I’m ready for an upgrade from my not exactly world beating 1050 Ti and the 1660 at this price point with that performance ticks all the boxes. But, I need to upgrade my psu and I can’t get the 24 pin plug out of my motherboard to stick the replacement in.
I would say not worth it.The VRAM increase will be useful for a number of games but best to wait until Navi or the Nvidia equivalent if you can.Is this worth an upgrade over the GTX1060 3gb with an i5-4590? Single screen, 1080P....
No. The VRAM increase will be useful for some games but best to wait until Navi or the Nvidia equivalent if you can.
The GTX1660TI and RX590 or Navi? The equivalent 7NM Nvidia series might be months after Navi but 7NM should mean a bigger performance bump than now.Thanks. To be honest I'm hanging over a full system upgrade anyway. Will there be much of a difference between this and an Nvidia version?
Ah, I'm showing my lack of knowledge here. I was asking GTX1060 3gb vs GTX1660 Nvidia, not AMD cards.
Thanks @Gibbo even with my current CPU, i5-4590?
It would be my choice too if we are just strictly comparing pricing, but the RE2, DMC5, The Division 2 essentially making it £150~£160 RX590 vs £210~£240 GTX1660.I'm going to be a dissenting voice here. I have got the Powercolour 590. Great performance and runs cool, but a bit power hungry and noisy. Wattman can help the latter, but regularly defaults to standard settings for reasons that are never clear to me . For me a 1660GTX would be quieter, cheaper, and a little faster. I have a fairly tight £200 budget so that will be my preferred route.

I see them being sold quite quickly even in MM with RE2 and DMC5 fetching average £15-20 each, and The Division 2 at average £25?That's optomistic, those games aren't selling for 50 quid a pop.
