Hi
I've been out of the PC space for a number of years, i'm looking to get back into some gaming. I build my PC when GTX680 was the Flagship card from Nvidia. I want to start playing some games again however my 680 doesn't really cut it anymore especially in Apex Legends. I want to upgrade however i don't want to spend a lot of money as i don't play games as much as i used to. I was thinking between a GTX 1660 super and 1660 TI. (MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB VENTUS XS OC Turing Graphics Card @ £274.99) and (Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6GB OC Turing Graphics Card @ £227.99) I have looked at the reviews and can only see minor improvements in the FPS on the TI.
I wanted advise to if there was any more difference than just the core count and the mhz as i have not been following tech news as strickly as i once did. I also would like to know If i there would be any real bottlenecking of my CPU as these cards are a big job from my current card. I am running a Core i5 2500k (sandy bridge) with 16gb of ram. I'm not looking to do a whole upgrade just enough to bring me back into the game.
I would like to play games such as Alex Legends, Rocket Leage, Heros of the Storm, Tomb Raider, elder scrolls skyrim or new version if they are releasing one in the future and maybe a bit of WOWif i decide to get back into that. I game on a 2560x1440 60hz monitor (so looking to be able to run 60fps min) and would like to play high - ultra as i appreciate the graphics of games like Rise of the Tomb Raider.
I am swaying to the 1660 Super, due to cost savings.
Advise would be appreicated
Thanks
