Is the GTX still good nowadays for a cheap gaming card?

that would also be ok
but depends on OP's budget
1660 is mid-tier territory

I second this guy, also amd offers more ram 6vs8

I'm in the 200 quid range and am looking to upgrade my system. I'm not upgrading the ram as I've 8 gb though do you need gddr 4 ram for a 4gddr ram card?

Same here. I got a 2080 because I have disposable income burning a hole in my pocket and fell for the hype train. The only games I've been playing since my upgrade have been mountain blade warband, puyo puyo tetris, and emulating ff6. I should just return it desu.

1660ti for 1080p seems fine, not an amazing deal, not a bad one either.

That's a tad expensive though also don't need 6gb vram

regarding the rx 580: I did buy a 1660ti and it's giving me great performance, but I was also on the fence about the rx 580. Would that have been a better choice instead?
I play games at either 1080p or 1440p usually.

1660 Ti is literally the perfect 1080p budget card.

>Would that have been a better choice instead?
It solely depends on how much money you are willing to spend. The RX580 and 1660ti are different price classes

Can you fucks not google this shit for yourself

Give yourself a pat on the back user

200£ should get you a decent RX 580 and no, you don't need DDR4 for your system memory.

1660 Ti is vastly superior and costs like 60-80 bucks more. It's arguably the best bang for buck GPU out right now besides 570 and 2060. 580 is in a weird spot right now.

The problem with current GPUs is that they have been stagnant for over 2 years now and the 1660ti is no real improvement. Everything you buy now will become obsolete very fast due to the long stagnation.
7nm consoles will likely be released within 12 months and AMD and Nvidia GPUs will also shift to 7nm within that timeframe. Not to mention AMD is moving away from GCN in 2020/2021.

tl;dr don't expect any GPU you buy now to last you more than 2 years

THANK YOU BASED NVIDIA

pretty far from based, 1660ti probably a reaction after their "worst launch" and "slow rtx sales" and a 15% drop in shares in q4

>BASED

Are you fucking retarded?

Silicon chips are not made in a few months, they require years of planning and validation

>BUTTMAD AYYMDPOORFAGS WITH NO GPUS AND NO DRIVERS DETECTED

If you want bang for your buck you are still looking at RX570/580 or a good deal on a GTX 1060.
At $280+ street price the 1660ti is still priced very high for a midrange card. Prices should be closer to $200 than $300.

Its about a 100 bucks here, its an entire different price class, also this

2 shekels have been deposited into your account.

Do these types of cards help with video encoding?

It's almost like it's based on the same architecture

nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/geforce-rtx-streaming/

And you think Nvidia made it in a few months? It was already planned and fabbed months in advanced, it takes 3 months before a silicon wafer leaves the fab and it takes at least a few more weeks to be cut from wafer, sorted, tested and binned before being packaged

Fuck off if you're that retarded

You are exaggerating and misinterpreting things. Nvidia's stock dropped because of China's slowing economy. It has been going up for a month now.

cnbc.com/2019/01/29/chinas-slowing-economy-hits-companies-beyond-caterpillar-and-nvidia.html

Yeah you're right, they didn't have anything planned to redeem themselves, their shares or their own acclaimed "failed launch".

I'm sure this was all targeted to just get the vast majority of people who game are still using 960's to update to this card, that's it, user.

I'm probably going to upgrade from my 1060 6GB by Christmas, what's a good non-pricey card that's better than my current one?

Yeah, it was inflated due to crypto, I wasn't saying that was the sole reason for their Q4 fallout

dude you are retarded
The 1660 is the same architecture as RTX

New AMD cards should be out by then if you are interested. Also you wouldn't need to wait until maybe 3-4 months into 2020 for Geforce 30 to come out.

wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-rtx-20-sales-lower-than-expected-45-percent-revenue-decline/

Gaming GPU sales have dropped off a cliff in recent months. No new GPUs. No games worth upgrading for. RTX cards being no improvement over previous gen.

Expect prices to drop more since nobody will be buying the 1660ti either. Improvements are too minor over previous gen.

>by Christmas
Mid year AMD will probably release NAVI. Lets see how good it is.

It's about 2018. Old news. We are well into 2019.

Also in 2018 many other gaming companies had bad sales periods. PS4 sold less systems than ever before. None of this is solely Nvidia's fault no matter how much you guys want to pin it on them.

>hurr what is a Q4 report

What exactly in that post is wrong? Are you aware that Nvidia's stock have been shooting up for months?

and there is still no reason to buy a new GPU.
If you upgraded within the last 2 years there is nothing better to upgrade to. If you have an older system and didn't see a reason to upgrade in 2018 then the situation hasn't changed in 2019

>shooting up for months

Attached: CGPtv4x.png (169x175, 3K)

Well, you don't decide that. The people buying GPUs right now decide that.

Post this same thing next month.

user, nvidia themselves expect Q1 results to be up 2%.

Stop shilling for this company and cope

ore than enough if you have also a i7. I have a GTX960 4Gb and can run Resident Evil pretty well at 1080p. I would spend some money buying a SSD though, nowadays games run with some lag if they read stuff directly from the hard drive.

You'd be better off just getting a console.

2060 is a no brainer. Its more powerful and costs only 30$ more

>do you need gddr 4 ram for a 4gddr ram card?
The answer is between "what?" and "no."
Even the strongest CPU available for your motherboard is pretty weak by modern standards, and it probably isn't even near the one. You should save up and maybe get a used gaming system for around 400 at least

>only $30 more

>$274
>$349

Go with either a RTX or if radeon, go with Vega. All else is old shit that suck.

Also get a 4k monitor while you're at it.

Its ~349/ 319 in my country

If it's that much of a difference in your country, yeah no brainer at that point

If it's 1080p60fps then both of those cards will easily crush anything you throw at it, it doesn't really matter. Get the one which has better price/performance in your area.

Queue in the 4k is a meme responses.

>old shit that suck

1080ti is doing just fine

It came with it. Why isn't it any good it's 3 point something processor

Would a rx 580 be out of the q0uestion?

If you plan on just playing at a 1080p monitor, than the 580 is probably the best bang for your buck that can maximize all settings.

If you plan on playing on a 4k monitor, go with a RTX card.

Do not listen to this idiot, you NEED 144 FPS ultra max high settings at every resolution....

That means absolutely nothing.
Look up some benchmarks and you'll see why.

So would the AMD A8-7670K 3.6ghz 4-core not be able to handle the RX 580

Attached: l-992-me-after-gaming-for-15-hours-straight.jpg (700x700, 70K)

Nope

Entirely depends on your region then, I guess. Cheapest 1060 I can find is exactly 200€, RX 580 goes for around 190€, so 1660 Ti is 65€ more on average. Not trying to move goalposts here, but the 1660 Ti is much more capable especially when it comes to 1440p and Async compute titles. For me it'd be either a 570 for low-midrange, 1660 Ti for mid-midrange or 2060 for high-midrange. 580/1060 are in a bad spot in my opinion.

Then what would you recommend for that instead? I'm not well versed at this sort of thing

>A8-7670K
Fuck no, not even near. That CPU is VERY weak. Get a used GTX960 at max if you don't want to get a whole new system.

Sad but true

Next guess:
You're either from Latvia/Lithuania or the Balkans, probably Croatia.

Is buying used gpus ok or should I just buy new, because I need an upgrade to my gpu(still using a gtx 275) and I need something that can do dx11, but I don't want to shell out $300 1660 ti when Navi is coming out soon.

Also it has to be nvidia because I'm mainly going to play FFXIV and that has nvidia only features that make the game better.

From the other thread I heard you need a very good CPU to achieve 144hz
What is the best one to get now?

Would a gtx 960 be good?

Poland (close enough)

Jesus user, Im from Argentina and one is worth 1/3 of my salary

I thought Poland was better off honestly.
What do you do?

Why would it not be ok? Just get like some used gtx 760 for ~$50 if your CPU can handle it
Mostly yeah. It's pretty cheap in the used market nowadays. But if you play games that are heavy on the CPU there will be some serious bottlenecking.

You will be CPU limited in the vast majority of games. Get something old and used off ebay or save your money for a completely new system in the summer when the new CPUs come out.

If your power supply is halfway decent you could fit a HD 7950 or 7970.

Not him, but I bought 1080 a year ago working as basic bitch programmer.
all you have to do is to never move out from parents

I've never bought a used gpu before and I was worried if I was going to get ripped off or not.

Also, I'm not sure if there is something better than a 760 for under $100 that isn't some chink rip off.

Bought a cheap 1070ti.overclocked it. Never looked back

Hotel receptionist here mate. About 520 euros per month. However, I overlooked one simple thing that those brand new cards are ridiculously expensive in my country. When I checked amazon or ebay market the prices there were much more affordable for my wallet.

To that user from the previous thread claiming i7 > i5 all the time:
8th gen i5s ARE better than 7th gen i7s.
i5 8400 is on-par with a i7 7700k, and a 8600k is superior to a 7700k in every way.

Just look up some benchmarks and protip: 6c6t > 4c8t

Attached: missing-image.png (600x807, 142K)

gtx 1060 or anything above is worth buying

correct, but since nvidia doesnt produce those anymore, the only alternative is AMD 580 or nvidia 2k series which are overpriced

That's what I do.
Pepik here, making 2000€ brutto.

Anyone wanna send me their GTX? My 780 is dying and I can't play games for more than an hour anymore

Is there something I'm missing? Why are people recommending the RX 570? That thing performs almost the same as my five years old 970 gtx.

Nowadays, the only GPUs I'd recommend, in order of least to most performance:
RX 570, RX 580, GTX 1660 ti, RTX 2060.

I'm looking to buy a 2060, but prices here in Brazil are, as always, sort of fucked (~1800 BRL = 480 USD).

It's actually worse by quite a bit in some cases, but it's price/performance is really good, better than the 1050 ti, anyways.

Just got a $350 Vega 56 as an upgrade to my GTX 670. Was also eyeballing a $200 580, but figured the jump was worth it. Came with a few games too.

You can have my 670 for the cost of shipping to hold you over.

The turing RTX cards are big failures, the consumers have realized the price is not worth the awful performance of raytracing that halves your frames, and the performance improvement over the 1080/ti is just not worth upgrading over. Nvidia will probably have to come back with a true successor to the 1080 ditching the shitty raytracing cores and focusing on performnance instead of gimmicky tech that cannot be applied to games without a massive performance loss.

Why hasn't the gtx 1060 gone down in price yet when the 1660 ti exist?

Because it's $150
Obviously people who can afford a high end card shouldn't get it but if your budget is limited it's arguably the best option around

because that's still good performance and you can pick one up for $130 new with some bundled games. The games are shit but never mind that.

I like my 2080 Ti though.

Attached: speccy_newestest.png (833x597, 45K)

Why would you even upgrade? I play on a midrange craptop from 2011 and there are no games I'd like to play which don't run on it.

> Came with a few games too.

enjoy your division 2 and RE2

Don't forget DMCV

And DMC5. Don't really care about the Division, but I'll play the other two.

Could be worse, the rtx 2060 cost around 600 USD in Argentina.
I'll stick with the 970 for a while longer, I was having frames drops on almost all new games until I started installing them on my SSD, apparently storage speed does make a difference.

I jest about the begging user, I'm a third world shitter anyway. Thanks though, will just have to take up another hobby til I can afford a new one.

>you NEED 144 FPS ultra max high settings at every resolution....

The funny thing is that most pc gamers don't even have a gaming monitor that can output over 60 hertz.

the division is actually pretty good for a loot shooter. Just ignore the haters on Yea Forums. Give it a try once it's out.

What do you think about curved monitors, Yea Forums? I was eyeballing the Samsung one here because it has HDR and Freesync 2, plus better colors. My friends talked me down to the Dell because the curve is supposedly shit, and it has a TN panel instead of VA. I didn't care that it was curved initially, is it really that shit?

the only good curved monitors are the ultra wide ones. Those make a difference. The regular wide screen ones are really no different than a straight wide screen except it has a larger price tag just because it's curved.

Would anyone recommend a GT 710 or something similar?

Why do people think anything more than a 1660ti is needed for VR? First you have asynchronous reprojection, motion smoothing, brainwarp, etc. Also, the 1660ti is Turing and has all the major VR tech that will come into play in the future, like variable rate shading and foveated rendering. Once we get a proper eye tracking headset this card will shine. Foveated rendering will decrease resolution requirements by an order of magnitude! RTX is a meme.

fuck no.

I really want to see this in effect.
If it actually works as it should, VR games will be higher fidelity for the same hardware than regular gaming, which would actually be a very compelling reason to go into VR.

Not this thread specifically, but most VRfags claim one must have either a 2070 or 2080 or they won't run anything well
Yeah, it will be top comfy as long as we stick to PC hardware and not standalone mobile headsets.

user, the only thing VR is good for is porn. All the games VR has currently is crap. No actual gamer plays VR games.

I could say there are at least a few horror games that are already great in VR, like RE7. A lot of VR is just tech demos but some still look fun.

RE7
RDR2
Tetris Effect

yeah I'm thinking it's back

>as long as we stick to PC hardware and not standalone mobile headsets.
Man, standalone headsets are the most worthless things ever to own.
They are only ever useful for one time only experiences.

If I buy a rx570, whats a good cpu to compensate the money I am not wasting on a 1060, in other words, whats a good cpu for the money?

ryzen 1800x should be a fine CPU for everything currently without breaking your bank.

just buy a 1070 you idiots

actually it's pretty useful for simracing but yeah all VR "Games" are fucking trash and not worth the hard drive space.

> just buy a 1070 you idiots

there's barely any new stock of that card anywhere. And if there is, it's way overpriced. You might as well get a Vega 56.

>2080ti with 1080p and 1440p 60 hz

lol

I'm still using an i5 4670k and GTX1070.
Which should I upgrade first? Kinda struggling with 1440p 60fps in modern games.

upgrade both at the same time because processor and gpu rely on each other. One can bottleneck the other.

Is 1080p still passable for PC gaming?

I can't afford to upgrade to 1440p/4k right now.

1080p is fine since you can go for 144hz with relatively cheap hardware. 144fps is great for shooters.

what the fuck are you doing nigger, also get a SSD

Not him but never used an SSD in my life, but about to buy the Samsung 970 Evo Plus, how much difference does an SSD make?

Here. I chose the RTX 2080 over a 1660 TI / 1080 simply because it was cheaper with marginal differences, and came with Anthem, BFV, and Exodus.

huge difference in loading times, NVMe ones are very expensive right now and they don't make as big of a difference compared to SATA SSDs, if you compare a SATA SSD to a HDD, try checking SSD vs HDD loading times in games and shit and you'll see it's worth it. Also your boot times will be negligible when the OS is on a SSD. It's just real sweet to have much shorter loading times overall.

>Anthem, BFV, and Exodus
Two of those games are shit and you can pirate the 3rd since they sold out to Epic.

2080 cheaper than 1660ti? u wot

Literally night and day.

I'll get one in time. Not trying to blow too much money at once.

Also, just future proofing with the RAM. When I built this PC in 2007, it had 4GB RAM. I didn't upgrade to 8 until 2014.

>I chose the RTX 2080 over a 1660 TI / 1080 simply because it was cheaper
What?

Retard, stfu & get an SSD

nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/apex-legends-game-ready-driver/

And I got all 3 for free, so.

I was thinking of another card I guess. I spent all afternoon comparing specs yesterday before placing my order.

see youtube.com/watch?v=OjWUGsQNSvE

that's a NVMe SSD vs SATA SSD, vs SSHD (HDDs that have a SSD hybrid) vs a HDD, HDDs have literally double the loading times in GTAV, from what I heard it also drastically reduces the time it takes to switch characters for example, I guess all that depends on how much do you play games where loading is a common ocurrence. Now the difference between SATA SSD and NVMe m.2 SSD is 1 second, negligible given how much more expensive the NVMe ones cost

Aside from bottlenecking your RAM with a CPU that only supports up to 2400, it's not terrible.

why that board over the b450 tomahawk?

i once like this user.

go with vega 56 instead of 1660 ti. Should be around same pricing but better performance on the vega.

/g/ told me, I don't know much about motherboards but I assumed it didn't matter much

It's not terrible. RAM is overkill, PSU is a bit much for what you're putting in, and the CPU isn't the best for the price, but you'll still have a solid system. Do you plan on OC'ing? I assume not seeing as there's a lack of a heatsink fan / cooling system included.

Also whats your monitor? Considering you haven't upgraded since 2007 you probably dont have a monitor even strong enough to utilize a 2080.

I have a Dell monitor that I got from a buddy. 3840 x 1600. It's one of those $900 monitors that his company wrote off as a loss, but it turned out to be perfectly fine (exterior box was damaged and his supe didn't even check the monitor).

yes. Defrag your SSD often for maximum performance and longevity.

use PC part picker/User Benchmark and stop being so incompetent yourself.

understanding PC parts is easy and for the most part only takes like 10 minutes of research to understand the basics

>company monitor
whats the refresh rate on it?

refresh rate is the most important thing when it comes to gaming not luxury resolutions past 1080p.

Even doing that, games being over 40GB are becoming quite common, Metro Exodus requires 59GB, Final Fantasy XV needs 100GB, your OS will probably take around 20-30GB already, DMC5 is asking for 35GB, Divinity Original Sin 2 needs 60GB. It's rather easy to fill a 128GB SSD with games alone + OS today. Jap devs are doing better on compressing and stuff, Sekiro will need only 26GB, Resident Evil 2 remake needs 35GB

>hoarding games
But you can't even install 3 60GB games on that puny SSD, having 3 games on it is hardly hoarding. I mean shit, you can't probably install 2 of them given how the OS takes a lot of space.

>5ms

Bruh. That's the response time. I'm assuming these likely cap at a standard rate of 55 or 60Hz seeing as how I can't find it listed anywhere personally.

>being this retarded.

Even with less memory the Ti can outperform that trash.

So yes, the GTX still gud

Stick to your next-gen speculation thread you deluded retard

Just googled, 60Hz.

Kind of a shame seeing as how your new setup can easily blast games at 100+ FPS.

>Native Resolution

thats response time not Refresh rate ya silly billy.
that fuckers only got 60Hz refresh rate.

you need at LEAST 144hz nowadays my man.
thats why you need to make sure you buy "gaming" monitors and not normal "home/office" ones.

I got it for free, so I'm not complaining. It's amazing for doing design work. Color matching is fucking ACE.

Yeah there are some ultrawide curved monitors that go for 120hz refresh rate, like the Acer Predator X34-P, lower resolution than your monitor but it doesn't seem bad.

Im never really "into" more than three games at a time anyway (usually multiplayer) so that kind of system it works for me.

sure if OP is the kinda dude that NEEDS to download and play every new triple A title then by all means go ahead and cough up the extra $$$ for that TB instead.

Even being just singleplayer games, some of those could be lengthy and one might want to take a break and play something else instead of having to finish every game to uninstall it then you can install another game. if devs went full retard like Squeenix did with FFXV that needs 100GB of space, you can't even use that SSD for it.

i might get a 2070 or 2060 this weekend. i can tell you have no idea what you're doing.

I mean its a good monitor.
just not good for gaming and not really making the most out of your new monster computer.

you bought all that power but its gonna remain all for naught if you keep your current setup as is like buying a sportscar for a 25 Speedlimit neighborhood.

So basically the takeaway from this thread should be

-Get a higher refresh rate monitor
-get a SSD and install your OS onto that instead of the HDD

you do these two things and you are gonna have a "holyshit" plato experience especially if you play graphic intensive shooters.

>all that power
>4c4t processor

to add you should probably keep your second monitor around just for like watching Twitch or lurking Yea Forums during gaming sessions

you dont actually have to toss it out or sell it.

Hell no. A 2060 is just $40 more

because the AMD cards eat up CPU cycles due to heavy driver overhead so unless you have a super overpowered $500 CPU you'll be getting choppy performance. it's not a bug, it's a feature.

we already mentioned that his processor choice was retarded but its one he could easily fix.

send back the i5 or sell it and instead get a i7 or something. Pretty sure that Mobo supports 7th gen.

>don't need 6gb vram
lmao this nigga

Is $180 for an RX 580 a good price?

it's a seagate though so 50% of the drives will be dead in 2 years.

>tfw 16 gb ram and it's not enough. shit often gets maxed out and moved to page file, slowing everything down to a crawl.
>modded bethesda games skyrocket past 10 gb then crash.
>windows doesn't purge ram out of unused cache, so it's routinely 100% in use.

ignorant poorfags should stick to consoles

Everything above the RX 580 is shit right now for price/performance ratio

>590 is overclocked 580
>Vega 64 consumes too much power & is overpriced for it's 2016 GTX 1080 level performance
>1160 is a bit overpriced but most importantly lacks VRAM, 6GB in 2019 is a joke
>RTX line are disgustingly overpriced, you are paying for the ray tracing tech that only 2 games use

I wish Nvidia didn't phase out the 1070/1080/Ti, they have stock piles of them but decided not to sell them anymore because people would purchase them over the RTX line

Attached: g455.jpg (350x350, 30K)

GPU bottleneck literally doesn't matter. Sometimes there aren't even a graphics card which can cap out your CPU.

>the GTX

sure user just get a GTX Titan Z, cheap gaming yo

Memes aside, is the 580 worth it? or should I just stick with saving up for a 1070/1080, I don't really know because if I go with the latter I will have to save money to buy a cpu that can handle the hardware.

AMD is never worth it.

>6GB in 2019 is a joke
Is it though? I have a 1070 and don't hit that 8gb, at least while playing at 1440p

what do you mean passable, who are you trying to impress? if you can play the games at decent settings who cares?

Worth getting RX580? I usually buy a brand new PC every 5-6 years but my rig still serves me fine outside some games.

Attached: 1.png (538x219, 50K)

1440p is nice but nowhere near as good as the jump from SD to HD. 4k is kinda a meme on a monitor.

>playing bethesdashit
it's your fault really

I wouldn't get the 580. Either wait for Navi FUCKING AMD or just get a used 1070 for around the same price. That's what I did and aside from a bit of dust I couldn't be happier

580 is cheaper and on par with the 1060, 570 is similarely priced to the 1050ti, but much stronger

Dude what. 16 is plenty in the current year of our lord

A RX 580 would be a good fit yeah.
If your motherboard ain't shit, Id also upgrade that CPU.

not if you have 2 browsers open with multiple tabs while also playing vidya.

580 is a very good choice and you'll have great performance, the only reason I don't go AMD is emulation (opengl), but that problem should disappear as everything embraces vulkan.

I do this all the time and never reach 10.
Unless you have literally 50 tabs I have no idea how you are saturating 16 let alone 32

Thanks anons. Just ordered one.

around 30 in one, about 20 in another right now. down to below 6 gigs free ram.

why the fuck do you need so many tabs open while playing games?

i don't want to close them to play the game, then reopen them again. it's not as bad now, i used to have over 80 in the past. i need to clean that out eventually.

what the fuuuuck nigger what exactly do you have on 80 tabs? are you using chrome or firefox?

lmao retard

Is the Toyota still good nowadays for a cheap car?

two browsers. firefox and a chrome derived vivaldi. it's mostly shit i intend to watch/read/etc later so i leave it in the background. then if i don't return to them after a while i go "i ain't gonna watch those after all" and close them.

Why don't you use bookmarks like a normal human being?

I guarantee he is a hoarder IRL, with cups and fast food bags stacked like towers in his room.

That TV show about massive hoarders gives me chills, I've been throwing old shit often because of it lately

I still use a GTX 670.

Attached: 1540145715765.jpg (453x465, 27K)

i do. stuff that goes into bookmarks may as well be closed. i don't remember what i put there.

closer to minimalist than hoarder. i just have an increasingly failing memory, i don't remember what i put into bookmarks.

^1080 performance for lower price

Same! Your gf is hot

Yeah but at this point buy one of the newest gtx cards that were released instead of a 1060. Either that or get something that has 1070 performance or above from amd or jewvidia

>RTX 2080 Ti in 2019
But it can't out put 4k at 144FPS on ultra consistently.

A 6GBs 1060 will still do the work considering what you want is 1080p/60fps (for the most part) that being said it is slowly being phased out. A 1070 or a 1660ti are what I recommend now. Heck if you have ryzen just go with what said.

Is 144hz that important if you don't play FPS games?
I'm using a 60hz monitor right now because I can't afford a 144hz IPS (need nice color reproduction to watch anime).

Same.

Attached: 1469571836783.png (397x297, 108K)

>1080ti is doing just fine
They are getting harder to find. Good thing I got mines right before RTX 2080ti was release.

It's not even that important even if you do play fps

I built my first gaming pc since 2004 with an r5 2600 and rx 580 and I couldn't be any more satisfied. I highly recommend this combo, I've been playing everything on ultra, 60fps, 4k or 1440-1080p on heavier titles.

The only thing I'm struggling with though is BOTW on Cemu(haven't tried other titles) but I'm able to play Demon's Souls on RPCS3 at 6k internal resolution so that's a trade off I guess.

>6k internal resolution
was the game even made for that? lmao

>tfw i managed to snag a 1080 before Nvidia exodia'd them

Attached: 1551717338882.png (1000x1254, 339K)

No but it looks sharp and clean af. It's downsampled to 4k though since obviously I don't have a 6k display but it's still sharper than 4k. GPU usage goes from 88 to 95% on that resolution, anything more and I start getting stuttering.

>build a $1500 gaming rig
>only play visual novels and gacha games that are so low requirement they can be played on phones
>install graphics intensive game and mods just to marvel at the graphics then uninstall few hours later
>shitpost on Yea Forums on ultrawide

Literally what the fuck is wrong with me?

>its another VRAM is the sole indicator of performance
you're a fucking idiot if you think this is the only thing that matters in a card

Attached: 2rdkbw.png (205x246, 4K)

yes

This is why I went with a mid range budget build. The only graphics intensive game I'm playing are GR Wildlands and Dragon's Dogma with ENB and ultra settings at 1440p. Most of the time I'm playing magic arena, emulating old games or playing vns and shitposting on Yea Forums.

the official MSRP is only $40 difference. of course price will fluctuate depending on supply but if you can find a 1660ti for $274 then it wouldn't be surprising to find a 2060 in the ballpark of $320

Eh, you guys could be worse off, considering how fucking old that GPU is.

Attached: not bad.jpg (1121x687, 114K)

Why don't you actually try responding to some of the posts here with your arguments then?

I had the same problem with my RX480 and grabbed a 1080, since cemu runs fucking great at 144060fps with the mod.
I have a R1600 at 3.8 too so it's not CPU, AMDs opengl implementation on windows is really bad and after 5 CONSECUTIVE AMD CARDS that was the only problem I ever had so don't feel too bad.

Who else waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 specs to drop before they upgrade?
