Stick to 1070 or go 2060 on 1080p

Facing a dilemma
Was offered a evga gtx1070 ftw2 for a very good price but looking into rtx 2060 which is similar to 1070ti/1080 performance with only 6gb ram
On 1080p that wouldn't make any difference and to be honest I cant see myself getting new hardware as my gaming days are over and this will do for kids
Cheapest 2060 I can see is 330 dual fan, not the best cooling solution but its a 2060 which also comes with a game which can be sold for few quid
Feels like a 1070 is a solid choice and power consumption and temps are similar to 2060
Can anyone sway me towards either? on the fence at this point :D
Cheers

For the kids and 1080p, just go for a RX580 8GB at £200 with free games and be done with it.

Don't really see the need to spend extra £150-£200 to get a 2060 for them. Hell, if dropping £350+ on graphic cards for them, you might as well get them a game console.
