Graphic Card upgrade

hi,
i would like to hear your opinion about buying an RTX 2060 Super to replace my 1060 6GB since i moved to a 144Hz 2k monitor, the plan was actually to get the 30xx series but seeing the economy problem in the country i was thinking if it's worth getting the RTX 2060 super from macrotronics it's currently listed for 1,960,200 LBP, while the RTX 2070Super is listed for 1,960,200 LBP.
So do you think buying an RTX 2060 super for that price to replace a GTX 1060 6GB worth it or should i keep saving and get an RTX 3070 ?
thanks in advance.

Re: Graphic Card upgrade

Waiting is pain in the ass game in tech , sure any sucessor will be better in such trend wait and wait and never ending wait.

Ampere will be announed in August ( till now) and will be released in September , to arrive here to to ship from Amazon - October ETA ( ~ 6 months from now) if Nvidia kept on its pre set  schedule and did not change due corona outbreak. Lunching DLSS 2.0 is a smart move by Nvidia as a plan B or to shfit gears any time.

5-6 Months for now , considering the economic crises here ( capital control , devaluation of the currency , and gloomy coming days) .. Any upcoming tech will be insanely priced to be in your doorsteps ( as inflation trend is exponential). Therefore 5-6 months from now a 2 Million LBP will bring a 2060 non super.

For QHD 144hz I recommend an RTX 2070 Super ,

On Many 2020 Titles and Upcoming 2021 AAA titles of your want to play very high - Ultra settings with Anti Alaising , since QHD needs AA ( not the shitty FXAA ,  at lease 2x MSAA . The 1080ti is not sufficient for 144hz at QHD.

Here is a Glimpse

I used to have an 1080ti Strix heavily OC'd to 2000mhz Core and memory OC'D to 11 Ghz using a PG 279Q , 1080ti started to be lagging in 2020 titles at 144hz.

Your best bet is a 2070 Super ,  you will have a much more future proof ROI investment.

Support of the Upcoming Dirext X 12 Ultimate ,  which will boost rasterized perfromance using variable rate and mesh shading

DLSS 2.0 Support using its tensor cores

Better old fashioned rasterized rendering performance

Lower lag using HDR 10 gaming , dedicated hardware for HDR bitmapping that Maxwell relied on software ( more latency)

The MSI Gaming X Geforce RTX 2060 Super 8GB GDDR6 at Macrotronics is 1,412,100 LBP. THe 2070 Super is 1,960,200 LBP. The difference is hence 548,100 or 39%.

Now based on TechPowerup's review of the MSI Gaming X Geforce RTX 2060 Super 8GB GDDR6, the GTX 2060 Super is 47% faster than the 1060 6GB at 1080p. In terms of performance per dollar, the 1060 6GB is 5% better than the 2060 Super.

From TechPowerup again, the MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Super Gaming X Trio Review is 16% faster than the 2060 and 53% faster than your 1060. In terms of performance per dollar, the 2060 is 8% better than the 2070 and the 1060 is 15% better than the 2070.

If you are saving in LBP, I would get the 2060 now since the 2070 is 39% more expensive but only offers a 16% gain in performance over the 2060. I say this because if you wait longer to save for the 2070, with the rate the currency is devaluating at, it will cost you way more then to buy the 2070.

If you are saving in USD, and want the extra 16% performance gain over the 2060, then keep saving and buy it when you have the money.
