Indecision 2060 Super

[VirginStranger]

Using Evga RTX2070 XC Ultra on main PC, I'm a medium to light gamer but like current and future games to look as good as they can and using 1440p. I have about £300 burning a hole in my pocket to spend my secondary PC currently running with MSI 1070 Gaming X, at 1440p which i will sell to a friend for a friendly price of £120, so I will have £420 to spend.

Do I go with MSI RTX2060 Super Gaming X currently can get for £389 or what other another RTX2060 Super do you suggest, or do I go for a cheapo RTX2070 say around £450 ish and if so which one. Ideally I would like splash £500 and pick up MSI RTX2070 Super Gaming X, but have spent the past month swaying back and forth to make a decision. I know the arguments that the 1070 maybe good for another year say but I do notice the obvious difference when switching between my main and secondary PC.

Someone please push me into a decision.

Keep the GTX1070?? The RTX2060 has less VRAM and is not massively faster,and the fact is if you had spent that extra budget on your main PC,you could have got a faster graphics card.

You can get a 5700XT for 330 give or take and it's not much (10-15%, even beats it in some games) slower than a 2070S.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Powercolor Radeon RX 5700 XT Dual Fan 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £338.99
• 1 x Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £374.99

Total: £713.98 (includes shipping: £0.00)​

​

I'd take either of the above over a 2060S any day.

That said, the 1070 is still a decent card.

Decision 1: RX 5700 XT since it crushes the 2060 Super for about the same money
Decision 2: RX 5700 since it's on par with the 2060 Super for a good chunk less money

In both of the above cases, if you're unlucky enough to face the driver issues and you can't resolve it, you can always return the cards.

Decision 3: unless have spare cash is actually giving you cancer, keep it and keep the 1070
Decision 4: if you REALLY REALLY want to get rid of money, you can help fund a couple of my watercooling and mod projects

Keep the money and 1070 and get a 3060 in a years time

Keep the money and 1070 and get a 3060 in a years time

Which will probably be about the same as a 2070 Super but costs £500+ to pay for RT performance that actually exists
