Gtx 1660 ti or rtx 2060 or rx 580?

trolouce

Looking at upgrading my gpu, but im also working on another build(for someone else), so cant spend all my money on a gpu, im upgradeing from an r9 380 and am thinking about the 1660 ti, but i dont want something 1 fan as it will most likely get loud, and look odd in the case, so a decent 2 fan card, so about 400 cnd for a 1660, 500cnd for a 2060, or 300cnd for a 580 which apparently went down. when you keep in mind the price difference is a set of ram or a case i feel the 1660 is worth it over the 580, but im unsure about the non-rtx performance of the 2060 vs the 1660 being worth the price difference.

As its a smaller performance jump, and i wont be useing the extra features.

On the side though, the rx 580 comes with 2 games, 2060 comes with 1, and 1660 comes with none.

Are you playing on 1080p 60hz?

If so, you really don't need anything more than the 580.

If you want a 1070 used here is about 300-350 so that would be great,otherwise I would get 580+games

1660 Ti is great value, but the 2060 is the most powerful, which will make a difference if you decide to go to a 1440p display.

It is good a good card, but since OP wants 2 or more fan card, then it gets too expensive for what it is, speaking of 1660 Ti of course. 1070 Strix or some of EVGA cards can be had for a lot less, and since they are almost the same, and 1070 has 8GB of RAM it would be a better choice imo.

1660ti is perfect for 1080p 60hz maxed out most games. It will also do 1440p on high/ultra at most games at or above 60hz.

(My father just bought the gigabyte dual fan one and is using it on a 75hz freesync monitor, it's a lot quieter and better performing than his old sapphire rx480) 

 

That being said, a 2060 will get you about 15-20 percent more performance vs a 1660ti and will keep you at a higher framerate on a 144hz 1440p monitor.

 

Any of the above cards will work fine for 1080p 60, but depending on how high of a refresh rate 1440p monitor you are considering for the future, you may want to look at the 2060 over the 1660ti.
