1660S is a very nice upgrade over the 1050Ti for sure. 

There's the 2060KO that's a little over 300 usually but also quite loud. 

 

I'd say wait another 2 weeks before buying because Nvidia is said to launch the new 3000 series soon, which might drive prices down

R5 5600X - Cryorig C7 - Asus ROG B350-i - EVGA RTX2060KO - 16gb G.Skill Ripjaws V 3333mhz - Corsair SF450 - 500gb 960 EVO - LianLi TU100B

in the USA, if you are buying at 270, you should consider for new prices a 5600 XT 14gbps model or a used GTX 1080 IMO

i5-14600KF // 120x38MM Cooler Master AIO // B760i // 64GB DDR5 6000 // PNY RTX 5070 // Cooler Master NCORE 100 Max // Cooler Master V SFX-850 Gold // UWQHD AOC Display

What's your res and refresh rate? I would recommend a 1660Ti/1660S, or even a EVGA RTX 2060 KO. It depends on what your budget is.

The GTX 1660S is a really good upgrade from the GTX 1050Ti, but if you find the RX 5600XT for about 270$, that'll be even better.

The 5700xt's have issues although I have a 5700 (non xt) and amd drivers have worked flawlessly so far.

 

A 5600xt with the updated bios is the best bang for your buck right now.

I haven't purchased a used one before, but it seems sound from a cost savings perspective.

 

Some people have had issues, some haven't. I haven't had any issues with my 5700xt.

 

AMD has claimed to have fixed many of the issues.

 

Hard to say.

Had I known about the updated bios, I would have gone for a 5600xt and saved a few dollars...
