1660 vs RX 580

[lucas]

What’s better in terms of price for performance. I know the 1660 performs better but it being more expensive than the RX 580 what would be more efficient.

ask your friend tht has no clue of hardware to go buy u a new gpu and give him money and send him to the store with one goal, a gpu


u got enaugh comments to decide in previous topic.

gtx-970 will outperform 1660 depending on what game you play

gtx 970 will also outperform 3dfx Voodoo5 9000

[_I_]

the voodoo5 is agp, cant driectly compare them on similar builds

gtx 1660 is stronger than rx580 and uses less power

dont look at the specs, amd and nvidia do the work in different methods

I've seen the 1660 for $215/220 it's worth it imo.

i like amd but that 1060 is a beast man, i own the rx580 runs anything maxed out with the right cpu

that statement is subjective.. it might be able to run any game maxed out but at what resolution and framerate? at 1080p i would say you are mostly right but there will be some games it won't achieve above 60fps always even at 1080p max settings.

like i said depending on the cpu, and easily im running most games on 2133x1440p which in reality frames will drop on some games easily but then again theres not one system that is considered perfect. if i drop the reso to lets say 900p any game will run playable easily. but since most people like to base budget systems off of 4k demands and ultra then nope, get the rtx 2080ti for 100fps in 4k. yep 1080p i run most games, then again my cpu isnt a 6 core either, me i like the rx580 more than the 1060 because im an AMD man

If you can afford it, the 1660 is better in general performance than the RX 580. The RX 580 traded blows with the 1060, and the 1660 is a straight upgrade from the old 1060.

Granted, if you intend to have a whole new build, the RTX 2060 that is the GTX 20-series replacement for the 1060 is better than the 1660 TI as well.

Basically

1660 is better than RX 580 AND GTX 1060.
GTX 1660 TI is better than a normal 1660
RTX 2060 is better than a 1660 TI.

If you can afford a 1660 / 1660 TI but not 2060, get the 1660 / 1660 TI.

If you can afford a 2060, get it, it'll be better and more future-proof.

If you can find a 2060 for near 300, then I'd just go with it. The 1660 TI was around 280 USD or so last I looked on Amazon, whereas the 2060s start at about 350 USD. I'd just say that if you're upgrading a current PC, get the 1660, if you're doing a new build, just go ahead and grab a 2060, it'll be more future-proof than a 1660 or 1660 TI.

Price of card / FPS = Cost per frame

For example:
$180 card / 60 FPS = $3.00 per frame
$215 card / 70 FPS = $3.07 per frame

In this hypothetical situation, the first card is the better value. But I imagine most gamers would pay $35 if they could get 10 more frames. If I were you I would check out benchmarks for the games you play to compare the cards.

Just found RX 580 for 120 pounds on gumtree good deal or not should i buy

If that's what you want and the price is affordable to you sure.

No body can really tell you what to buy.

The Rx 580 is mid range and it's priced accordingly.

[zejcik.]

yes

thats were you are kind of wrong, a mid range is 1050ti mid range in my opinion is the same as entry level, the rx 580 if lets say 1080p will easily run almost anything maxed out just saying

1050 Ti is the lowestc ard in the line up. The only car lower of the GTX Lineup is the 1050 Non-Ti.

If you lsit all the cards:

1050
1050 Ti
1060
1070
1070 Ti
1080
1080 Ti

you see that 1070 is the exact mid of the GPU lineup. The RX580 on the same level as 1060 is definetly below mid range and the 1050 is no where close to the mid also not performancewise while a 1050 Ti is 70-90% behind a RX580.
