GPU Upgrade

I'm looking at potentially upgrading my GPU. I currently have a 1050ti and am looking at getting a 1660 super.

 

I'm based in New Zealand so the 1660super cost around $420.

 

Do you think this would be a worth while upgrade or would it be better to wait until the next series of Nvidia GPUs come out, or even potentially look at the AMD options.

 

Just had a quick check on user benchmark, the 5600xt is around $100 more and doesn't have a huge advantage over the 1660super.

it all depends on what you can't do with your current card.

If you have a game you want to play and you can't, then upgrading is worth it. However, new Nvidia cards are coming out soon, so if you can hold out, I would wait a few months.
