Graphics card questions

[Dan Pablo-Techy]

Is a zotac Gaming GeForce gtx 1660 super 6gb dual fan a good graphics card? It is pretty good value for how expensive graphics cards are now. I’m using a ryzen 5 5600x cpu as well and 32gb of G.skill tridentz ram. Does this seem like a good system.

It all comes down to price to determine whether or not it is a good value.

It cost $650 usd for the graphics card and the entire build costs $2,100 usd

Yikes!!! My RTX 2080 was ~$600 open boxed in Sept.2019... that's nearly double the cost of the card regularly if it weren't for the shortage. 

 

Do you have a PCPartPicker list with the entire build in mind?? I wouldn't spend $2,100 for a PC with a 5600X installed and 1660 Super.

Yeah I thought it was a bit expensive but I couldn’t find anything better.

     I wouldn't recommend buying that card. The card costs more than a 3070 right now, I'd recommend buying one of those scalped right now if you can. If you're on a tight budget, you should consider swapping out your case, ram, storage and mobo and upgrading later on. I had a 1660 super in my old system, and I built it for $1000. Considering your system is double the cost, your GPU would be the major bottleneck. Even getting a used RTX 2000 if you can would be a better option. A 2070 super costs around the same on eBay right now, so that would be a much better value, considering its retail is around 500 or so.

I managed to snag a 1650 Super with my Ryzen 5 2600x back in June which was suprising for me, costed me abotu $530 for it all together

You can fit a RTX 3070 graphics card in there for the right price. You can swap out the Corsair 3-pack of case fans for whatever you'd like. NZXT case will be a hot box and won't recommend.

Hello everyone. I am having an issue with my gaming rig. I can only assume it’s my power supply or my gpu. As my gpu is only getting a third of the frames it was before.
