rtx 2060 with I5 7600k

[ShawarmaTank]

i want to buy a rtx 2060, if i do so will my cpu keep up or i will have to buy a new 1?

[Cathulhu]

That won't be a problem.

[ShawarmaTank]

Thanks for the reapond! ill wait for more responds, thanks!

That CPU will not bottleneck the RTX 2060. So you are fine.

[JIGGY]

Did you end up getting the 2060? I have the same CPU and I'm looking into getting a 2060 myself.

i would go for Vega 64 or Radeon V, much better than nvidia cards

[Cathulhu]

No such thing as a Radeon V. And the Vega 64 is barely on par with a 2060 while drawing more power and not having stuff like DLSS or RTX effects.

If nVidia is so bad, why is 75% of the Steam users having them in their PC?

14% running AMD and the last 10% running Intel videochips.
Yes, AMD videocards are only 50% higher than those running on integrated videochips!
Three out of four users are using nVidia. They may be expensive, but they provide the best performance and aren't such power hungry hogs.

if nvidia was good console makers wouldn't use AMD. both CPU and GPU. they used AMD when AMD wasn't as good as now, today they are on par and better than nvidia and Intel.

nvidia game works, hair works, physics, all depreciated tech that are destined to die. DMC 5, RE2, Division 2 and many more to come are all optimized with AMD cards as well. but shady games like metro use rtx and only 1% of players of metro can use that technology, it's not even a big difference, 99% of others on console or PC don't use it and don't miss it. that's why nvidia had to come up with different cards that don't have useless tensor cores lol

Not Radeon V, it's VII or 7. 16GB HBM2

Consoles use AMD because it's the cheaper budget option. There's no other reason. No seriously stop. No other reason.

[Cathulhu]

What does the RAM size have to do with the difference in power draw? The draw needed to power the RAM is negligible. You are discrediting yourself with statements like that.
300 Watt for the Radeon VII vs 230 Watt for the RTX 2070 which it competes with.
That is a difference of 70 Watt for about the same performance in games (depends on the game).
Never ever is it the RAM causing that difference.
If you have no idea what you are talking about, maybe you should inform yourself before you enter a discussion.

I like AMD, especially their CPUs. But their videocards are still woefully inadequate to compete with nVidia and the Radeon VII was pretty much a disappointment. It isn't cheaper, faster or more efficient than the card it is supposed to compete with.

no other reason? lol you seem so sure like you're the Microsoft ceo. you said that for yourself ;)

I'm pretty sure. They only have 2 options. If they don't pick one of those they're foolish.

Like others said they could've picked Nvidia but it would've been more expensive. And better. Proportionally better by Price per Performance or how ever you want to measure it? Probably not.

Just because you don't agree that you should have to pay that much for slight performance boosts doesn't mean that's how it should be. Our economy doesn't scale like that for anything, especially tech. Just take cars for example, you'll pay ALOT more for those final HPs... performance is expensive at the highest levels.

X one X is good, I have one, but it could be better, and the most demanding games STRUGGLE ON IT. So it needs more. AMD is not enough. The End.

The 2080Ti is down to around 1100 bucks here in Germany.
The Radeon VII is 800. So no, 2 Radeon VIIs are not a better investment then a single 2080 Ti.
Also barely any game supports Crossfire/SLI nowadays.
Dual cards are a complete waste of money.
And if you want the strongest single chip GPU the only option is NIVIDIA.
This is just fact.


ALSO, the RTX 2080 is already better then the Radeon VII. Its beats it by an average 15% in gaming benchmarks. The RTX 2080 is down to 650 here, i should know, i just bought one.
So its better AND cheaper then the Radeon VII.

1. you forgot the double memory capacity. (this one alone can end your argument but i keep continue)
2. 2080 ti is priced around 1500$ by a quick google search.
3. i dont care about germany lol
4. Radeon VII is priced 700-750$
5. benchmakrs are done on games in favor of nvidia.

Soo... how is that tinfoil hat? Sitting too tight? Getting enough air up there?
Basically you just make stuff up to suit your arguments and ignore things that does not.
Got you.
Have fun discussing, i have better things to do.

Once upon a time people would buy GPUs based on performance and not "AMD vs. Nvidia" like what money goes in their pocket is suddenly a plus on your bank account.

Tons of individuals have benchmarks showcasing better performance on RTX 2080 Ti when compared to Radeon VII. It was a disappointment.

Ridiculous to brown nose a company, and then attempt to refuse benchmarks because anything that doesn't tickle your fancy must have been paid off by the rival company.

Also, while to echo dual-GPU being a bad option in terms of gaming for the most part,

The only reason consoles use AMD is because Nvidia don't make APU's anymore.

it's not my fault, nvidia done this before, by making devs using their technologies so the game performs poorly on the other brand, blame nvidia, not me.

and nope it wasn't a disappointment, you're comparing a 700$ card with a 1500$ one.
Radeon Vii is not better than 2080TI but it's definitely better than 2080 or equal.

AMD does the same thing. Remember TressFX for the 10 seconds it was relevant?
