So I just purchased a 1660 Ti then did some poking around and it seems the 5700 XT is sorta the best value card right now. It costs about$190au more than the 1660 Ti but I've got some free credit to spend. Hopefully I can get those credits back if I returned the 1660.

 

It's been a while since I've had an AMD card. Switched over to Nvidia due to gaming issues.

How much you bought the 1660 Ti? Also why not 1660 Super?

$479, I thought it was better than the super ? Super is around $420 for the same card.

I would have no idea to be honest. That'd have to be the latest batch right?

Because 1660s is almost on par with 1660 Ti. 

You don't need to flash 5700 XT, even if you did the process it is pretty simple. 

 

AMD current driver stability is kinda mixed bag tbh.

Yes, 1660S basically killed it. 

 

Yeah, I don't have 1st hand experience though, maybe you can share your experience if you upgrade to 5700XT.
