Msi Gtx 1660 ti gaming x
diffrence rx 590 - gtx 1660 ti (rx 580 and gtx 1660 ti mabye +10% difference)

Assassins Creed Odyssey (have atleast 3 older assassins game) difference 11fps or or 25%

Far cry 5 (have 3-4 older far crygames) 21 fps or just under 30%

gta v 29 fps or close to 30% (to a stock 580 its 39fps)

Shadow of the tomb raider 18fps or 20%

The witcher 3 (as i remember i first tried it with a gtx 1070 mabye i7 7700k and a 3440x1440 100hz monitor, it wasn't running that smooth) 19 fps or 30%

Wolfenstein 2 has biggest diffrence 44fps or 35% more fps with a gtx 1660 ti thats like high to very high and keep the fps

The good gtx 1660 ti and 2060 are a bit expensive

Update for some reason they have updated the bundle to include the far cry new dawn bundle with a RTX 2060 and until someone mentions i never thought the rtx 2060 was as fast as a gtx 1080

you're counting in your 580 running at 590 speeds with oc but forget 1660ti has 15% oc headroom,noticeably more than these polaris cards.
like I said, get the 2060 or just leave your rig as is until something of 2060 or higher pefromance comes at $300 (nvidia's 7nm or navi)

Running 1469mhz on the gpu and ram stock 2000mhz speed

I was asking about the dual fans on the asus card since there are no reviews of the new asus gtx 1660 ti and rtx 2060 with 2 fans.

Since price is a bit lower on the dual cards (we found out that it has to a be a 2 fan or more card) im interested in knowing how good the fans are, the price difference is studpidly high when your going from the asus 1 fan cards to the one with 3 fans even when both are rtx 2060 cards, up to 30-35% diffrence between cheapest and most expensive asus rtx 2060 more than $100

Looking at the options ....

Budget
Sell the 580 = -$100
Grab a 1660 = $230
Net cost = $130 ....23% performance (26% over OC'd Nitro when both cards OC'd)
Each 1% increase in performance is costing you $5.00

Budget
Sell the 580 = -$100
Grab a 1660 Ti = $280
Net cost = $180 ....48% performance
Each 1% increase in performance is costing you $3.75

Budget
Sell the 580 = -$100
Grab a 2060 = $350
Net cost = $250 ....64% performance (68% over OC'd Nitro)
Each 1% increase in performance is costing you $3.68

Budget
Sell the 580 = -$100
Grab a 2070 = $500
Net cost = $400 ....89% performance
Performance ROI = $4.49

The 2060 has the lowest cost per unit gain in performance..... not to mention,

https://tpucdn.com/reviews/Intel/Core_i5_9600K/images/relative-performance-games-1920-1080.png

Your 8400 delivers 96.9% of the fastest gaming CPU available at 1080p.... so don't see any room for significant impact on the CPU side.

Also, basing your evaluation "well the card is overclocked almost to next tier card" is a fool's errand because it ignorees that facts that a) every other card is able to be overclocked too, and b) since your current card is AMD, you have to recocognize that AMD very aggressively clocks the card in the box, which doesn't leave as much headroom left ...

Sapphirre 580 Nitro - 5.0% over reference stock 580 fps in TPUs overclocking test
MSI 1660 - 16% over reference stock 1660 fps in TPUs overclocking test
MSI 1660 Ti - 16.3% over reference stock 1660 ti fps in TPUs overclocking test
MSI 2060 - 12.2% over reference stock 2060 fps in TPUs overclocking test

Since you had indicated that the 2060 was too expensive, I would suggest postponing the purchase a bit until you can save more money. In the long run, the 2060 offers the best bang for the buck by a considerable margin over the 2070 and 1660 and still has the edge over the 1660 Ti. Consider also that due to changes in market share in the last month, I expect AMD will be cutting prices which in turn will force nVidia to do the same. Most folks I know are waiting till May in anticipation of same, and here in US anyway also hopping they at least switch the tariff situation .... if there's going to be a tariff, it should be on assembled PCs built in china, not parts shipped here and assembled by US labor.

I can get more than $100 for my card

I don't se that performance gain with gtx 1660 not even against a stock rx 580

https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GeForce_GTX_1660_Gaming_X/28.html


Im expecting to get $181 for sapphire rx 580 nitro + 4gb (just a bit under 1/3 of what i payed or 35-40 less than i payed).

I think we have to use cards with 2 fans since i want good cooling.

Cheapest 2 fan card i could imagine i would buy is a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Ti WINDFORCE OC 6G or ASUS DUAL-GTX1660TI-O6G for about $364 (gigabyte a little cheaper)

Cheapest non asus,evga,msi i could imagine buying is a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 OC rev. 2.0 less than 1 week delivery $447

I see it as the gtx 1660 ti being the better bang for the buck if you don't want to spend to much where in a year or so i might be able to buy a used rtx 2070 for the same price as a new rtx 2060 if i need more performance + ryzen 3 ?

If a 2060 is a better bang for the buck why don't tomshardware have it on there list as the Best Graphics Cards for Gaming in 2019

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gpus,4380.html

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/03/18/best-graphics-card-2019-6/

So if a rx 580 or gtx 1660 is best for 1080p 60hz (rx 580 being closer to a gtx 1060 than a gtx 1660) and i have a 144hz monitor should get one better better or the minimum for 1440p 60hz and that would be a gtx 1660 ti since a 1660 isnt noticeable faster and a rtx 2060 a bit pricey

Im not trying to justify buying a gtx 1660 ti more trying to say if not a 1660 ti is better for someone who don't want to spend $450 on a faster gpu

I live in denmark so prices isn't the same as in usa

:laugh::roll:
tomshardware is a joke.
I'm sure they're capable of recommending 2070 over 2060 too

like I said,what you need to focus on is that extra $80 gets you another 20%,something that's just too good to pass in this segment if you've got a 144hz monitor and a powerful gaming cpu.
I ran gtx 1080 at 1440p 144hz,the rtx 2060 is gonna rip through fullhd like a chainsaw through butter.good for years to come.plus rtx features will be included in most big aaa games to come.

1. Please put your location into your profile so we can tailor responses to where you live

2. In US, it's going for $100
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sapphire-R...m287a36bb42:g:FlkAAOSw4vpcAKJ9&frcectupt=true

3. Your not looking in the right place ... BTW, I am using MSI as a basis of comparison as TPU has tested MSI models of all cards under consideration. The MSI 580 was a lot faster (+12.7%)


From the above we know that the 1660 is 23.5% (100 / 81) faster than the stock 580. We know that the Nitro OCs 5% over the stock card. If we look at the pic below...

https://tpucdn.com/reviews/MSI/GeForce_GTX_1660_Gaming_X/images/overclocked-performance.png

We can calculate that the relative performance of the MSI 1660 and the Sapphire Biro 580 is:

23.5% x 1.148 / 1.05 = The overcloked MSI 1660 should be 25.7% faster than the overclocked Nitro 580

If a 2060 is a better bang for the buck why don't tomshardware have it on there list as the Best Graphics Cards for Gaming in 2019

Because THG was bought by Purch Group whose business model is based upon a product placement model.

What prices on PCpartpicker are most similar to yours ? I'll use Belgium (nethherlands had no listings for some models)... the 1660 there is €270 vs $230 here so will assume you would get €270 for old card based upon that ratio (270/230)

Budget
Sell the 580 = €120
Grab a 1660 = €270
Net cost = €150 ....23% performance (26% over OC'd Nitro when both cards OC'd)
Each 1% increase in performance is costing you €6.52

Budget
Sell the 580 = €120
Grab a 1660 Ti = €310
Net cost = €190 ....48% performance (50% over OC'd Nitro when both cards OC'd)
Each 1% increase in performance is costing you €3.80

Budget
Sell the 580 = -€120
Grab a 2060 = €390
Net cost = €270 ....64% performance (68% over OC'd Nitro)
Each 1% increase in performance is costing you $3.97

Again, the 1660 has a very poor return on investment and the 1660 Ti remain very close in relative value

a little cheaper in germany , shipping use to be under 10 euros and 25% vat from 19 to 25%

In Denmark cheapest sapphire rx 580 nitro+ 4gb is new $227, so you can se the prices are not the same (normal retail price is closer to around 260 euros, the 8gb version non blues is infact cheaper than the 4gb version on newegg)

both are low end options.neither are great.go for price.on a 1660ti/2060 both are gonna do well with a basic dual cooler,that's one benefit of a power efficient card.

Just don't know, asus is much smaller (pcb) then the fans where msi is a longer card then asus

cheap rtx 2060 (recommeded card) or high end rtx 1660 ti ?

Have seen games with a gtx 1080 about the samme performance as a rtx 2060 where a fast cpu gives more fps cod,csgo overwatch, far cry 5,warhammer

Like not buy a card with gtx 1080 performance before i have a faster cpu so i can get max performance from a fast card in 1080p 144hz


(project cars 2 makes a huge diffrence and i play that game alot)

both are low end options.neither are great.go for price.on a 1660ti/2060 both are gonna do well with a basic dual cooler,that's one benefit of a power efficient card.


Im also thinking of difference of coilwhine,fan noise and temps, atm there are only a few gtx 1660 ti and rtx 2060 asus,msi low tier card, dual and armor

Hate palit (gainward not better) once had a gtx 1060 it had hysteric fans, on and off alle the time and it sounded as if you where driving fast and always hit the brakes hard and accelerate really fast (noise when when fans turn on and off)

Transsition from on and off wasn't smooth

Hate palit (gainward not better) once had a gtx 1060 it had hysteric fans, on and off alle the time and it sounded as if you where driving fast and always hit the brakes hard and accelerate really fast (noise when when fans tuen go on and off)

Transsition from on and off wasn't smooth
I can attest for palit's jetstream series,had 1080 sjs,quality card.cool,quite,overclocked like a friggin devil, 2150mhz game stable.

sorry,I thought you did,excuse me,I'm drunk 24/7 lately

if you care about the 0db thingy,check which card has 60 degree threashold,50 degree can can be annoying if you can hear your fans start and stop.

vega strix cards were crap.
must've been some issue with contact area cause 1080ti strix was one of the coolest and quietest ones.

Just a heads up, dunno if we're looking at the same Asus Dual 2060, but the one I've seen is three slots wide.

Edit: Oh you meant 1070..
