Also it's worth mentioning the sales I have linked above are limited and I will have to re-find them if the prices goes stale so you will want to make your decision soon. | |
| Jan 2, 2020 at 21:00 | comment | added | Bennett Yeo | The 1660 Ti is significantly worse than the non Super 2070 so a bit worse is incorrect. The 1660 Ti are intended to be budget friendly GPUs and are something I might have recommended if your budget range was lower and I was trying to get the most mileage out of your budget. The GPUs I recommended above are better if you intend to self-build a new computer in the coming years and want a longer lifespan (performance wise). | |
| Jan 2, 2020 at 20:50 | comment | added | yuvi | @BennetYeo Last question - I've gotten another recommendation for the GTX 1660TI which is newer, way cheaper and like a bit worse graphics than the 2070 (but it's still super good). As I've said, that budget is for the possible entire upgrade, I do have to consider budget even though I'm willing to invest in a good card | |

The extent that cpu bottle necking has on your in-game performance depends on how much the game relies on GPU optimized code and hardware acceleration. Your budget is quite friendly to the top ranked 20 GPUs so I decided to maximize it since these GPUs are a great fit for future CPU upgrades and will perform well despite your CPU setup. Those product superlatives are essentially meaningless beyond identifying specific originating purveyors, you need not worry about this. | |
| Dec 31, 2019 at 15:57 | comment | added | yuvi | Also, searching Amazon I find this product appearing with some other superlatives like "Armor" or "Nvlink" "Ventus" "Twin-Frozr" - what the hell does any of it mean? Is any of it relevant for me? I'm so confused | |
| Dec 31, 2019 at 15:52 | comment | added | yuvi | You say the CPU will not bottleneck but every google search for the combination of the new card and the CPU results in people arguing it does bottleneck (even a video showing the combination says that it does). I dunno, I'll probably buy it anyway and eventaully upgrade the whole system, I'm just wondering. | |
