GTX 1660 TI vs RX 5600-XT

[DunnieDash3]

Help me decide! studied these to hell, and they seem to be almost par. Will be purchasing this Friday along with my PSU and will have a completed build!

CPU is Ryzen 5 3600.
512 GB of nvme ssd.
2 8 sticks of ribjaws 3200 hz

5600 xt is better than the 1660 ti.

I think the better comparison is against the 2060 KO.

Similar price, but you don't have to upgrade the VBIOS on the NVidia card.

5600XT is a mess. No way to know what you'll get (will vram work at new frequency or only gpu etc), no way to be sure that updated vbios will work on specific card, will cooling be enough, will power dilivery be enough etc.
Honestly i'd avoid it for this reason alone.
Then there is whole navi driver mess...
At least if you specifically want AMD get 5700 (just beware of broken drivers), otherwise some version of 2060 IMO is a better option.

i'd probably just go to a 5700/5700xt but your choice.

No reason to get either when the 1660 Super exists

I see! Thank you guys for your insight! Definitely have some deciding to do!

You can get GTX 1660 Super for $230, basically same as 1660 Ti with only few fps difference:

Beats messing with AMD driver problems and the overall opinion of people on 5600 XT is not exactly been positive.

I've seen negative things in that regard of black screens and driver updates being needed to fix it which can be a bit of a murky world :s

And to be totally honest I've began thinking of going with the 590 OC. A bit cheaper and certainly a bit of dropoff in power but it seems to be respectable for its price point

I would honestly not get a RX 590. What is the budget you want to spend on a GPU???

[L37]

I've used rx580 and did not have any issues with it. Everything worked well, unlike 5700xt i had for short amount of time.
Performance... for 1080p 60fps it is fine. Anything higher than that and it will start to be limiting for newer games.
And IMO card itslef is still a good choice if you can find it cheap enough and do not want to pay more to get to ~2060 super level...
