    souvik200 got a reaction from Ben17 in Is 1660 Super a good upgrade over RX 470?   
    I was thinking about the zotac 2060. https://www.zotac.com/us/product/graphics_card/zotac-gaming-geforce-rtx-2060
     
    Since I am just upgrading the GPU it won't cut into any other parts' budget but I am willing to put in the extra money if it would be worth the 90 USD, and I am confused in this regard.

    RX 5700 costs 32000 INR (~450 USD) for Gigabyte Gaming OC version which is the same price as a 2060 Super. AMD always price their cards way higher in India initially, but they drop to almost nothing after 1-2 years.

    Is the roughly 90 USD difference between the 1660 super and 2060 worth it if I consider Red Dead 2 as the primary game. I have a Ryzen 5 2600, and I wish to game at 1080p Medium Settings? I can buy the 2060 if it is worth the price.

    I have a sapphire RX 470 4GB (Blower Style cooler - which is very loud and the card gets too hot now, after 3 years), I was thinking of upgrading. Is the 1660 Super a good upgrade over a RX 470? Or should I spend more and get a RTX 2060 non-super? Where I live the 1660 Super costs 19000 INR (~267 USD) and the 2060 costs 25500 INR (~358 USD).
     
    EDIT:
    I play mostly AAA games (Red Dead 2, Assassins Creed Series etc.) and PUBG.

    Are you 100% sure it's DDR3 you have? While it is possible for B150 boards to support DDR3 memory, they're not that common.

    i7 7700 is too expensive, even when buying used.
     
    If you want to spend $160 on a 6 core CPU without integrated graphics and you already need to buy a new motherboard and new RAM, then why not buy a Ryzen 2600 instead?

    you don't NEED high speed ram. you can overclock 2400 mhz ram pretty good afaik. what would a r5 1600/2600 b450 combo cost you?

    then i would choose the 2600 personally, because you get smt (amd's hyperthreading), overclocking, a better stock cooler and a better upgrade path. what motherboard is it?

    it'll be supported until 2020, so you'll be fine there
     
    have fun and don't forget to mark it solved, and if you feel like it react to some comments (or all of them)

    this is the 7700 on ddr4 against a r5 2600, you see the difference is quite notable, and with the price the 7700 goes for you, i wouldn't do it personally
    anything else?
