Tyymunk Posted July 30, 2019 Content Count: 820 Joined: 01/01/19 Status: Offline Share Posted July 30, 2019 I've decided to retire my GTX 1060 as I got the version with only 3 GB VRAM and I'm not incredibly happy with it anymore. I'm looking for an upgrade and something around $400. I prefer NVIDIA because I like GeForce Experience and the ability to record and such with that program, but I am also open to trying AMD... Any suggestions/information would be much appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment

You've got good options in the flagship market on either side, either picking up a RTX 2070 Super, RX 5700 or RX 5700 XT. Radeon cards still allow you to record using Radeon ReLive in a much similar manner. If you decide to go the AMD route, aftermarket cards will be dropping in about 2 weeks, as only reference cards are available right now. I can hook you up with better Voltages and Clocks, as the stock cards seem to be way overvolted. 2 Link to comment

Reference cards are better binned (coming straight from AMD) but rely on a blower style cooler, pulling in air from your case, through the cards internal radiator, and shooting it right out the back of the card. Aftermarket cards will have different cooling solutions that may offer better overclocking performance or cooler ambient temps if you're interested. 1 Link to comment

Yeah one of the major complaints with the 5700 and 5700 xt were the noise/temps. I guess I'll wait til those new aftermarket cards come out. Thanks! 1 Link to comment

BoM Posted July 31, 2019 Content Count: 3150 Joined: 02/28/10 Status: Offline Share Posted July 31, 2019 Honestly if you can afford the extra 50-70 dollars get a 2060 super from one of the big names producing RTX cards rn (EVGA, MSI, ASUS). The stock 20 series from Nvidia have shit speeds and cooling compared to one from any of those companies. @Tyymunk 1 Link to comment
