I am a casual gamer, do I really need a 1660? Games that I play run fine on my 1060 3gb apart from some cpu intensive ones which are held back by my 2400g. Even bf5 runs great on medium 60fps.

  • B550 Aorus Elite V2 Rev1.2
  • G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3600Mhz 32gb (8gb x4)
  • MSI Mech 2X RX6600 8GB GDDR6
  • Deepcool AK620 WH
  • Deepcool CK500 WH
  • WD SN770 500gb + WD Blue 1tb HDD, Sn550 1tb + MX500 1000gb
  • Antec EAG Pro 750 80+G

Think you answered your own question lol

 

Besides, the 1660 isn't that much far off from a 1060- only thing you might find a lack in is vram. But considering you said you're performing just fine, then don't worry about it.
