Dilemma in choosing gpu

[FK2tame]

Hello there, my system setup is i5 8th gen, 2x8gb 2666mhz, sf600 and i got dual monitor setup (1440p 144hz + 1080p 60hz)

I'm in dilemma choosing gpu for my system. I rarely gaming on my pc, but if i do, getting a nice (not the best) quality and acceptable fps is enough i think.

The GTX 1060 is the go-to card for entry-level gaming, but the 1660 is a strong contender. The 1660 will get you 60+ FPS in all but the most demanding games, but I've only tested it on 1080p with a R5 2600 (OC to 3.9GHz)

the rx 580 has a better value

I suppose you're right, I just have always had a headache with AMD cards, and seeing as this person probably doesn't want to (and may not know how to) deal with GPU problems, I just recommended what's worked for me. I don't disagree, the RX 580 has better value.

i have a 1060 myself and i do agree that its basically hassle free.

$250 to $600. but maybe i don't want to spend all the budget just for the gpu.

Well for 250ish you can find a used 1070ti 

350ish either a 2060 super or a 5700 

400-500ish 

5700xt 

600 isn't really a price point for gpus today

between $340 (GTX 1080) and $270 (GTX 1070 Ti) which is better choice?

They're close to each other 

1070ti imo.

Your requirements seem at odds with your suggestions.

 

An RX570 or 580 is a solid value option for an entry level GPU that will run most games "well enough". The 1060 tends to cost a bit more and the 3 and 6gb version perform roughly in line with 570/580 respectively, but also fits you requirements.

 

Jumping up to a 1070ti will clearly give you a better experience, but its also way beyond "just enough" and costs twice as much as you can find a RX580 for...

I've had used 1070 and vega 64 before this. My personnel experience with amd card was not so good (stuttering, driver crash) and I got 1440p 144hz G-Sync monitor. A lil upgrade from my 1070 before this might be enough I guess.
