Hello,

Question to all the experts here... Is worth uprading my 2070S to 4060Ti for strategy gaming? The only game that is currently struggling at highest settings is Jagged Alliance 3... All my other favorites paly fine (TW, XCOM and FM game types). Resolution is 1440p

thanks
 
Is it an upgrade? Yes.

Is it much of an upgrade? No. TPU have it (the 8GB version, here) 28% faster, on average.

Completely agree with Humbug. If buying new then the card he recommended is a good option.

If going used then at a minimum I'd look for a 3080, ideally 12GB.

I just upgraded from 2070S to 7900XT, and whilst it was quite a bit more expensive (2070S was £479 and 7900XT was £699 but came with Starfield worth ~£70, which I wanted) it's a massive performance upgrade.
 
I am only looking for used stuff, so yes 3080 could be an option... Have some concerns against AMD. In the past my AMD/ATI cards were much worse in terms of drivers...

I've used nVidia exclusively since pre Riva TNT days. I've just bought my first AMD card (7900XT) and I'm mighty impressed. Their Adrenalin software seems excellent.

About 30%, turn the couch upside down and give it a good shake, then raid your child's porcelain piggy bank, do whatever it takes to up your budget for the RX 6800 i linked in post #6.

thanks, money isn't really the problem, more with that card I will get a 7.6% bottleneck on my current CPU according to an online calculator, but I do run an overclock to 4.9Mhz, would that mitigate?

Core i5-8600K, prob time to upgrade, may just do a full build and gift the rig to the kids

That's not a bad CPU, its one of those CPU's where its not bad but also not great, it might struggle a bit with some games, but difficult to say definitively because its not a 7700K or a Ryzen 1600, its better than that.

Best advice i can give, if you're thinking about upgrading that too, see how you get on with the new GPU and that CPU, if you're not looking for high refresh rates and and playing at high res with high settings you might find it ok, i guess what i'm saying is don't rush in to it, make the decision about the CPU when you know for certain.
