Yeah, the Two Great Questions are as relevant as always.
- What is the most demanding game you want to play?
- Do you want to game now or game later?
Those two questions determine your budget, either now, or in the future.
The 2060 I bought was $320, so although that does come right up against 5600 XT, I just didn't hear very good things about the 5600s. Something about a rushed BIOS that you'd have to flash in order to "unlock" performance.
Apparently it also leads to instability in some percentage of the cards, and I'd rather just have something a bit more stable.
Plus, I'm using an R9 Fury X currently, and for my next main build to replace my ten year old motherboard, I still do plan on going AMD CPU+GPU.
So I'll go cheap Nvidia until then. Of course, "stable" comes at the cost of having a locked power limit. That's pretty disappointing, honestly, even though I don't really overclock much.
