 (sorry for being uneducated about this topic to those who are informed on this topic) So i made a post previously about thinking of upgrading to a GTX 1060 but then recently  but im wondering what graphics card is the best for a reasonable price for example would i be better getting a 1070 or 1080 and if i get the 1060 should i get the 6gb.

Some people might start selling their 1070ti or  1080 for  the upcoming 2080, so now's the time to grab one. :D

I've been running a 1070 since november, and its been fantastic. If you can get a 1080 go for it.

The 2080 performs worse than a 1080Ti, did you not watch Techlinked?

2080 has cuda cores at almost t he same amount like the 1080 but magically it's 50% faster in which is more or less the same league as the 1080ti.

I don't think they said it's worse than 1080ti.

What they said is Ray Tracing may take it's toll on graphical performance due to it's processing needs.
Don't Preorder now, they said.


But i preordered 2.  Damn.

The 1060 isn't known for crashing. I think that might have been one person's card. I used a 1060 for a long time, and Nvidia can't be releasing graphics cards that just don't work. 1060 6gb is definitely worth it to me, as well as the RX 580.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
