tech spec reqs and upgrade

[Gen Greavous]

Hello, so i currently have a 1660S, poor old things starting to struggle and my next big game (space marine 2) it barely hit minimum reqs.
so i was thinking of an upgrade, my friend has a 4060 and says its good enough for what i play and sm2 but i was looking more into a 4070S for the longevity, any reason i shouldnt bother other than price? also should i expect a decent sale in the amazon july sale?

Probably go for a 4070s for longevity if your current card is starting to struggle. Either way it'll be an upgrade but y'know. Tiny bit
Of course, it depends on if you can afford it comfortably

If possible, I'd possibly recommend a GTX 1660 TI, I've found I've been able to play most new releases on medium graphics minimum at 1080p with it though

As for the Amazon sale, probably?

i cant say id expect the 1660 TI to play sm2 on high or ultra, obviously cost is a factor or id just but a 4090 s/ti/whatever, buying the 4070S currently theyre £550 im hoping they might drop to closer to £400 but even if they dont i can get it id jsut want it to last 4/5 years like this 1660s has.

if it wont last another 4/5 years for the price/power difference between the 4060 (£284) ill just get that instead. im expecting the extra 4gb ram to let it hold out an extra year before ill reach this point again.

Oh yeah, the 1660TI is nearing its end of life, should be considered a full low grade in about. 4-6 years I'd say? I'm able to play HD2 on medium graphics pretty solidly with it for example. Possibly high? I'm unsure as I toned it down due to the performance issues the game faced before the Automaton invasion. But I don't expect ultra got Space Marine 2

But yeah, the extra RAM should be able to help a wee bit. I'd invest in the 4070 if you can afford it easily. It should last you about 10 or so years as well

Do not waste money for 4060/4060ti (xx60/xx50 are known as cheap knockoffs from nvidia to fill a market and as owner of 3060 I can fully understand why, 'cheap' is not by price but by performance). Buy 4070 or 4070ti, no need for super one (kinda meh as money value that 'super'). If you have money for 4070ti and a little more then only 4080. Tight on money then only 4070 (or if you find very very very cheap 3060 12gb/3060ti and really really short on money, but all 3060 outdated now for sure and as I said I can recommend it only as placeholder for being poor rn). 4070ti close to 4080 but due limited bandwidth and memory size it cannot be as good as 4080. Dunno about amd ones.

I'd for sure say 4070 Ti Super, the super don't cost much more but are quite a lot better.

But if you're on a tight budget I'd buy a used 4070 ti .

if you have to use Nvidia that is, or you can get more for less with an AMD

ok so aiming abit higher if i can, also ive had too many bad experiences with AMD gfx cards to go back, only 1 out of the 5 ive ever had didnt give me constant problems, mainly the drivers.

I didn't actually see the post above mine, guess they posted while I was typing cause I did forget about the thread for a little while after I started typing my response.

But the 4Gb extra between a Super and a normal 4070 Ti is quite a lot better, look at the benchmarks.

But yeah, I wouldn't really buy a 50 or 60 of any card unless I just "had to have the newest series as soon as they come out" in general the previous 70 version is quite a bit better then the new 50 or 60.

The 90's are usually not worth the cost either since they tend to not add enough to warrant the extra 3-700 euro/dollars, the 80's or the S versions tend to be the best bang for the buck even if the 80's are also a bit overpriced a lot of the time (for the first year or so).
