[Boring]New GPU questions after Nvidia conference

[Ozozuz]

Hello guys,

a few months ago i sold my old RX480 to buy a new one, i'm slightly and amd fan "mainly couse of freesync" but i have no problem switching to nvidia, that's why i waited till today for the 20** series but now i'm stuck with some consideration.

*2070RTX Is too expensive FOR ME, from what we can see "2080ti struggle with 1080p RayTracing" i don't think the 2070 is worth the price, probably not a huge leap in normal rasterization performance and not enought power for a decent RT, plus i have to wait till september.
*Next one is the 2060GTX, no RTX compatible and i will probably have to wait late november to buy it at a decent price, i assume around ~400€ with 1070 or 1070ti performance, it seems reasonable to you ?

 

At this point i think that vega56 "SEEMS" be a decent alternative to the 2060, available now at around 450€ with around 60-70€ of free game bundles that i will sell and since the vega56 is around the 1070~1070ti i think that the 2060 will pair her.

 

What do you think ?

ps. Current price here where i live.

* vega 56 for around 470 "with the 3 games i hope i can sell at ~60€";
*1070ti at around 460
*1070 at 430

Vega56 seems to be the best deal here.

 

Forget 20 series, as they are the first RTX cards and getting one at a price their performance is worth will be difficult. As for the 2060... I doubt if it will be faster than 1070ti or Vega56. New gen card, but a mid range one.

You do play on 1080p monitor, right??

Then OC your rx480 and hold on for a month or so. You probably will have issues in selling games and the premium you pay for Vega is probably in the end not worth Free Sync (you will pull 80+ fps in most titles after your purchase).

If you already have an RX 480, keep it.

 

Vega 56 is an upgrade, no doubt, but it's not earth-shatteringly better. You will probably end up spending a lot of money for a minimal upgrade.

Already sold the 480, was a very good gpu but "my card" has some serious overheating problem and a very noisy fan, despite being one of the best after market cooler, long story.

Kinda, 1080p but on 21:9 so 2560x1080, sometimes the 480 can't keep a solid 75fps.
Why do you think i should wait for a month ? For the 20** cards ?
For the games, dunnow, the should simply provide you a key to activate on steam, i don't see big problems here.

Hi, yes I think that you should wait for 2000 series gpu benchmarks.

I can see that performance wise the Vega will deliver exactly what you need - a 1080p ultrawide 75fps. Especially if you overclock and vega does OC nicely if you provide decent cooling and have enough wattage.

But to put it bluntly - not waiting for benchmarks or at least more believable leaks will definitely not be a good idea, unless you have no GPU right now. If you have no GPU at the moment then go get Vega and be happy

 

btw - are you happy with your lg monitor? does it feel better then standard non-ultrawide in gaming?

Yes, i have no gpu atm and since i have a ryzen i can't use the pc :c
I have no problem to wait a month "but i think even more for the 2060 benchmarks" but if i buy now the Vega i will receive the games bundle worth around 100€ that i can sell but if i wait the bundle will probably be over.

In everything but gaming the ultrawide is a complete new experience, better in every single way, in gaming i think it depends, for singleplayer and slow-paced games it's wonderfull "but heavier to run than what you may expect", for competitive games sometimes i run at 16:9 with black bars on the sides...

Thanks for honest answer

Looking at your situation, budget and offerings... I'd say you would have to wait at least till 2060 cuz 2070+ will be out of your budget. I expect not so much of a difference between 2060 and vega56 and with vega you get freesync. Yea... Vega 56 is certainly your best option here. Even if you sell half of those games then I think it's worth it. Good luck and if you buy Vega 56 don't be afraid to twist those clocks a bit higher then stock, it's basically free performance!

From these options, either Nitro+ Vega 56 or a 1070 Ti. Vega would allow you to take advantage of FreeSync.

Yeah, main doubt if is it worth to wait for 2060, probably because i'll have to buy a very cheap gpu meanwhile and i won't have the games to sell !

Yeah, from vega56 and 70ti i prefere the Vega, my question is if it's worth to wait for the 2060

What do you think about this?

2060 is probably going to be between 1070 and 1070Ti performance and it's not going to be cheaper. I don't see enough value in 2060 if you can get vega56 with freesync for similar price. Go get that vega and stay happy man!  Also as a slight bonus you're going to give AMD some money which means you'll be actively working towards better competition on market!
