I will wait till the next gen, with proper HDMI 2.1 output, so I can get along with an 8K TV with HDMI 2.1. Both types of product should be on the market later this year.

Was just on a for sale subforum and a used AMD RX 580 8GB was selling for $125 shipped. If you still game at 1080P you cannot beat that. Whether is was used for mining or not.

Nvidia raises the prices on every new generation despite so many claims to the contrary. Each new generation will be more expensive than the last and I have no reason to believe that will not continue without exception.
Still using a i7-6700k and a Strix 1070OC myself. Still getting UFO on userbenchmark.com
Like Al says.....Good enough for now.

I second that thought.
No need to spend a ton of money when you can game just fine on older and cheaper hardware.
Its the suckers that buy the new stuff.
Notice how they omit the 1080p results. I have a 1080gtx and still prefer to game at 1080p.
even the gtx 970 does just fine in 1080p. No need to update just because they slant the reviews as if you have to game at a rez so high it gets sluggish. All done to sell cards. Scumbags I say.

Vega56 Sapphire Pulse is £280 ($368) in UK.
Decent 1660ti's are around £270 ($355)
Decent 2060's are around £350 ($460)
Think I'll go Vega to replace my 280x at the end of March, if those prices still hold. Don't really want to go north of £300 ($400)

VEGA 56 Damn 283$ brand new on Amazon with prime. OC edition destroys the 1660 TI at this value. A free trial of prime, buy a month or make a new amazon acc for a free trial still makes this the best option for under 300$.

I'm a Nvidia fan but math is math.
EDIT: Crossfire\SLI can be a pain to setup and works on about 50-70% of games.
p.s. If you do not mind crossfire or sli. Go with 2x 2060 or 2x vega 64 for around 700$ and get higher performance then the 2080 ti (1200$).
p.s.s. The 400+ should say under 400. Or idk 300-500.

RTX 2070 might not be the best buy for current state of gaming. But for someone that only replaces GPU for ever 4~5 years its more future proof than rtx 2060. ...why ? ... 8GB VRAM, has been tested that 8gb vram is recomended for new / future titles.
if nvidia released a RTX 2060 with 8GB VRAM would be much smart buy.
in 2019 going for GPU with less than 8gb vram is for people is replacing GPU every 2years max.
Im upgrading from gtx 960 to rtx 2070 ( I made a great deal with someone that is replacing it for a 2080ti)

I would not recommend SLI or Crossfire anymore. Fewer and fewer games support it and those that do don't work well enough. You also need beefy PSU with plenty of PCIe cables on separate rails, etc.
the RX 580 is loads better the the 3GB and slow 512MB 970 lol, but yes not worth upgrading yet...
Plus there is no official support for SLI with the 2060 and once you start hacking things together to "make it work" things can only get worse.
I'm finding that only about half or slightly more of the games I play/try have any visible improvement from SLI. A decent percentage have no scaling at all and a couple titles even have negative scaling. Sometimes to get past the negative scaling you have to do silly things like disable SLI at a system level versus just telling the exe to use one GPU.
If you have $100 to spend find a used 8gb rx480 (I got mine for $85 shipped on Ebay a few months ago)
If you have a $200 to spend find a used 1070 (I got one on craigslist for$220 in September)
Never had any issues going second hand. I would suggest a re-paste and deep clean on an older card though. Take it apart, use a paint brush to thoroughly clean the pcb and heatsink, re-paste and game on!

£350 can now buy you a vega 64 with a custom cooler and with 2 free games and yet people dont buy because it isnt nvidia.
The mind share nvidia has is totally baffling.

I bought a liquid cooled EVGA 2080Ti.
Computer runs damn near silently even when gaming over 2 hours.
My electric bill is up $4 but that's probably more likely due to my liquid cooled i9Extreme.

I bought mt 2080 Ti for 999 a couple months ago! thats a steal compared to some of the prices I have seen even for my exact model. The fact that I will have this card for 4 or more years its a good deal.

Vega 56 can be had for under $300. That card is simply undervalued in this article and basically shoved aside for not apparent reason. "AMD's Vega 56 is hit or miss depending on the offer you get" is something that can be said about any card at any given point.
At 1080p the 970 is doing the job really well indeed.

That 2080ti is 3 times more powerful and 4 times more expensive than my 1060 6gb ? There is something wrong with this picture.
If it would've been like 700-800-900 bucks I'd have gotten it in an instant. It's not a money problem, it's the principle that maters....I will not trade my time for something that's not priced accordingly.
Giving money for free, to enrich other people is not my purpose in life.

Don't buy 'just because', i7 960+980Ti or Vega 56 still handles 1080p fantastically, and even 2560x1440/3440x1440 quite well. If the games you play feel smooth, that's what matters, not that there is something newer and faster.

Not sure if you are joking here but my 970 has 4GB, not 512MB...
