00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.120
whether amd had always intended to debate nvidia when releasing their rx

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:10.480
5700 series is up for debate but in any

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:12.639
event the minor price war or more of a

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:18.160
price skirmish really went a long way to making mid-range gpus more affordable

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:25.039
and accessible and that's a great thing for everyone looking to build a new pc

00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:27.599
or upgrade an existing pc which is why

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:31.519

00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:58.719
coffee or something

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:04.159
let's start with the budget segment let's say you saved up for a while and

00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:09.200
now you've got five hundred dollars to spend on building a new pc realistically

00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:13.920
the most you can or should spare on a gpu in this range would be about a

00:01:11.119 --> 00:01:18.400
hundred dollars with this in mind well your options are very limited unless you

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:23.840
want to expand your budget by 50 or so at the expense of say the power supply

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:29.200
at 100 though new card pricing gets kind of strange because the rx 500 series is

00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:34.799
old enough now that the prices for lower hand variants and higher end variants

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:36.720
are converging now this makes the rx 570

00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:40.960
the definitive choice for a new budget card but who says you need to buy new

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:47.600
you can get your hands on a faster used radeon rx 580 for around the same price

00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:51.600
or a gtx 1066 gigabyte for a couple extra bucks if you need cuda or want a

00:01:49.759 --> 00:01:55.040
little more performance of course this does depend on your availability in your

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:59.439
region of the world now let's say it's your birthday happy birthday by the way

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:03.600
and you opened up that shiny new linus tech tips insulated water bottle your

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:08.959
aunt got you from the lttstore.com and you found some money inside great all of

00:02:05.759 --> 00:02:11.200
a sudden you've got a 750 budget

00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:16.640
so what now assuming you're building a ryzen 5 3600 based system or something

00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:20.560
similar you've got about 240 dollars to play with here depending on your

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:25.520
priorities so your options actually open up quite a lot now if you're looking at

00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:33.519
new inbox cards your choices are going to boil down to the rx 590 and gtx 1669

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:35.760
ti you can get a 1660 ti for an extra 20

00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:40.720
bucks if you can spare a few coffees or you could go used and pick up a

00:02:37.519 --> 00:02:43.040
reference rx vega 56 for around 200 or

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:47.760
so which will mop the floor with either of these cards not only in gaming but

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:53.040
also in any compute scenario that can utilize opencl there's our answer then

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:57.760
if you're okay with used grab omega 56 regardless of what you do but if you're

00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:03.360
dead set on new then my recommendation is to spend the extra 20 to get a gtx

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:06.080
1660 ti but wait what's that you found

00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:10.400
another hypothetical 250 to make it an even grand why didn't you say so i'd

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:15.120
still recommend sticking with a ryzen 5 3600 at this price point but you can

00:03:12.959 --> 00:03:21.120
spoil yourself a little with a biggish ssd and some fast ram by the time all is

00:03:18.239 --> 00:03:25.440
said and done you're left with about 330 for the gpu more if you don't really

00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:30.239
care about those niceties it's here that the rx vega 56 becomes available to you

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:36.000
at retail and it's also around the price of an entry-level rtx 2060 non-super but

00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:42.400
neither of those options nor anything in the used market is as good as deal as

00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:45.280
the radeon rx 5700 non-xt starting at

00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:49.360
349 and beating out the rtx 2060 by a considerable margin in our testing as

00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:54.000
you can see in this review that i hosted it's worth the extra little stretch to

00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:59.439
pick one up over the competition even from team red remember this performance

00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:02.080
level is similar to the gtx 1070 ti but

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:07.519
i suppose if you need cuda or you really want rtx and dlss support or you just

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:12.319
really hate amd's drivers not that i blame you tbh the rtx 2060 is there for

00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:17.280
the same price oh sweet that's a sizable tax return

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:22.720
you've got there what's that like 1500 you can build a sick pc with that throw

00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:28.720
a ryzen 7 3700 x in there 16 gigs of fast ddr4 3600 memory nvme ssd tempered

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:33.440
glass case and you've still got about 500 left in the bank for the gpu

00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:39.840
obviously the mind immediately settles on the nvidia geforce rtx 2070 super

00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.000
which starting at 500 is quite the spend

00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:48.240
but as a middle ground between the rtx 2070 and the rtx 2080 the rtx 2070 super

00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:53.520
is enough for high-end 1440p gaming at the least to say nothing of its compute

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:57.040
chops or rtx and dlss support you could make an interesting compromise though

00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:02.560
you could save a hundred bucks by grabbing a non-reference rx 5700 xt you

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:07.280
know the ones that don't overheat and sound like a jet engine that way you not

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:10.880
only get access to excellent opencl performance but you also gain a bit of

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:18.560
versatility to shuffle your other components around want more ram sure

00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:20.400
want a ryzen 7 3800x or core i7 9700k go

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:24.080
for it this is a pretty comfortable place to be building a pc from so

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:29.120
balance it to your needs and you're good to go you there in the top hat monocle

00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:34.880
you've got 2 grand to spare right after you get a better hat how about building

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:37.520
a pc i'm talking 12 cores royal memory

00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:43.280
tempered glass with rgb the whole shebang you've got about 775 left

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:48.080
what gpu do you buy okay this one's real simple unless you want

00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:52.639
to run mac os or your workload uses opencl you buy the rtx 2080 super there

00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:58.800
just isn't a comparable product on the market right now and unfortunately for

00:05:54.720 --> 00:06:00.960
consumers nvidia knows this all too well

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:05.600
hence why the super variant wasn't a major leap forward in performance for

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:11.919
the price over the non-super and why there isn't yet an rtx 2080 ti super

00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:18.560
anyway if you do want to run mac os or you do use opencl then this is the only

00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:20.639
real time that the radeon 7 makes sense

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:25.039
it's really no wonder it was reported that amd had stopped producing them

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:30.639
beyond that price point the only real options are the rtx 2080 ti titan rtx

00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:35.199
and workstation cards like the quadros and radeon instinct series if you're

00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:40.720
prepared to drop that kind of cash down the choice should be pretty obvious buy

00:06:37.520 --> 00:06:42.800
what you can afford or else buy what's

00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:48.160
best for your workload for gamers amd has nothing in this price

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:52.720
point and crossfire is dead now so my condolences to team red at the high end

00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:57.600
for now but hopefully 2020 brings some more competition to

00:06:55.039 --> 00:07:00.800
shake up the market thankfully for your ears that's already

00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:05.440
