if stuff liek this get's utilized the newer turing cards will run exclusive stuff only they can do and/or do it faster.

so there is a simple solution to this problem. if you don't need a new card don't get one and wait when this "stuff" gets used.
Thank you so much.. This makes complete sense.. Maybe it's time I gave nividia another chance

Currently I don't need a new GPU, however the reason I am making enquiries is because I can return my RX 580 to amazon until the 17th march for a full refund.. After that I'm stuck with it until I want to really upgrade..

I'm happy with it but I was wondering if its would be wise to get a refund and replace with a rtx 2060? That's what I was wondering.. And if so.. Is there a specific 2060 model that is recommended? Asus Strix comes to mind but I may be wrong.. Thanks
