2060 really worth it ?

jaydam · 1 Dec 2019 at 21:10

Looking at potential Xmas presents.
Is the 2060 worth the upgrade ?
Current system specs below,

No. It's <20% improvement from a 1070.

CuriousTomCat · 1 Dec 2019 at 22:17

A lower mid range GPU and a high end CPU is an odd mix. If the 1070 is causing low framerates then I suggest a 2070 Super at the very least, preferably higher like a 2080.

Don't get the 2060, get a 2070S, that Palit at £460 is a good buy.

EDIT:

It was £460 but it's gone up a tenner!

Not from a 1070. I'd wait for the next round of cards and grab a 3070.

BigBANGtheory · 2 Dec 2019 at 09:44

Definitely not worth it.

If you have the upgrade itch get the 2070Super.

willhub · 4 Dec 2019 at 15:11

2070S is a real good card.

LoadsaMoney · 4 Dec 2019 at 19:19

Agree with the above, the 2070 Super, is the card to get right now

Two weeks on Tuesday.

I was going to suggest just bag a cheap second 1070 (assuming your favourite games support SLI of course) and rock that until a worthwhile upgrade is available (30xx series) but, unless I'm mistaken, you've bought an Nvidia card but have a board that supports AIT crossfire, not SLI.....

Do not buy a 2060, the bang/buck is crap compared to what you have now tbh, hang fire and wait.

Maybe consider the 2070 non super, faster than a 2060 super and from only £380.

LePhuronn · 5 Dec 2019 at 16:27

And there's always the 5700 and 5700 XT if you're not tied to Nvidia.

2070S? i wish....

I feel your pain.

melmac · 6 Dec 2019 at 13:49

2070 super is a great card.

Gray2233 · 6 Dec 2019 at 14:03

Here's a good read: https://www-techspot-com.cdn.amppro...ot.com/article/1953-then-and-now-400-usd-gpu/

I'd say the 5700XT is a decent upgrade from a 1070, a 2070S would be a tad better, although a pretty hefty price jump depending on the models you're looking at.

The 2060(S) is just at a poor price point given the competition, hell you can get a 2070 vanilla for the same price as a 2060S even if you don't want to go AMD.

why not get a 2070? it's only £370 ish. it's also only 7-8% slower than a 2070 super.
