JonDnD 2,618 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Debating between the two. 1070 has 2 more GB of vram and for 108060 only a few games will benefit from the 2060. Not concerned about RT and the 2060 will fail at that anyway. I can currently get a 1070 for 300 bucks. 2060 will be minimum 350. It has 2 games for free but the games are only a 15 dollar EA premier value. 1070 comes with MHW which I would give to one of you since I don't like it. TDP is roughly the same. the 1070 I was looking at is a little less. Both would be pushing my PSU. Im only planning on 1080p60 gaming. What would you do . Yes yes, JonBHermit I would just ask Remij but I am afraid he has died Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spicalicious 128 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 probably 1070.. you know it to be true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,618 Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 1070 is better value for what im going to use it for. It should be able to do 108060 for the rest of this gen. They will probably both give me the same experience 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alphonse★ 453 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 2060 will have a longer lifespan but the 1070 is cheaper and since you will only be doing 1080p60 gaming, I say go with the 1070. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ill probably get the same out of either. I think next gen will require a 2070 minimum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spicalicious 128 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 But then again, I'm not sure what benefits the 2060 might have for future games... And I'm sure the 2060 can play 1080p games just fine. Until you are interested in playing pc games in 1080p or higher I doubt either of those cards will make a huge difference. I could be wrong. Yes, the 2060 is newer but I doubt it would have a significant increase in performance but I could be wrong. Anyone want to chime in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JonDnD 2,618 Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 the 2060 is about 1070 ti to 1080 level according to Nvidia. Its a better card for sure, but, it lacks in VRAM compared to the 1070 and almost all current gen benchmarks for the 1070 are 60fps +. If the 1070 does 60 fps and the 2060 does 80 fps it doesn't matter to me since ill be gamin at 60fps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the next consoles will be 1080 level. I bet even the 1070 will be good enough for next gen games at 1080p, if the consoles are focusing on 4k. Im not planning on a 4k gaming pc, its too expensive. Ill stick with Xbox 4k and Pc 1080p Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alphonse★ 453 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 You should go with the 1070 but wait for a sub $300 deal. https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spicalicious 128 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 VRAM shouldn't be a problem for either of those cards since you are gaming at 1080p/60 I suppose. So until you're ready to go higher res it's probably better to get the cheapest one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it has at least 4 GB then it should be more than fine at 1080p for a good while. Hold up. What is the standard VRAM on cards these days I haven't even been reading up on that? I know some cards have 12 GB or some crazy shit.. How much does a 2060 have? I can't see it being more than 6 GB right? Edited January 2, 2019 by S#$@%^i Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Id get the 6gb. 4gb is not enough for 1080p, believe me I know I have a 3gb 1060. 6 will probably make it through the gen tho/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alphonse★ 453 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Looking at some of the benchmarks the performance difference won't be that huge for someone who doesn't care for 4k. The only positive for the 2060 that I see for you is that it will have a longer life span. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spicalicious 128 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 If you were going for the 20 series then go 2070 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spicalicious 128 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 1070s might drop hard again when 2060 releases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
