2060 needs to be around 1070 to even make sense lol. Unless nvidia wants to make like 50 different versions for it again...

720p60.

HDR400 is pointless... The monitors that are doing 400 nits are just peak measurements - even then, 400 nits itself isn't even enough. You want HDR, do it properly.

It's like trying to get a setup suitable for Atmos/DTSX and you go buy a soundbar to do it.

Which... no one in the videophile industry except VESA agress with. The bare minimum should be 500 nits and has to hold it over a 20% window not 10%.

I have no comment on just using 120hz with 4k though. I agree with that, I just don't agree with a 400 nits monitor that only needs pass a 10% window brightness to get a "HDR" moniker.

Notice how all manufacturers for those 12 monitors except for BenQ has been sucking nvidia's D for the last 10 years?
Also it's very odd how the Acer XG270HU is certified but the XF270HU isn't?

On a separate note - those who want to sell their 1070, 1070ti and 1080 better do so now. 2060 will murder 1070 second hand prices.

I believe that the "un-certified" monitors simply don't do what Gsync does at low framerates - i.e Freesync support range is 40hz and above where as Gsync goes down to 24hz.
So in theory, as long as you can maintain above 40fps, the Gsync will work on any Freesync monitors. It's only "not certified" because it can't do below 40hz.

But then again, I find it odd because most of those monitors does not support LFC (low framerate compensation) anyhow yet they are certified??? Wut??

It's about consistency, not about whether it matters or not. Otherwise why the hell is there a need for certification? Nvidia is clearly using this certification to indirectly jab at AMD and using it as a marketing tool.


You sure or not? Incoming Asus retarded price of RM2399.....

12 out of 400 monitors?? Yeah.... Okay.

I hope so!

1070Ti OC'd to hold boost over 2000mhz (core) and 9ghz memory = stock 1080.

2060 OC'd to hold boost over 2000mhz (core) and 16ghz memory = OC'd 1080.

That said, older games that prefers raw shader output performance (i.e Crysis 3) shows that the 2060 loses to the 1070Ti and 1080. At least this is prevalent in frametime analysis and not simply "average FPS" which is a pointless metric now a days. The 2060 loses that noticeable advantage at 4k too, but if you're going to play at 4k you shouldn't really be buying a 2060 in the first place.

I think if you can find a 1070Ti for RM1k, that's still a good deal. A 1080 at RM1.2k is still a no brainer purchase. This is all assuming the 2060 is coming at the RM1.6k to 2k price point.

Indeed. I think they made the 2060 a little too good, initially I was only expecting it to perform somewhere between 1070 and 1070Ti and with some OCing perhaps beating just a stock 1070Ti. Nvidia went ahead and put it in contention with the 1080 instead... yeah it's a great generational jump over the 1060 and there hasn't been that big of a jump since.... uh, I don't even remember when lol. This almost looks like a "2060Ti" if you ask me.

They still need a true $250 successor though, can't rely on that dumb 1060 with GDDR5x memory to hold it forever. Just imagine a RTX2050 at that price point... lol.

Resident Evil 2 Remake is coming with DLSS and RT iinm, not sure on day 1 or not but knowing capcom and their PC versions these days - it should be within the first month. RE7 on PC was great!

Lol @ freesync doesn't work.

Yo, this mofo doesn't even use gsync as his personal office computer does he?

Driver 417.71 is out. Have a couple Freesync monitors to try.

Lmao wut? If 1660Ti = "20%" faster than 1060 6GB, then 1660 = 1060?

Then why sell a 1660? This is truly retarded levels of speculation.

3GB isn't even enough for HTPC solely for movies. MadVR max settings to upscale 1080p content to 2160p requires more than 4GB of VRAM lol. Not sure what their target market is.

Image quality aside, the limitations that Nvidia imposes on DLSS being only able to enable it on specific resolutions is also quite silly.

Now we have a 1650 which would be targeting the $199 market.

You guys don't understand. For as much shit as I like talking about Nvidia, this one time I actually support their decision in bringing RT to pascal cards eventhough it's kinda pointless.

Ray tracing needs to go mainstream and the only way to do that is to broaden market appearance. It needs to start somewhere and even if that start is a shit show, it needs to start. RT is the future, like it or not and is essential to how graphics rendering for consumer interactive media will be like in a decade from now (hopefully less).

So I don't care if it's "pointless" for Pascal cards to support RT - it serves a purpose to tell developers and publishers that RT needs to start and it needs to start now.

1650 is a great little card solely for HTPC usage I see. Will pretty much play and upscale all content to 4k with high MadVR settings.

I expect the 1650Ti to be on par with the 1060 6GB.

Next thing Malaysia need to do for consumer rights is to abolish the retarded "you break the warranty sticker, you void the warranty" rule.

It's a retarded law and the US has already abolished it.

Can't believe people are still bending over for it until today.
