i would skip the 5600xt because you can usually get a 5700 for not much more, and memory bandwidth is important on these cards.

so bottom line is wait for the 5600 release in hopes of price drop for other cards and get the 1660s?

there's always something on the horizon. at some point you just gotta roll w/it. but if you don't need it now, waiting isn't going to harm you

last question...is the 1660s worth it, considering the rest of my parts?

Honestly if you have an rx 480 (didn't know you had this) just keep it. its still capable for 1080p/60.

Also should i wait for the 5600xt and get that one?

It's marketed as little better than 1660ti at the same price of 279, and the thing is, if I would thouth to spend that much for a gpu, then I would rent a 20€ more just to get 2060 for myself because it's wipes off floor with both of them (5600xt and 1660ti)

the thing is that where im from, you can get the 1660s for 270€ and the 2060 for 360€ (lowest prices)

In the states you can buy a xfx 5700 that wipes the floor with the 2060...for $20 usd more.

590 isn't worth it and not significant different from 480

I found one for 240€ + a AAA game (here), would you recomend i spend a little extra on a 1660 super for 270€ (this one)?

yes, 1660 with OC is close to a 1660 ti

 

https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3451-evga-gtx-1660-review-vs-1660-ti-rx-590-more

 

but if you indeed are considering this to last 4 years, the 5700/2060s makes more sense. just know in the now, you are losing out man y frames with the 60hz monitor with those cards.

Im also in the market for a gpu, currently rocking a 4gb sapphire pulse rx 570 and plan to upgrade to a sapphire pulse rx 5700xt

 

If i were you id go that route(or 2060 super), it will last you longer than a 1660s would and gives you more power should you decide to upgrade to a high refresh rate monitor, or move to 1440p for some games. I myself would rather save and get a little more power for 1080p that will last longer, especially if all you want is 60 fps. 

 

If you are planning to upgrade when the next nvidia series comes out, go 1660 super route or wait and see how 5600xt performs

Worse enough to not get it. If it's really that much of a money difference between these 2 and considering that price won't go down, then all you can do is get 1660ti and do auto overclock with afterburner. Why ti and not s? Because ti will oc better and give you better performance than oced S. Good luck

won't it drop a bit once 5600/5600xt come out?

you think the price of the 5700 is gonna go down once 5600 comes out? I found a 5700 for 360€ and I'm probably gonna get it

ust to be clear here, seems i missed a certain point too 
must be with the results from the 5700xt vs the 2060super fresh in mind

2060 super vs 5700 1080p ( 2060super is the one winning overal 3% faster ) 

...
around 80 to a 100 dollars worth for about 20% improvement in performance is more then worth it 

The problem with these benchmarks, especially with percentage-differences in the single-digits, is that you may face sites that favours your position and sites favouring a different view. In order to prevent bias you would have to deliver both. The individual experience may differ totally due to alternating setups and settings.

Same does apply to whether a price-difference is tolerable or not. Beeing able to play CS:GO at 240fps compared to 200fps regularly isn't worth $100. Getting a minimum fps of 60 compared to 50fps otherwise would be a totally different story. So, if there's some worth to benchmarks finding a suitable card the 0.1/1% fps rates are a lot more important.

1440p again we see the 2060 as overal winner with an total average of 4% 

1440p.thumb.jpg.4e4fe256a2daf1b326cd7606f1806e9a.jpg

 

Link to the video : 

 
link to the technical data of the difference between the 1660Ti and 2060super, I did not expect almost a 30% in difference and here is another clarify, I would have never chosen for the 1660Ti coming from a 1060 3 gb and certainly not with a 5700 lying next to it as optional choice

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2060S-Super-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1660-Ti/4049vs4037 

To end

around 80 to a 100 dollars worth for about 20% improvement in performance is more then worth it 
 

I wouldn't buy a 1660 ti either, but again, i wouldn't run a 1080p/60 display. 

 

And unless relying on NVENC or if you must have RTX, the 5700xt is the clear winner over the 2060s for less money, and almost catching up with the 2070s. Single digits delta.

 

 

 



Those deltas don't matter (in the now) on that type of display, and half the power is wasted. He could buy it to "future proof" his 60fps experience....but would be a damn shame if he didn't also get a 144hz display to take advantage of these cards' power during their prime.

ah mr worf. bloodstained eyes… heart pounding with blood lust, do not forget that the topic is the best gpu paired with a r3600. The choice though not really outlined remained the same to me, either the 1660Ti or the 5700 for 1080p 60 hz. your useless additions of not planning to go for 1080p 60 hz are really… uhm set for good war mentality.. blocking all the useless out, focus on your target, one kill strike. It is admirable though don't forget, this is still friendly territory and the rules of engagement are so much broader then only stab stab stab. 

i have to admit, after witnessing the results for the 5700xt i kinda question my motives for buying a 2060super from aorus for around 550 euro's but.... with total war as main game at the point of buying you can see in these results that amd is not really compatible with total war since even the 5700xt draws equal fps under similar conditions… not to mention the fact that a bit of quality is appreciated by myself. You can drive a skoda but volkswagen does it a little better right?

so once again there is no need for you to show your bullheadedness, if the OP is keen on his money the 1660Ti Super or even the standard version will probably perform just as well as the 2060super or the 5700(XT)

my advice concerning the 5700, pci4 slot AMD compatibility, pref the same company as you bought your motherboard from still stands.... Higher tier cards will always perform better, no matter hz fps or resolution. The computer biss runs just as much on value aspects as it does on technicalities  

I'll probably get the 5700 because I'd still like to use it in about 5ish years time with playable fps (because of university)

Totally agree on this.  At some point you just have to make a decision and go with it because there is always something new just over the horizon.  I mean we should have Big Navi and Nvidia full line of Ampere cards coming out in 6-9 months so now is really not the time to be buying anything GPU related....unless you need something GPU related then you just have to try to pick the best option and roll with it.
