oh yeah, the 1060 will do fine for the next few years. there's always pressure to upgrade but in reality, if you're fine with decreasing graphics settings a little, there's really no point in dropping over $250 on another graphics card. i would do a cpu upgrade before a gpu upgrade, hands down.

Jay, what are your thoughts regarding budget builds and the current graphics environment? Last year several channels did builds in the $300 to $500 range using the 2200G or 2400G to avoid the insane (at the time) graphics and memory markups. What is the current upgrade path? Another 8 gigs of memory and a 1660 TI? Replace a slow 8 gig kit with a fast 16 gig and a 1660? Straight to the 2060? Thanks for what you do!

[@thecraftedalliance]

Go straight to the 2060 if you were planning on buying a 1660 or the ti already it’s not that much more. That’s the general census about GPUs currently since it’s 50% more performance in a 2060 over 1660ti for only roughly 30% more price along with the features of DLSS and ray tracing if you even feel the need to. The ram the case is almost any type of ram can reach 2933mhz fairly easily and past that frequency there’s not as major gains on ryzen so I’d get 16gbs of total system memory. If you do not have an SSD yet that is the biggest upgrade you can make on a system I believe personally and so do many others even if it’s a small 60gb one just to hold windows you’ll notice the difference in programs not just startup. Hopefully that helps. :)

[@johnmoore1495]

Are you running 2x4GB sticks with 2 slots or 4 slots? If 4 slots then I'd say just get another set of 2 sticks. RAM speed isn't going to make that big of a difference unless you got bottom shelf 2133-2400mhz RAM. If you're purely going for value I'd say get a 1660 and another 8GB. However if you really want to spend a set amount of money then I'd say get the 1660Ti with another 8GB of RAM over a 1660 with a new set of 16 GB of RAM. 1-2. GTX 1660 with 8GB of RAM. (Value) 1-2. GTX 1660Ti with 8GB of RAM. (More likely to increase performance than option 3) 3. GTX 1660 with a new 16GB kit.

Nvidia's like shopping in the supermarket. 12oz can of beer is now 10oz. Pound of coffee is now 14oz. Snickers bar is a touch smaller also. All of it's designed so we think we're getting the usual, and with Nvidia, we're getting a more powerful card to replace our 1060. Am sure they will launch a 1670 and 1680 soon. And they still got the 17, 18 and 1900's to fill. Other than confusing the consumer, which is pretty normal, they at least keep all the KZbin channels busy running benchmarks!

[@perrydickerson9055]

The grocery store people invented modern marketing, a spot on observation.

[@XZagatoX]

They will NEVER release "the 17, 18 and 1900's to fill" in the current state of the GPU market. We should rather hope that Intel and AMD actually stick it to Nvidia and compete, but it seems like a stretch that Nvidia would cannibalize their own lineup

[@wasd____]

Well, except they're not. You're not getting *less* performance for the same money as compared to previous generations. You're getting more. It'd be like the grocery store upsizing their packaging so that now you're getting 20oz in a "pound of coffee" instead of 16oz. Also, your video card isn't like coffee. It doesn't run out regularly, and you're not likely to keep buying new ones unless you actually need one because your old one broke or just can't hack it anymore. I get that people are butthurt that cards aren't getting both faster *and* cheaper at the same time, or at least justifying the price of the new generation with ridiculous huge performance leaps, but we're not in the era of Moore's law anymore. Something had to give. But the value proposition in terms of processing power per dollar is overall still getting better, not backsliding.

Trying to save up, then spending it on cars and other necessary stuff.. New washing machine, two sets of tires to two cars, car parts, traveling to visit family, having to pay back taxes.. Last year was a nightmare and I'm still feeling it. Wanted to build a good pc aiming for a 1070Ti, but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen this year either. But I guess there's always next year.

Fun test would be to lower any cuda core heavy setting on games, like from ultra to high and test this GPUs performance again at 1440p.

I still got a GTX 770 and will upgrade at some point this year. I guess RTX 2060 got the best value for its price. I can see it for about 360€ here in GER. I think I paid about the same for my 770 back in the days when it came out, so if we consider inflation that's actually not so much more expensive.

[@TheBod76]

Well the "successor" of the 770 should be the 2070 though, now compare its price with the price for your old 770. I highly doubt you paid >500€ for it.

[@tonylawlor8833]

Thank you Jay.

[@puffnstuff12]

I went through a similar decision when my gtx 780ti failed and I had to replace it. I could've ponied up for a rtx 2070 but Newegg had the Zotac gtx 1080 amped for $440 so I went that route.

[@jopenope1016]

To answer your question: is prefer to save my cheque to step it up to the next tier. However, I didn't need to: I'm only gaming at 60hz 1080p. I opted for a 1660 super (Amp from Zotac) for my system and it's been performing extremely well. If I wanted to game at 144hz 1080p I would definitely step it up up to 1070/ti or 2070. It's all down to preference and how dedicated you are to the games and frames you wanna play

[@austinlewis542]

When I first got into pc building, I got duped by the 1060 3GB. Even doing a good amount of research I was only able to determine that the difference was that frame buffer (which obviously wasn’t actually the case) because I thought “Oh I’ll only ever play at 1080p, I don’t need a 6GB card, I can save the 60 or so dollars!” And I’m still a little bitter to this day, so I’m glad to see Nvidia isn’t pulling that trash again with Turing

[@ThatGuy56326]

Austin Lewis “even doing a good amount of research” im no genius but just about everyone tries to steer people away from 3gb cards. And i know no one recommended that card.

[@strikepaw1]

That Guy The only people who recommended that card where fanboys.

[@domino52o26]

I didn't even know a 3gb version existed until after I bought the 1060 6gb

[@austinlewis542]

That Guy yeah at the time no one was making videos berating the 3GB, I had to look at product pages and then look up “what does 3GB mean?” And I even found forums being like “oh yeah the performance dividend shouldn’t be huge” so I got pranked real hard. About to upgrade to a 2060 so I’m excited (I have a stable 5ghz on my i5-8600k so that will be a nice performance bump to my system)

[@strikepaw1]

Lost Khajiit NEWS FLASH: I never said anything about navi neither am I too excited about it.

[@tylermills79]

I just got a powercolor 5700xt red devil for my build and I’m honestly extremely impressed with it. It wasn’t even a budget limitation the thing just punches far above its weight as a mid range card. I just wasn’t seeing the performance jump to justify the hundreds and hundreds of extra dollars for a 2070 or 2080. Now in a year or so when rtx is more mature that will probably be a different story but by then there might be some Navi cards in the high end as well.

[@bryndaldwyre3099]

Seriously Jay, I have to keep scrolling back when watching your vids cos you can be so dang hilarious. I have no idea how Phil manages to not shake the camera from laughing so much. Also, I saved my money and went for the 2060 6gb. I managed to get it for $469 aud when I bought it last year in June the day before the price of it went up to $529 aud. It's currently sitting at $499 aud and it's been well worth the buy. I run all games at 3440x1440 and it never raises a sweat.

[@ovidiucozac4680]

You should've waited 1 day...

[@Mukuro-Ikusaba]

I'm still wondering why they didn't place the 1660 and 1660ti with the rest of the lineup in terms of naming. Imo it should have been GTX2060 / GTX 2060ti / RTX2060 / RTX 2070 / RTX 2080. As they all use the turing architecture and the gtx versions simply have the ray tracing feature stripped away. Putting these two cards in the 11 series lineup must make them look like last generation cards for anyone not keeping up with tech.

[@ignasanchezl]

The name we expected was 11XX for non Ray tracing cards BUT NVIDA SAYS 16 IS BETWEEN 10XX AND 20XX

[@TheHengeProphet]

Essentially, if you ALREADY have a 1060 6GB, the cost of upgrading to a 1660ti wouldn't be worth your money. Save the money toward a better card later on, or other possible components, like faster RAM.
