00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.799
it's holiday season and we're getting ready this probably won't go up until

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:10.880
2020. well you know what forget it i don't

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:14.799
even care i'm still gonna talk about graphics card shopping i mean you still

00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:19.199
got christmas money right good here's what to blow it on

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:23.840
after you blow up a little bit of it on our sponsor glassware instantly see your

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:28.560

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:37.979
the link below

00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:47.680
like our other buyer's guides all of our candidates need to be available new the

00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:52.320
used market is just too volatile to make specific recommendations although

00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:55.199
i will say that if you're savvy used hardware is a great option for value

00:00:54.239 --> 00:01:01.680
seekers so we're looking at the regular retail price or the typical sale price for

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:06.400
items that seem to be always on promo and while we will have recommendations

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:10.080
for specific cards linked in the video description below

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

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:19.040
whatever reason now unique to our GPU buyer's guide is that we will not be

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:22.799
looking at anything below 100 we have shown time and time again that

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:29.360
these cards are a terrible value for gaming so either save up a little bit

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:31.439
longer or just go full bargain basement

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:35.360
and pick up something like this if you just need an output for a secondary

00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:39.759
monitor oh yeah guys get subbed so you don't miss our upcoming video on cheap

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

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

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:54.000
rx 500 series cards to drop in price as

00:01:50.720 --> 00:01:56.399
the newer rx 5500 series nudges them off

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

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:08.000
foggy future forecast so the recommendation for today is the gtx 1650

00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:11.440
super it's on the pricier side but for

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:13.200
roughly the same cost as the gtx 1650

00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:17.599
you pick up the excellent touring end bank encoder which for me anyway is the

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:22.560
killer app for NVIDIA right now and totally worth that little bit extra

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:26.080
moving up to 200 to 250 bucks the choice

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:28.080
is pretty clear the Radeon rx 5500 xt

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:32.239
just doesn't have what it takes to compete at this price bracket with its

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:39.120
performance being mostly comparable to the gtx 1650 super from the previous one

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:41.440
so i guess that means the gtx 1660 super

00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:46.800
wins by default we actually found in our testing that the faster gddr6 on the new

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:50.720
supercard really helps it push closer to its ti counterpart while it's also

00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:55.040
equipped with the turing end bank encoder for recording gameplay and

00:02:52.720 --> 00:03:00.480
streaming unlike its older Radeon competition at 300 to 350

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

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:11.040
and dlss support along with that touring envincing coder i've gushed so much

00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:17.200
about but on the other hand the AMD Radeon rx 5700 is a better performer for

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:21.760
the price out of the box with extra performance that can be unlocked with a

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:24.000
BIOS upgrade or soft power play tables mod

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:28.319
so with that in mind we're going to go with a dual recommendation of either

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:32.959
card for different use cases want the best possible performance and not afraid

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

00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:39.760
robust feature set get the rtx 2060

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:43.840
you're not going to be disappointed with either card unless of course you are in

00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:46.959
which case i am currently accepting complaints via the special handling

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:51.519
instructions field on orders at lttstore.com

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

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.599
team green seems to be taking the stance that well

00:03:57.519 --> 00:04:03.439
if you've got 450 you must also have another 100

00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:07.840
and they have nothing but tweaked out 2060s in this range which already

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:15.599
weren't competitive with the performance of the non-xt 5700 so i guess that means

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:18.880
the rx 5700 xt wins by default unless

00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:23.840
you do have another 100 bucks at 500 to

00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:26.400
550 the rtx 2070 super comes into play

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

00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:35.440
2070 cousin this card wins more often

00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:40.960
than it loses against the rx 5700 xt while maintaining the NVIDIA exclusive

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:42.639
features rtx minecraft anyone as well as

00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:48.720
the hardware encoder that has made touring so attractive to streamers in

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:52.160
the 600 to 650 category you can still

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:55.120
find an rtx 2080 non-super if you really

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:58.639
want to it'll be about as fast as a gtx 1080 ti

00:04:56.400 --> 00:05:03.440
but with all that rtx goodness but for how much you're paying over the

00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:06.880
2070 super we just don't think it makes any sense

00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:13.759
save your pennies not that i'd strongly recommend getting the rtx 2080 super

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:15.680
either at the 700 to 750 range i mean

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

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:25.440
for your money unless you really need that extra kick from the faster memory

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:26.560
for 1440p or 4k gaming

00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:31.199
so i'll leave the value prop for this one

00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:34.880
up to you guys because i mean at least you could make worse choices here like

00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:40.639
picking up a radio on seven now unlike the rest of the lineup so far

00:05:37.039 --> 00:05:43.840
rtx 2080 ti territory abruptly starts a

00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:47.120
good 200 higher with nothing in the

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:51.280
price gap in between these gpus cost as

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:53.199
much as an entire decent gaming system

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

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

00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:07.280
make an argument for a dual rtx 2070

00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:11.840
super setup but scaling is unreliable and sli support is only getting rarer in

00:06:09.919 --> 00:06:15.440
games these days the only reason i'm even mentioning it is because of

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:20.639
NVIDIA's new experimental checkerboard rendering method that scales with almost

00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:24.560
any title with reduced micro stuttering the big keyword there though is

00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:29.680
experimental and it not only requires a hacky way of enabling it but it may not

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

00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:39.360
sole recommendation we can make at the top end well okay i guess there's the

00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:43.680
titan but if you're spending that kind of money you already knew exactly what

00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:48.560
you wanted anyway and hopefully now so does everyone else regardless of budget

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

00:06:51.440 --> 00:06:57.680
renewed competition with navi pushed pricing down for the masses so everyone

00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:01.440
can enjoy a higher performance than they otherwise could have afforded here's

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

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:09.360
course by the time you're watching this it probably already is

00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:14.560
