1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,799
it's holiday season and we're getting ready this probably won't go up until

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:10,880
2020. well you know what forget it i don't

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:14,799
even care i'm still gonna talk about graphics card shopping i mean you still

4
00:00:12,639 --> 00:00:19,199
got christmas money right good here's what to blow it on

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:23,840
after you blow up a little bit of it on our sponsor glassware instantly see your

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:28,560
current and past network activity detect malware and block badly behaving apps on

7
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:33,020
your pc or Android device with glassware use offer code Linus to get 25 off at

00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,979
the link below

9
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:47,680
like our other buyer's guides all of our candidates need to be available new the

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:52,320
used market is just too volatile to make specific recommendations although

11
00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:55,199
i will say that if you're savvy used hardware is a great option for value

12
00:00:54,239 --> 00:01:01,680
seekers so we're looking at the regular retail price or the typical sale price for

13
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:06,400
items that seem to be always on promo and while we will have recommendations

14
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:10,080
for specific cards linked in the video description below

15
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:14,479
don't feel like you can't branch out if a faster card has a bigger discount for

16
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:19,040
whatever reason now unique to our GPU buyer's guide is that we will not be

17
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:22,799
looking at anything below 100 we have shown time and time again that

18
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:29,360
these cards are a terrible value for gaming so either save up a little bit

19
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:31,439
longer or just go full bargain basement

20
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,360
and pick up something like this if you just need an output for a secondary

21
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:39,759
monitor oh yeah guys get subbed so you don't miss our upcoming video on cheap

22
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:43,680
graphics cards off wish.com this time we're gonna buy a bunch of them and just

23
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:50,720
see what we get at the lower end of the 100 to 150 range you can expect Radeon

24
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:54,000
rx 500 series cards to drop in price as

25
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:56,399
the newer rx 5500 series nudges them off

26
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,479
of store shelves i'd say keep an eye on them for deals but that's kind of a

27
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:08,000
foggy future forecast so the recommendation for today is the gtx 1650

28
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:11,440
super it's on the pricier side but for

29
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,200
roughly the same cost as the gtx 1650

30
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:17,599
you pick up the excellent touring end bank encoder which for me anyway is the

31
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:22,560
killer app for NVIDIA right now and totally worth that little bit extra

32
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:26,080
moving up to 200 to 250 bucks the choice

33
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:28,080
is pretty clear the Radeon rx 5500 xt

34
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,239
just doesn't have what it takes to compete at this price bracket with its

35
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:39,120
performance being mostly comparable to the gtx 1650 super from the previous one

36
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,440
so i guess that means the gtx 1660 super

37
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:46,800
wins by default we actually found in our testing that the faster gddr6 on the new

38
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:50,720
supercard really helps it push closer to its ti counterpart while it's also

39
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:55,040
equipped with the turing end bank encoder for recording gameplay and

40
00:02:52,720 --> 00:03:00,480
streaming unlike its older Radeon competition at 300 to 350

41
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:06,480
Anthony and i were kind of split on the one hand the rtx 2060 provides full rtx

42
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:11,040
and dlss support along with that touring envincing coder i've gushed so much

43
00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:17,200
about but on the other hand the AMD Radeon rx 5700 is a better performer for

44
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:21,760
the price out of the box with extra performance that can be unlocked with a

45
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,000
BIOS upgrade or soft power play tables mod

46
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,319
so with that in mind we're going to go with a dual recommendation of either

47
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,959
card for different use cases want the best possible performance and not afraid

48
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:38,239
to tinker grab an rx 5700 you're gonna love it want good performance and a more

49
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,760
robust feature set get the rtx 2060

50
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:43,840
you're not going to be disappointed with either card unless of course you are in

51
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:46,959
which case i am currently accepting complaints via the special handling

52
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:51,519
instructions field on orders at lttstore.com

53
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:56,000
as we hit the 400 to 450 mark we're once again faced with a no contest decision

54
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,599
team green seems to be taking the stance that well

55
00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:03,439
if you've got 450 you must also have another 100

56
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:07,840
and they have nothing but tweaked out 2060s in this range which already

57
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:15,599
weren't competitive with the performance of the non-xt 5700 so i guess that means

58
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:18,880
the rx 5700 xt wins by default unless

59
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:23,840
you do have another 100 bucks at 500 to

60
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:26,400
550 the rtx 2070 super comes into play

61
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:32,479
and does it hard with performance that's more in line with the rtx 2080 than its

62
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:35,440
2070 cousin this card wins more often

63
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:40,960
than it loses against the rx 5700 xt while maintaining the NVIDIA exclusive

64
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,639
features rtx minecraft anyone as well as

65
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:48,720
the hardware encoder that has made touring so attractive to streamers in

66
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:52,160
the 600 to 650 category you can still

67
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:55,120
find an rtx 2080 non-super if you really

68
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:58,639
want to it'll be about as fast as a gtx 1080 ti

69
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:03,440
but with all that rtx goodness but for how much you're paying over the

70
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:06,880
2070 super we just don't think it makes any sense

71
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:13,759
save your pennies not that i'd strongly recommend getting the rtx 2080 super

72
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:15,680
either at the 700 to 750 range i mean

73
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:19,919
it's not that it's a bad card it's just that you're not getting that much more

74
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:25,440
for your money unless you really need that extra kick from the faster memory

75
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,560
for 1440p or 4k gaming

76
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,199
so i'll leave the value prop for this one

77
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:34,880
up to you guys because i mean at least you could make worse choices here like

78
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:40,639
picking up a radio on seven now unlike the rest of the lineup so far

79
00:05:37,039 --> 00:05:43,840
rtx 2080 ti territory abruptly starts a

80
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:47,120
good 200 higher with nothing in the

81
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:51,280
price gap in between these gpus cost as

82
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:53,199
much as an entire decent gaming system

83
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:58,800
and they've got no competition to speak of so if you're looking for the best of the

84
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:04,400
best you've only got one choice and you better be ready to pay now you could

85
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:07,280
make an argument for a dual rtx 2070

86
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:11,840
super setup but scaling is unreliable and sli support is only getting rarer in

87
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:15,440
games these days the only reason i'm even mentioning it is because of

88
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:20,639
NVIDIA's new experimental checkerboard rendering method that scales with almost

89
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:24,560
any title with reduced micro stuttering the big keyword there though is

90
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:29,680
experimental and it not only requires a hacky way of enabling it but it may not

91
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:34,560
work on every title yet either so until cfr is stable the single 2080 ti is the

92
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:39,360
sole recommendation we can make at the top end well okay i guess there's the

93
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:43,680
titan but if you're spending that kind of money you already knew exactly what

94
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:48,560
you wanted anyway and hopefully now so does everyone else regardless of budget

95
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:53,280
2019 wasn't as much of a banner year for gpus as it was for cpus but AMD's

96
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:57,680
renewed competition with navi pushed pricing down for the masses so everyone

97
00:06:55,759 --> 00:07:01,440
can enjoy a higher performance than they otherwise could have afforded here's

98
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:05,520
hoping for more of the same and maybe a few twists and turns for 2020 which of

99
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,360
course by the time you're watching this it probably already is

100
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:14,560
