2060 to a 2069 Suoet. Worth it or not?

I've also considered switching to a 5700XT but from what I've watched and read about noise, temps and driver issues I don't think the red team is for me. My card is cool and virtually silent at all times so I wouldn't want to lose that.

5700 XT Reference cards are hot & loud but aftermarket cards are a different matter as are the drivers, With the RDNA Architecture being new there's bound to be a few bugs that need fixing but AMD drivers are no worse that Nvidia's & in my opinion they're the better ones overall, hence why Nvidia are the ones playing catch-up in the features category.

There's nothing wrong with a 2060 but if you do want an upgrade the only ones worth considering are the 2070, 2070S & 5700 XT, moving from a 2060 to a 2060S is a waste of time & money.

I have been keeping an eye on the Nvidia site for availability of the 2070 Super FE and madly today it's showing in stock. That's going for £489. Worth it you think or do I really need to look at after market cooling?

The new model FE cards are very good and can be compared to AiB models. Cool & quiet. If that is within budget I'd go for it.

Well just to update this thread, I decided to go with the 2070 Super, Nvidia edition. I had set my mind on the 5700XT Powercolor Red Devil, even pre-ordered one, but after reading a lot of comments regarding a multiple of problems with the drivers, then several threads discussing dreadful EU Powercolor RMA support and on top of that their website has been completely offline for a few days I decided to stick with what I know, team green. I have previous experience with Nvidia RMA and it was painless and although their drivers still have some issues, I have never experienced anything game breaking.

Thanks all for your comments and advice.
