Rightnow we've narrowed it down to GTX 1070 versus RTX 2060. While the RTX 2060 is a better overall card with generally higher performance and clock speed, it only has 6GB of VRAM. The GTX 1070 has slightly lower clock speed but has 8GB of VRAM. Which will ultimately cause smoother experiences in Enscape? A higher clock speed or more VRAM?

Our firm uses Revit as the base, and we handle very large and complicated models (multi-tower designs, 600+ units) and have noted some slowness with GTX 1660S cards. We are not upgrading the 1660S cards, as we are generally happy with their ability to handle Enscape, but for a couple other computers where we're upgrading from older cards, we want to make sure we can handle these larger models.


The GTX 1070 is (in benchmarks at least) really not even that much slower than the RTX 2060, but keep in mind that the GTX 1070 would not support either Raytracing or DLSS which is actually the reason you may want to go for the RTX 2060 after all if you can get it for a decent deal - DLSS, in case you aren't aware, makes Enscape run at a lower internal resolution then upscales it using artificial intelligence, which does in fact save VRAM, offers better performance, and the Quality difference really isn't huge compared to DLSS turned off.


Demian Gutberlet My firm is also looking into upgrading our PC's graphics cards, especially since Raytracing is now supported with RTX cards. What cards would you suggest that would be the best bang for our buck? Like a $, $$, and $$$ options? Any suggestions would be great, thanks!


It really depends what you can find. At the announced retail prices the 3xxx series is generally a no-brainer compared to any previous generations. (Looking at $500, $700, $1500 price points for Founders Edition cards.) But if you need to upgrade a fleet of workstation, you aren't going to be able to go out and buy quantities of -any-card until well into next year probably. So either hold out and use what you have or pay inflated secondary market prices. Older card prices are inflated as well, and it is especially painful to spend too much on outdated tech. The most economical way to get a new GPU is to buy a whole new PC, since system integrators get priority over consumers for GPU allocation.


If availability wasn't a concern and I was trying to be economical, the 3060 is an interesting option since it has 12GB VRAM. Also the 3080Ti bumps to 12GB. Those would be worth considering for working on larger models.


Basically reinforcing what he is saying - the 3xxxx lineup, in general, offers fantastic price to performance ratio MSRP prices but of course, lately, they are being sold for 2-3x the initial asking price. As he mentions, either you could still go for one even though you'd be paying extra, or you can usually get great deals on whole machines already prebuilt that include one of the 3xxxx cards. Some research is definitely required but should be rather worth it - with a bit of luck you may even get a 3xxxx card for around the asking price, but they are often bought out quickly. Here it's important to just keep an eye on things.


And just to add instead of only reinforcing what rifkin already stated: If you would be going for Enscape VR, I would recommend going with the 3070 or up instead of a 3060 - that extra performance boost could help especially when the Rendering Quality is being increased or the project is on the larger side.


Although at this point the next gen 4000 series (thanks for making things confusing Nvidia...) sounds like it is due to launch in a couple months if you can hold out a bit longer. Supposed to be another significant leap in performance. Though with GPU prices tanking I wouldn't be surprised if they hold off the new release to sell off 30xx stock first.


The goal: Grim Dawn is a gorgeous game. We want those beautiful graphics, and want to share them with our viewers: for those who stream/create videos. But we also want good performance; what good are great graphics when all the action is jittery, due to low framerate or micro-stuttering?


The problem: If I max out the graphics, sometimes my game drops to 20 FPS. Not only does that look jittery, but I may also die (input lag). If I put the graphics on minimum, I get higher FPS but the game looks much worse.


At the weekend I tried to play Commander Keen on my newly acquired W95B "Gaming Rig", but the screen was all shaky and jerky on lateral movement, even with Fix jerky motion option turned on. So, I came to the point that graphics card is causing that (not broken, but incompatible). Sadly, I don't know right now, what card is inside, this computer is at my grandmas apartment and I am visiting her only on weekends. (I am sure it is made by ATi.) Anyway, can you recommend me graphics card for this pc which can stand games like Duke 3D and Blood, but has no problem with Commander Keen? It has Pentium 1 (all what I can say right now - next week I can post full details)


Something interesting, though: Keen Dreams (the "lost" episode) doesn't have this problem, even though it uses almost exactly the same engine ("Galaxy" engine) as Keens 4, 5, and 6.

Consequently, fangames based on the newly released Keen Dreams code don't have the scrolling problem, either. Commander Keen in Atroxian Realm is one such project.


I was facing the same problem lately. I was struggling, as I badly wanted some rather fancy card, like Tseng Et6000 (finally got one), but the best solution is to simply get some decent incarnation of S3 Trio (64v+) etc, as these cards work with absolutely anything. Tseng was tragic with scrolling in Commander Keen, not to mention Jazz Jackrabbit which is completely unplayable on this card. I know that similar problems relate to Matrox and other cards that otherwise are great.


Juat keep in mind that you should preferably get some good quality based S3 Trio card, as the output quality may vary depending on manufacturer (DAC quality probably being the reason). I was adviced to get some Number Nine or Elsa card. Got Number Nine Motion 331 and I'm perfectly happy with it.


Yes, if you search these forums you will find a lot of discussions on the same topic. that said, here are a few that are considered in the top tier for DOS:

-S3 Trio-based are fast and extremely compatible.

-GeForce TNT/TNT2/M64 and GeForce2 MX are not period-correct (being released between 1998-2000) but they are touted for being extremely fast and compatible with DOS games. I use a PCI TNT2 M64 in my own DOS machine. VESA is built in so no need to run UNIVBE.

-for ISA/VLB, ET4000-based cards get lots of praise.

-Voodoo3 2000 is fast and decent but has a couple of compatiblity issues that I've come across. Stargunner won't work with it and in Wing Commander 3, you have to choose the alternate video mode for the FMV cutscenes to display properly.


The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

Hmm... Sounds like I will not just buy a new one, but go dig in my "workshop cellar", because I should have some S3 Trio somewhere in the mess... Sure there is Nvidia Riva Vanta TNT2 16m, which could also do the job... I will see, the trial and error is the way.


And to tikoellner: I absolutely LOVE ISA cards, but I have only single one (well, two, but the second one has BRUTAL driver issues...). I'd love to have some reliable one, like Creative Sound Blaster 16, or something like that.


I'm not sure what you mean. Do you not have DOS installed on a hard drive on this machine? Or are you talking about the benchmark kit? I think I burned mine to CD on another computer and just copied to DOS hdd from the CD.


Well, sorry for my occasional improper syntax, I am not primarily english-speaking. Yes, the kit has 15 megabytes, so what I have to do is either put it on 10 floppies or find one ZIP diskette in my basement since I don't have any CD's handy.


Just wanted to mention, there is one game I found that doesn't like S3 Virge cards. Alien Logic. The game works, but has strange shimmering pixel artifacts on most screens in the game. I tried this with a Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 Virge DX and an STB Velocity 3D Virge VX, both had the same problem. Installing a Matrox Millennium surprisingly made the problem vanish.


My goal with second life is to have a graphics card that I can use in the ULTRA setting for years to come. I have a good budget. I am not looking to scrape the bottom of the barrel. FYI, Second Life's system requirements will not allow anyone to use the Ultra settings.


this has been been covered ad-nausuem ... any GTX 10+ card will work but SL is also CPU bound and NOTHING you have will always allow 'ultra' to be on all the time with screaming FPS. But when building a PC i always like to future proof as much as possible in anycase. keep in mind though SL prefers Nvidia cards over AMD


I'd take your programs as reference for your future system. Well, except for a Quattro or Pro card for potential driver conflicts, especially if you enjoy general gaming. Pretty much any mid-range card on the market should have no problems with ultra settings, since there are a ton of other limiting factors which might kick in.
