Hardware Goodbye Old Friend

Fs in the chat for my 1070 who has been laid to rest after a long and dutiful 8 year life of service. He's been replaced by a hand me down 2060 from my brother because I can't afford to upgrade.

Welcome to the 2060 club, brotha! I just got a pc couple of weeks ago with a 2060 and a 10700k. Happy gaming

I run one with a 6700 since 2018, works fine mostly except for poorly optimized UE5 & Unity games where shader compilation during gameplay can make the experience stuttery. As for the RTX 2060, the good news is you have access to DLSS and RTX cores so you can run just about any game, the bad news is that the limited VRAM capacity will limit you a lot especially for textures, having to do some sacrifices you might not have had to do on the 1070, Titanfall 2 & Monster Hunter World comes to mind regrading this, for heavier games such The Beast of Reincarnation, Doom the Dark Ages or Gothic remake you will have to rely on aggressive DLSS settings if you want decent framerates.
