Has there been anything to suggest a 1660S replacement is coming soon? If Nvidia are releasing their high end cards first (like they usually do), then surely there'd be no point in waiting for new releases if they're going to be way out of your price range, no?

No info at the moment I don't think. You could get a better deal when new cards come out tho. Could be just 2/3 weeks
 
Companies dont usually drop their prices as soon as new cards are released. Especially if there is no stock. A 1660 replacement might not be till next year. This "you could get a better deal when new cards come out" thinking is just that, wishful thinking.

1660 Super is a stonkingly good card for 1080p if you can get a decent price now.

I agree. The release of a 3080 isn't going to affect the price of the 1660 Super. If you're looking for a low-mid range card, there's no point in waiting.
 
I agree, I doubt the new graphic's card release affect the prices sadly... :(

Do you think I made a decent choice with the 1660 card?

I have been reading about numerous driver issues with the AMD graphic's cards - Which is why I have decided to go with NVIDA :)
