simple specs im using 

 

B350M BAZOOKA

AMD Ryzen5 1600x Six-Core Proccessor

HyoerX 16gb

evga 450w 80+ bronze

 

 

Any advice for which gpu i should choose for 1080p gaming..  i just have a decent 1080p widescreen Dell Monitor using Dvi, nothing to fancy.

i was thinking of 1660 super or TI variant, but also considering rtx 2060.  i just am not sure with the restriction of my psu being 450W.  

any advice would be appreciated.

450 watt PSU is recommended for the GTX 1660 ti, and a 500 watt PSU recommended for the RTX 2060.

I bought an Asus Dual 1660ti before the 2060 dropped enough in price to make it a consideration, if I had the choice now I would go for the 2060 but I don't want to give you the impression that the Ti is in any way a bad card!

 

I'm playing World of Tanks and Armored Warfare at 144hz 1080p at high settings and getting 200fps plus with minimums of around 160fps in more intensive moments.

 

Either card should suit you fine tbh and I upgraded from an Asus 970 Strix.

my GTX970 ran just fine with most titles at high settings.  i would still be using that, but it died on me.. i currently reverted to an old card i have lying around from quite a while back which is a R9 270x,  and it just isnt cutting it.. lol..

 

but yea my main 2 i was considering was the 1660 or the 2060..  but if i choose a 2060 i probably will need to upgrade my psu

If you can afford it upgrading your PSU wouldn't be a bad thing no matter which card you go for.

Sry about that.. lol..  

 

Do you thing the DDR6 on the 1660Super would be better over the ddr5 on the 1660ti?  I'm looking for best performance..

The ti outperforms the 1660 super but it's only by about 5% so it's up to you if you want to pay the extra.

Both have GDDR6 VRAM, I would go for the Super because of the better price.
