2060 / 2070 or Vega 64.

Vega 64 and sell the bundled games.

Get Vega 64: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapp...hbm2-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-38j-sp.html

Rust LOVES Vram, so I'd avoid the 2060. And since you can also use HBCC with Vega, I'd pass on the 2070. It's also cheaper & has better bundle, so win win win.

Note: This depends on your PSU. If your PSU is not so good and you'd have to upgrade that too, then perhaps 2070 is an option again.

Which GPU do you currently use? If it's VRAM you want, might you consider a second-hand Pascal Titan X or Titan Xp?

I have a zotac 1070ti but i gave it to my dad so currently my pc has no gpu. He is giving me what i paid for the zotac so im looking to replace it. I play rust 95% of the time i game. My cpu is a i7 4770k, 600 watt psu, 16gb ddr3 ram

My son plays rust and it runs sweet at 1080p with a 980ti

Not a lot of value in that price range really.

I would wait for the non RTX 1660TI. If rumours are true you will get 1070 performance for about ~£240.

 

[IceUK]

So would you say the Vega 64 is better than the 1070ti as they are both same price. I would sell the games as they dont interest me.

 

[Ezyryder]

Vega 64 is the value choice more so if tweaked. Should come in under £400 if you sell the games. What PSU do you have?

 

[Quartz]

Hot in from Techspot is that the GTX 1660 Ti gives the same performance as the GTX 1070 and should be well within your budget..

Yes - more 1080, just under 2070. Excellent card when undervolted. If you get one, get the sapphire nitro +.

 

[stuartharrison]

Having a quick look at the 1660ti speculation, I'd prefer an undervolted Sapphire vega 56, for £300 here, which should outperform it and match a 1070ti.

 

[Kirby Wurm]

I'd definitely say the Sapphire V56 Pulse. Undervolted and overclocked it gets near the 1080 in some instances, a great card for £300 and you'll still get good money back for the games. Traditionally AMD cards age better than Nvidia's so it would likely last longer.

 

[Maldoror]

For £400-£500 I'd say a 2070. It's faster than a Vega64 and more efficient. It may not represent the apex of RTX feature-set performance but it can do ray tracing. You mention that Rust is a favourite game and Unity will apparently have RTX support soon. Rust is also a very competitive game and whilst ray tracing features that reduce framerate might seem unhelpful, it also raises a point about how ray traced global illumination might change what you can and can't see in Rust's (often very) dark areas. At worst it's an unused gimmick and at best something that improves Rust either in atmosphere or to a player's advantage.

I seldom suggest the waiting game for threads like this. People could wait months for nothing.

As others have said, a Vega 64 will be a good choice.

Vega 64 or 2070.

 

[IceUK]

Its down to vega64 or 2070.

 

[IceUK]

I ordered the https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapp...hbm2-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-38j-sp.html

It was a bit cheaper and i will sell the games as i have no interest in them.

Thank you all for your input

A cracking choice, make sure you undervolt it for even more performance and lower noise levels.
