What to buy

[zinizal]

Hello Hello,

 

I´m in the market for a new GPU but can´t decide on what to get. At the moment I run a 1050 (yes I know it´s bad) at i´m thinking on getting a 1660 (super or not don´t know) or a 5600 XT.

Don´t know if the price gap between the 1660 and 5600XT is worth the small gain in power. Does my AMD 2700x like a AMD GPU more than a Nvidia?

Any ideas on what to get? If not the 5600xt or 1660 what do you think I should get in that price range?

 

Maybe even go up a step to the RTX 2060 or the 5700XT

the 5600 XT is a decent step up in performance.

 

I'd say for your current price range these are some of the best options

where are you located? In my country, currently the best bang for buck is Sapphire 5600XT Pulse. Costs less, than a 1660Super GamingX MSI.

 

It would be nice to know, what are your options  The 1050 is not bad IMHO, it is just an entry level card, several years old, not up to date. Neither was it intended to be a HC Gamer GPU. Thereby, it cannot be compared to a 1660super or 5600xt. Different niche, different price range.

5600 XT is a huge gain in performance over 1660. Now vs 1660 Super it's much closer. For 5600 XT, it's about 14% over 1660 Super at 1440p without the BIOS update, or about 25% if your card does support the BIOS update and you install it.

 

1660 is kind of a crap card that should be avoided. 1660 Super is much better than 1660, at least for US prices.

RX 5600XT definitely. Also, a CPU can't "favour" a graphics card manufacturer. Only games do that sometimes.
