2060 vs 1660 Super - Worth paying 75€ more?

AntiSpiral

Hellouu!!

So I was about to buy a GTX Super for 206€ and realized that there GTX 2060 cost 280€. 
So basic question: is it worth it the over 30% increased cost of the GTX?
Note1: no, I won't use GTX very likely

Note2: I use it for content creation: video edition and live streaming while gaming on Twitch 

Thanks in advance!! ❤️

Both have nvec so no loss there 

As to if it's with the extra money ? 

I mean the 2060 is faster. And there is a noticeable difference. Look at benchmarks and decide if it is worth it or not for you.

2060 is mid end, 1660s is for low end.
If you drill down the specs, 2060 have 1,920 coda cores, while 1660 super have 1,408.

That's a massive difference, especially if you use CUDA (premiere / AE).

I checked some games benchs and it's between a 10 and 20% fps upgrade

If you think that's Worth it and you want the extra performance then go for it 

I can't really decide for you, if it's worth it or not as I have different workloads and I could value one thing less or more compared to you.

The 5700 coats the same as the 2060 price you gave and performs about 20% better, that's why I mentioned it

RX580 is still pretty good for 1080p 60fps.

For premiere, you won't get a noticable boost using 2060.

A CPU upgrade is a better option.

Right now when I'm streaming CoD, it swallows 100% of the GPU....and it's annoying while between games doing other stuff. I've another PC with a 1050ti, less FPS for sure, but GPU usage is much flexible for multitasking on streaming. That's what it make me think to upgrade....that and it's freaking loud and drains way too much PSU usage

Yes, autocorrect is responsible for that typo. Just get the cheapest model with a decently sized dual fan cooler (not a tiny shit one like the KO)

Brands don't mean anything. EVGA have plenty of horrid products and even some which are flat out fire hazards (the W1 and N1 power supplies for example). The KO cooler runs super hot and super loud and is an overall nightmare to deal with.

That sounds like a defective fan or cooler. The nitro is among the coolest cooler designs on the market as a whole

It's a hot GPU....to sustain a decent temperature it has to go over 65% speed....therefore noise is bad

you might be using nvenc, for streaming 2060 would surely give you pretty good boost.
