I'm in the market for a new graphics card - I believe that the RTX 2060 family is the one to go for, but would appreciate any advice/experience - there seem to be millions of versions, all with pretty small variations. Pictured is the ASUS one I am thinking of. |

I feel like we're sort of at the point where the curve levels out for graphics improvements. Chip manufacturers/programmers are either artificially staggering new stuff, or they're struggling to find efficient new ways of actually improving rendering quality. Look at the difference in graphical quality between, say, 2005-2010, then 2010-2015, then 2015-2020. You would be hard pressed to tell a difference in most stuff over the last five years. |

Did you buy a 2060 lad? The 3070 that got announced yesterday is going to be better than a 2080ti for the same price as the 2060 super. They're obviously worried about the release of Big Navi blowing them up on the price to performance metrics. |

Be able to pick up a mad cheap 2080ti soon I reckon. People are already trying to shift them for about £600 on eBay, presumably while crying into a stiff drink- Imagine how much more the resale will plummet after 3000 is out. |

My rig keeps freezing during games. I'm posting it in this thread because I imagine something is overheating (even though I just replaced my bloody heatsink) but I don't know how to find out what. Googling the problem just results in people whinging about stuff freezing on startup or BSODs or other problems which don't regularly occur after a certain amount of gameplay. What course of diagnostic software would you prescribe, doctor? |

Interesting leaks about AMD's new hardware regarding pricing. By the looks of it they're focussing squarely on the midrange and not even bothering to take on the performance of the 3080 and 3090, which people have suspected for a while but it's all but confirmed now. |

So I have a GTX 1060 6GB, which so far has been fine for playing most games on medium-high at a decent FPS at 1080p. I'm not bothered about higher resolutions or playing on ultra settings, but I feel I may need to upgrade to get a good experience for the upcoming AAA releases like Cyberpunk 2077. I was thinking of maybe going for the RTX 3070, but don't know if that is a worthy upgrade. For around that price I could buy an Xbox Series X or maybe a PS5. I was told to wait until the new year before buying a new card, which is fine, but thought I'd get youse lads input. |

>Okay, so you likely can't even find the new GPUs or the soon-to-launch GPUs in stock. Why not just pick up a previous generation card on sale? It's a nice thought, but the problem is that most previous generation GPUs are overpriced now. Again, blame COVID-19, but just about every mid-range or higher GPU has seen prices increase over the past few months. |

On that note card model numbers are so misleading. I want to play a game with a minimum requirement of a 1050, and I think oof my 970 is just under, so maybe it won't run very well. When of course a 970 is in reality miles better than a 1050. |
