I'm a Linux gamer. Sometimes game don't reset after playing back.

 

Does this meet those requirement? Or should I save up for something higher end?

They are kinda nearly on par with one another, but I would ride that 970 until it dies... the longer you wait the more of a chance for prices to drop/find one at a decent price.

Maybe this will help?

You should never recommend anyone benchmarks like these. Most of the time they don't even have the hardware and just fake the fps

I sold my 970 3 years ago that was running on a Haswell build. That wasn't great at 1920x1200 and I've decided to replace that with a 1660 Super from EVGA - when they decide it's my turn, or I find something better before they get around to me. In theory it's around 25% faster than the 970. The 1650 Super isn't going to be much more powerful than your existing 970 so you'll need something better than that tbh.

 

For my US build I'm looking at a 3070, targeting 2560x1440 with a 1% min of 60fps - you have 160 more vertical pixel rows, so I think you'd need at least a 3070, if not something more powerful for a long term option.

Yes I would need something I can afford. That was the cheapest viable option for me. But I wanted to check. I might select one of 1660 instead.  But this morning I will get the replacement fans fixed my problem not able to play games.
