I've looked high and low for answers to my questions, but only ended up getting confused, so I thought maybe you guys could help me. I have a 165 Hz 1080p monitor that I intend to keep for a good long while (3+ years), an RX 5700 XT that's been nothing but headaches -- so much so that I'm throwing in the towel and attempting to resell it atm. It's not bricked, per se, but the DP ports aren't working on it, only HDMI. Anyway, I intend to use whatever money I'm able to get from it on an Nvidia GPU this time around, and have narrowed it down to 3 potential cards -- the 1660 Super, the 1660 Ti, and the RTX 2060/2060 Super. The thing is though, I don't care much for the whole ray-tracing thing, and even though the RTX 2060 CAN do it, doing so leads to a big performance hit. But yeah, I don't care for the RT stuff the RTX offers. What I'm more interested in is the extra 2GBs of RAM the 2060 Super offers over the non-Super and the two GTX cards I'm also looking at.
As I mentioned earlier in this post, my RX 5700 XT is giving me headaches, so I'm using my Nitro+ RX 580 in the interim. I know the 2060 Super would be a definite upgrade in performance, but like I said, I find ray-tracing meh. However, what kind of performance upgrade would I see going from the 580 to either of the GTX cards?
Thanks everyone
