New GPU for Dell S2719DGF monitor @ 1440P

beerglass007 · 21 Oct 2019 at 16:07

Currently looking at new GPU because my Vega 64 is fairy loud, i keep needing to under-volt the thing and also looking for more FPS

I've been told that my current Dell S2719DGF monitor will work with Nvidia RTX cards hopefully that's true

So I'm looking at buying back into the Nvidia market. The guess is what card

RTX 2080TI ( ouch )
RTX 2080 super ( nearly the same price as 2080 TI and feels like a poor mans TI )
RTX 2070 super ( much better price and feels best bang/buck )

Do must have you RTX guys play @ 1440P or 4K and really is 4K any good with high FPS

I have the S2719DG and still use my 980Ti. The cheap option would be to grab a 120mm AIO and a bracket to mount that on the GPU, instead of buying a replacement. That way, you can overclock it and have reduced heat and noise. There are new cards coming for 2020 so I wouldn't bother atm to be honest. Just hold out as best as you can.

Does work. I'm using a RTX 2080 without any issues. Old or new games. No problems.

That's a freesync monitor as well right? Maybe look at 5700XT? Cheaper than a 2070S, not quite as much performance but outperforms a 980Ti which someone has commented they use by a solid amount.

About a 45% increase in performance

I originally wrote +40%(ish) increase but I know how the OCUK community can be sometimes and would point out my incorrectness with it being either 39% or 41% lol

@beerglass007 the 5700XT is more or less the AMD version of a 1080Ti which is a very decent benchmark to achieve and a very comfortable performer at 1440P (considering 1080Ti's were >£700 new and a 5700Xt is £350).

According to this review, that monitors G-Sync compatible.

EIther 2070 Super, or 2080 Ti, as the 2080s are not worth buying now, as the 2070 Supers just as fast.

Thanks all

So how much better performance is the 5700XT over the Vega 64 ? 40% ?

I assume the GTX 2070 Super is better again, if so what card is the to get ?

Thanks

err wut? more in the region of 20-25 percent.
not to mentioned that a 5700xt is already flat out running out of the box with no oc headroom
and an undervolted, overclocked vega 64 can gain 10-15% performance on top

so if you've done the manual undervolting, overclocking bit on your vega 64, the difference is more in the region of 10-15% aka totally pointless sidegrade

tamzzy · 21 Oct 2019 at 19:19

you should be looking at approx 50% gpu performance bump to be considered a worthwhile upgrade (though imo should be more like 75-100%)
stock vega64 to stock 2080 super is approx 40% performance gain...up to you if it's worth it.
i wouldn't call changing a vega 64 to a 5700xt/2070s/2080 a worthwhile upgrade

2070 Super, id just get the KFA2 1CLICK-OC.

I have the S2719DGF and a Samsung LS27H850 27" which is also native 1440p.

I was running an RX580 which ran very loud, giving around 60fps at 1440p high.

Though, I had lots of driver problems and DP (Display Port) drop outs, which the cards can be notorious for, so I recently upgraded to an MSI Ventus 2070 Super.

It runs much quieter than the RX 580, the DP drop outs appear to have gone, drivers seem more reliable than AMD's, and of course a big improvement in fps (and around a 100% general increase over the RX 580), just leaving my CPU as the bottleneck. I generally always see over 60fps on v high settings.

I realise you're upgrading from a Vega 64, not an RX 580, but based upon my experiences, it so far feels worth it to pay a bit more for the 2070 Super over AMD's.

I'd also say make sure you have good quality DP or HDMI cables to run the signal to your monitor(s), as they can cause problems too. Make sure your cable spec is equal to or exceeds the monitor/GPU spec; especially if you want to use the 144/155Hz setting in the S2719DGF.

Clarify which S2719DGF you have aswell as I believe there are two versions, one with freesync and one with G Sync. That might influence your decision. Mine is Freesync, but it doesn't bother me as much as it might others.

My MSI Ventus 2070 Super has DisplayPort x 3 (v1.4) / HDMI 2.0b x 1.

From the S2719DGF Manual:

Also worth bearing in mind not all 2070 supers are the same, the reference card and many others don't allow the fans to be completely idle. I actually didn't get the founders edition because of that as it runs at 1000rpm in idle. I got the slightly more expensive Gigabyte OC gamer edition for a 4 year warranty and a cooler that allows fans to be totally idle unless under load.

Won't matter to many, but it's my work PC as well and my work does't need any gpu power so it's great to have a totally silent card for those times.

2070 super seems to be the best value higher performance card. Would handle that res rather easily.

beerglass007 · 24 Oct 2019 at 08:59

Well guys I ended up getting the 2070 Super Gigabyte OC gamer edition and wow its quite
I was told my And 2600 could be a bottle neck so also upgraded to a 3600

Really happy now and Freesync appears to work fine with the monitor

Also as I took the old Vega 64 out of the PC found it had 4 fan fins missing and fallen into the case. So currently in the process of a RMA for that card, this I'm sure was half the problem. No idea how this has happened as its not touching anything inside, just looks like poor plastics used

Use Anand Tech GPU bench to compare them

beerglass007 · 24 Oct 2019 at 15:00

Got this score running @ 1440p

Honestly? For a V64 that you already have the best thing you can do is get something like a Morpheus cooler and use it on the card.

Good choice, in my humble opinion the 2070 Super Gigabyte OC Gamer version is the best value 2070 for all the features. Metal backplate, triple fan version with silent cooler mode for idle, includes the usb C port that many others lack, includes factory OC, under 29 CM long so fits in most cases, plus a 4 year warranty. I did my research and so many other 2070s lack one or a few of those features.
