RTX2060 or GTX1080

[BoerWes]

Good day guys, some advice needed.

Looking at buying a GPU.

Which is a better option, RTX 2060 or GTX 1080?

According to benchmarks they are close.

GTX1080 but depends on price.

Well, R4k for a 1080 which has pretty much similar performance than a 2060 (usually in the R5k region) apparently. Also, ray tracing performs obviously much better on the 2060.

That being said, if I didnt watercool each and everyone of my cards, I would go for this one. The nvidia binned chips (i.e. the FE chips) are the best you can get.

This is the card i won from UFD but i need to repay a buiyer for a card that now has coli whine. Not dropping the price. Item: nVidia RTX 2060 FE Age: a few months Price: R5000 (this is an Founders Edition so yes it is more expensive) Warranty: nope it was an imported card Packaging: Original...
