I built my first gaming PC with a 1660s and an r5 5600g, and Holly Cow, it performed much better than anything I have ever gamed on. I even overclocked it to 2100mhz on the core clock (and overclocked the cpu as well to 4.65 ghz) and broke the 3dmark timespy all-time highscore for this combination (7008 points if i remember correctly). Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.
@Dragoon867 sure driver support will be longer for the 1660 but it's not like nvidia is not going to give up on the 10 series card anytime soon when even the 9 series are getting updates lol
Man.. takes me back. I got a EVGA 1660 Ti XC back when they first came out for $225 shipped. Crazy how prices have fallen now and people can get their hands on the 1660 experience now.
I bought my 1660 Ti XC Ultra for $289 back in 2019, now 3 years later, the RTX 3050 is always above $300 price tag in amazon, and have the same exact performance, the stagnation of price/performance is insane right now
I picked up a 1660S late summer during the height of the crypto drought. Actually managed to get it locally for about $120USD, I couldn't believe my luck! It performs great, 1440p is doable for most games. RDR2 on medium/high @ 50-60fps is pretty respectable imo. Used it until recently, when I came across a 5700XT for $150USD and just couldn't pass it up. A 25-40% performance lift, plus extra VRAM for about $25USD is hard to ignore.
my first pc was a i3 10100f and a gtx 1650 super from msi. it wasnt the best looking but i was very proud of it because i built it myself. it wasnt the most powerful but i got almost 3 years out of it before i upgraded mainly because i wanted to feel again the proudness of building a pc again (and r6 siege :). the point is that even a budget build will get you through the years and will make you happy especially if you come from a 2012 family laptop like i did
did one of y'all's bitfenix case builds with my friends 1660s he sent me (3070s were all $2k at this point) and this thing has not let me down once, plays everything i want (mostly apex and overwatch) at 140fps easy, such a good card tbh
yeah in my country theres gtx 1660 super at that exact price in online app shops. but i picked up an rx 6600 xt from a used seller for $177 which is a bargain and in really good condition
I recently upgraded my 1650 to a 1660super for my E3-1285Lv3. So far, so good. I'm impressed with what I can do with a decade-old build with seamless incremental upgrades. Update: new upgrade, 2060Super. The Xeon still holds up.
My test system is running a PNY blower style 1660 Super, Ryzen 5 5500, 16gb Crucial Balistix 3200mhz RAM, 1TB nvme ssd, 4tb spinning rust drive, and an Evga 600w psu and I see very similar performance, I too believe the 1660s isn't talked about enough. Great video. Keep up the awesome work! I originally got the super for $230 around the start of the pandemic (I fried my 980ti :( )
I have the Palit Stormx model (single-fan) and this card is a little beast. It can handle just about anything I throw at it. I was a bit surprised that it handled Elden Ring and Red Dead Redemption 2 at 1080p +60 fps.
I have it for almost 2 years now but its Asus Evo dual oc edition...And I have it paired with r5 5500....And I never got disappointed and in a next year or so I will still not plan to upgrade anything...Gaming on high specs AAA titles on a AOC 165hz monitor no probs!

I've just upgraded to a 6800XT but I think the 1660 Super has a ligitmate case to be called the greatest GPU ever created. Its price to perfomance ratio when it was released up to this day is mind blowing. It's insane how versitile this card is.
I have that same gpu. I just replaced it a few days ago with an rtx 3060 ti. It lasted 3 years for me and it worked AMAZING!!!! I got good frames and it was very cheap. I highly recommend this card for a budget.
@@ulfricstormcloak7142 Im currently using a intel i5-9400F, its a little old but its enough to keep up with the 3060 ti, but i highly recommend to get the intel i9-11900k it has a perfect match and a 0.8% calculated bottlenecking which is good.
@Benjiman this "calculated bottleneck" thing isn't always right, especially in this case. You don't need an i9 at all not to bottleneck a 3060ti, any i5 (or even i3 if you're doing 1440p) from the last 2-3 generations would have a 0% bottleneck with a 3060ti in pretty much all intents and purposes.

My first ever desktop was an extremely budget Dell prebuilt, and while I could and did upgrade it, it was very restricting. Building one yourself especially for your first pc is a lot more rewarding and worth it for the future. I ended up building one years later and I'm never buying a prebuilt for myself again.

Just got my gf a used alienware aurora for her school and it came with 32gb ram, a 1070 which is better than this 1660 super and even the 1660ti variant. Computer runs great and got it for $500. The used market is where it's at
Find a family member or friend who has built a pc before and see if they can help you for your first time. I had a friend help me with my first build and he walked me through it and made me feel more comfortable with the parts. Eventually I built my own pc years later after watching a bunch of youtube tutorials and taking it slow one step at a time. Its scary at first but very rewarding in the end. Do all the research you can and give building it a shot
I'd love to see some older Intel stuff paired with the 1660 super. I have two 1660 supers and two 1660 ti's that I acquired all recently for around $130 each. The ti is obviously a better deal but only 5% better.
I shoved one in a small optiplex 790 that had a i7 2600. It had a 500w psu hanging out of the side, lmao. It was pretty solid tbh. Ended up putting it with a 9600k, then traded it and some cash for a 1080ti. It is a great little card I would recommend to get into gaming.
Just built a i7 6700, 32gb ram, air cooled, picked this exact card up off of FB Marketplace for 140 and it crushes. I've since bought 5 more of these cards used from various places for older builds.. Cant go wrong with having a couple of these laying around lol.
"It crushes" compared to what?, these cards aren't even all that I would had went gtx 1070 which crushes both this 1660 super and 1660ti and it's cheaper lol. Idk what's all the hype on this card
@ArtisChronicles space fitment? Fair enough but if fitment isn't an issue, then idk why this card is more expensive than the 1070 when its clearly inferior to it
@@jponz85 1070 is a decent card too that said in the used market by me they are selling in the 350-400 range when they do pop up (very rare and I scoop them when they do if they are priced right), where the 1660 pops up a lot at 130-160. So for my budget flips it makes since. That said these are flips, i have a bunch of 3060, 3080, 3090's on a shelf here just not using those in these flips..
I have this exact card for my main pc paired with i5 9400f and 16gb ram, and luckily sold it for almost $700 when peak mining season, then swap it for 3060. Couldn't be happier.
I run a 1660 super on my 4k monitor and it runs a lot of games including PUBG way above 60fps and in apex legends I get 85-90fps on max settings at 4k. I do have the settings at pretty much a minimum on all games but it still looks way better to me than 1440p any day.
my first gaming pc i built back in 2021 had a ryzen 7 5800x, zotac gaming 1660 super, 32gb ddr4 3200, msi gaming mobo, and a 212 rgb edition. bought the 1660 super on amazon for around 700$ which can get me a 3060 today.
Just built a PC with that DeskMeet case y’all made a video of using this GPU. I threw an rx 6600 in mine and it’s running everything well on my 1080p monitor.
I was poking at eBay a couple of days ago and there were GTX 1080 cards for $150, I'd go with one of those instead, as that's around 30% more performance for $20-30 (granted that's low % per $, but it's twenty bucks).
i have pc with 1660 super and Ryzen 5 5500 16Gb ram 3200mhz, SSD 512GB. Paid 500$ brand new from store Stil playing like 95% games on ultra on 1080p 60fps no problem I still think for 1080p, 60fps and SP games you are more then fine
It has a tdp of a 125 Watts, and requires a single six pin power connector on most models, but my Gigabyte OC card consumes upwards of a 145 Watts and requires an 8pin rather than a 6pin.
Get home from buying one new in the box for $140 off marketplace and this is the first video on UA-cam😂 Looking forward to my motherboard finally arriving next week and building my first pc.
I built my nephew a new gaming PC this past weekend: with his $700 budget, we went i5-13400f, MSI Pro B760-P WiFi, 4x8 GB 3600 MHz RAM and a 1 TB Sabrent Rocket PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. I loaned him an old MSI Gaming GTX 1060 6 GB GPU and he’s using an old 27” 1080P IPS panel a family member gave him. Would the GTX 1660 be a worthy upgrade if he’s planning to stay at 1080p gaming for a while?
For someone that has had the 8800gt, hd5850, gtx 960 and 1660 super in 2020 (upgraded to a second hand 2080s) the price is just okay (actually not even that) when you consider the card is 3.5 years old. A couple of years ago that would've meant the mid-range card would be 3 generations old and hopelessly outdated. If things don't change quickly the pc market is doomed..
I picked up this exact card just under a month ago for $50 CDN. The guy was selling it cheap because one of the fans was a little wobbly (which i plan on replacing both very soon). I have this paired with an i5 4690k and 16gb of ddr3 gskill xmp ram (yes, old tech, I know). Once i got all my setiings dialed in, this performs fairly well with the i5, but it obviously could do much, much better.You asked in this video if anyone wanted to see older Intel CPU's tested and I wanted to know if you would run some benchmarks with my specs (or as close as possible)? I'm curious to see what you guys are able to achieve.
These are going for $130 on ebay as lowest price buy it now for a working card, gtx 1080 is going for $145 with the lowest price working buy it now and more options around $160. I feel like that is the better deal unless you simply cant swing the extra $30.
i use this and an i3 12100f and its a great budget gaming pc i get around 120 fps on valorant and fortnite type games and 60 fps on triple a titles its a great card overall
Used a 1660s before the price hike for 1440p and 1440p UW(before FSR was a thing) and it ran smoothly with a mix of low-medium-high settings. Best budget card for 1440p as well especially with the release of FSR 2.0/1 now. FSR 1 sucked 🤣
lets go ahead and use that side rad for the intake aio. and exhaust 3 out the top. Could even pop a hole in that case and flip the psu around so it draws from it.
I got a good price on a 1660ti around Christmas, and I use that, but I know my FPS is limited by the processor I currently use. This is the pain of using an i5-6500. Also the card and most games do not exactly like running at 1920x1200
Toastybros great video, but im struggling on which parts to use my budget is less than £450 (around $500) and i want to use a amd 5600g and the graphics you used in this video if you have any pc designs or stuff i could use please let me know thanks.
My 9020 MT OPTIPLEX has i5-4590 CPU, MSI GEFORCE GTX 1650 D6 VENTUS XS OCV1, 32 GB RAM, EVGA 80+ GOLD PSU. I'm going to upgrade my CPU to i7-4790K with a new CPU cooler. Then I'll do an RGB case swap.
I use 1660 super with i3-8100 and 16gb ddr4 ram on my main computer and I get around 80-100 fps in fortnite medium settings at 1080p, so I recommend this card for low price.
sadly that card is $200 - $300 CAD on my used local market. some ppl are still trying to gouge on the price used for s 1660 super. Similar prices in CAD for used 1660 super on AliExpress
Hi Toasty Bros, all the way from the UK! I'm going to be building a Budget PC to a degree! After watchiung your "This $120 Graphics Card is VERY Underrated!" And my question is, What "Motherboard & CPU" (at a cheap price as I do ONLY have £200ish to spend), do I Buy for my below optioned specs? I want to buy Ryzen 5, I hope also to buy DDR4 Ram x2 8GB 3200MHz, ( I already own 600W PSU & My GIGABYTE GTX 1060 6GB GPU + my 500GB SSD ), I have for the Windows 11 Installation + PC Case. So yes its a "Budget Build", (After all the above Maybe £60.00 / £80.00 left ), Gulp, my first ever go, so I can't afford to make a mistake, so this is why I've come to you my friend. It's going to be a struggle I know, for me because of my limited fiancial savings because of a substantial disability, but that won't hold me back, I will do it, pleasE with your help. I do have a DellOptiplex 9020 with a i5 4690 @3.50GHz Haswell, 32GB DDR3@798mh, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit... But I want to run Windows11, (Future Proof). So Please, please can you helpfully advise me, thanking you in advance.
1660 Super ain't bad for 1080p with some settings tweaks in harder to run games. Was enough for me to play RDR2 at 1080p 60fps using Hardware Unboxed's recommended settings. Not a bad buy around $100 used but you'd have to be nuts to buy them new where they still sell $230 when you can still find RX 6650 XT new for $250.
This is quite similar to my setup. Same CPU, another B550 mobo (in my case Aorus), 16 gb of RAM (3200 mhz in my case) and a regular GTX 1660 (not Super nor Ti). Quite happy with it and you can play most games in 1080p with high settings with no problem. Obviously I didn't pay 500 $ as my computer was bought during that time when prices were insane (and in some cases still are) and because in Europe PC parts are much more expensive than in the USA.
A friend of mine, here in the UK, found an RX5700XT for about the same price as 1660S/Tis over here. If these were going for US prices here they'd be budget champs but as it stands the 5700XTs are the ones to get in the UK right now. At least these are 12U compliant so they'll keep basically running new stuff for years.
@@darthwiizius prices are a joke. I payed for my GPU second hand too much (around 300 euros albeit in a pristine conditiom) but then new they were around 450. My goal was a 1080, but they were even more expensive, no matter new or second hand.
@@jonpeley Yeah I know what you mean, I bought my 2060S in April 2020 just as the GPUpocalypse began, it brought tears to my eyes and moths to my wallet costing £400, which was MSRP on a new card (it was a pristine boxed lightly used one) but it was literally the only card available in my town new or old and I needed a card so I was kind of stuck. Still it's served me well I suppose, it's just a few weeks earlier I could have bought a 2070 new for £70 less .

Have 1660 super very great 1080p experience also using it with the 5600g and 32gb of ddr4 3200mhz ram! Great combination!
I'd love to see some older Intel stuff paired with the 1660 super. I have two 1660 supers and two 1660 ti's that I acquired all recently for around $130 each. The ti is obviously a better deal but only 5% better.
I shoved one in a small optiplex 790 that had a i7 2600. It had a 500w psu hanging out of the side, lmao. It was pretty solid tbh. Ended up putting it with a 9600k, then traded it and some cash for a 1080ti. It is a great little card I would recommend to get into gaming.
Im still using my 1660s in my gaming PC for now! OC it and it will stand toe to toe with a GTX 1070
Just built a i7 6700, 32gb ram, air cooled, picked this exact card up off of FB Marketplace for 140 and it crushes. I've since bought 5 more of these cards used from various places for older builds.. Cant go wrong with having a couple of these laying around lol.
"It crushes" compared to what?, these cards aren't even all that I would had went gtx 1070 which crushes both this 1660 super and 1660ti and it's cheaper lol. Idk what's all the hype on this card
@@jponz85 it's just newer and consumes a bit less power. Usually has the option of fitting into more cases.
Hyped or not it has a place.
@ArtisChronicles space fitment? Fair enough but if fitment isn't an issue, then idk why this card is more expensive than the 1070 when its clearly inferior to it
@@jponz85 1070 is a decent card too that said in the used market by me they are selling in the 350-400 range when they do pop up (very rare and I scoop them when they do if they are priced right), where the 1660 pops up a lot at 130-160. So for my budget flips it makes since. That said these are flips, i have a bunch of 3060, 3080, 3090's on a shelf here just not using those in these flips..
I have this exact card for my main pc paired with i5 9400f and 16gb ram, and luckily sold it for almost $700 when peak mining season, then swap it for 3060. Couldn't be happier.
I run a 1660 super on my 4k monitor and it runs a lot of games including PUBG way above 60fps and in apex legends I get 85-90fps on max settings at 4k. I do have the settings at pretty much a minimum on all games but it still looks way better to me than 1440p any day.
how much fps do u get on rdr 2 1440p ?
my first gaming pc i built back in 2021 had a ryzen 7 5800x, zotac gaming 1660 super, 32gb ddr4 3200, msi gaming mobo, and a 212 rgb edition. bought the 1660 super on amazon for around 700$ which can get me a 3060 today.
Just built a PC with that DeskMeet case y’all made a video of using this GPU. I threw an rx 6600 in mine and it’s running everything well on my 1080p monitor.
They 16 series cards seem like a good deal for 1080p gaming.
it is, especially when paired with a solid cpu
Always great getting the notification of a new video keep up the good work ❤
Maybe find a 1630 for $120. 1660 super? No way.
Got my 1660 Ti for $135, is that a good deal?
Look on Ebay it’s pretty easy
I quit counting how many iv bought local for 70 to 80. You never know until you ask
@@ToastyBros can you make me a pc
I got my on facebook market place last month for 70 bucks. I LOVE IT. OVERCLOCKED IT does not overheat! Great gamer!
even with a really old cpu like the core i7 3770 this card still shines
Loving this content! Would love to see the 2060 next, Is it worth the extra 100-150$ extra?
Nope. Not for the price they're selling it at
While the 2060 is not a bad card for 1080p, the price of it now is not worth it. You are better off going for a 6600 or 6600xt
get A750 instead
my blind brother has a gtx 1660 super and it does him well. he bought his pc back in 2020
I just bought one of these last Friday for 90$ used on eBay lol.
im currently saving up for a nzxt streaming pro pc and I just love your videos!
I was poking at eBay a couple of days ago and there were GTX 1080 cards for $150, I'd go with one of those instead, as that's around 30% more performance for $20-30 (granted that's low % per $, but it's twenty bucks).

i have pc with 1660 super and Ryzen 5 5500 16Gb ram 3200mhz, SSD 512GB. Paid 500$ brand new from store
Stil playing like 95% games on ultra on 1080p 60fps no problem
I still think for 1080p, 60fps and SP games you are more then fine
i7-6000 generation with a 1660. Love to see that!
My first budget build GPU. What a gem really. Especially at 1080p. For the price to performance, it's a great card to have.
i upgraded from the 1660 super to 3070 and i still miss the 1660 super
@@ktesy1636 y tho is it the nostalgia or being used to cause a 3070 is way better
@@Monolitus7 its probably the nostalgia
If you can find a 1660 super for ~150$ its a great price!
Got a GTX 1660 for $125 last week it runs great!
Im running a 1660 TI myself. great card for anything I throw at it
I look on the ground but I never find one laying around anywhere, it’s unfortunate as it’s about the only way it’s going to fit into my budget
I have the same 1660 super but paired with i5 10400f, and its running great
I love how toastybros simplify things in their videos.
How much power does it need?
Most just need one six pin. A 400w PSU would be lots, as long as your cpu isn't really high end.
It has a tdp of a 125 Watts, and requires a single six pin power connector on most models, but my Gigabyte OC card consumes upwards of a 145 Watts and requires an 8pin rather than a 6pin.
Get home from buying one new in the box for $140 off marketplace and this is the first video on UA-cam😂 Looking forward to my motherboard finally arriving next week and building my first pc.
I built my nephew a new gaming PC this past weekend: with his $700 budget, we went i5-13400f, MSI Pro B760-P WiFi, 4x8 GB 3600 MHz RAM and a 1 TB Sabrent Rocket PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD.
I loaned him an old MSI Gaming GTX 1060 6 GB GPU and he’s using an old 27” 1080P IPS panel a family member gave him.
Would the GTX 1660 be a worthy upgrade if he’s planning to stay at 1080p gaming for a while?
I recently bought this beast of a GPU and i can play anything i want now
This is what I’ve been running over clock it and it’s great!
I'm using 1660 Ti which is pretty much the same as this and it's a solid 1080p card even today
For someone that has had the 8800gt, hd5850, gtx 960 and 1660 super in 2020 (upgraded to a second hand 2080s) the price is just okay (actually not even that) when you consider the card is 3.5 years old. A couple of years ago that would've meant the mid-range card would be 3 generations old and hopelessly outdated.
If things don't change quickly the pc market is doomed..
I just did an old workstation build. Dell t3600, xeon 2650 32gb ddr3 with the 1660 super halo infinite locked at 75fps 1080p medium preset
I picked up this exact card just under a month ago for $50 CDN. The guy was selling it cheap because one of the fans was a little wobbly (which i plan on replacing both very soon). I have this paired with an i5 4690k and 16gb of ddr3 gskill xmp ram (yes, old tech, I know). Once i got all my setiings dialed in, this performs fairly well with the i5, but it obviously could do much, much better.You asked in this video if anyone wanted to see older Intel CPU's tested and I wanted to know if you would run some benchmarks with my specs (or as close as possible)? I'm curious to see what you guys are able to achieve.
These are going for $130 on ebay as lowest price buy it now for a working card, gtx 1080 is going for $145 with the lowest price working buy it now and more options around $160. I feel like that is the better deal unless you simply cant swing the extra $30.
I love the amounth of gamed you are testing !
I like almost everything about you guys. Louisville Cardinals for life!!
i use this and an i3 12100f and its a great budget gaming pc i get around 120 fps on valorant and fortnite type games and 60 fps on triple a titles its a great card overall
Used a 1660s before the price hike for 1440p and 1440p UW(before FSR was a thing) and it ran smoothly with a mix of low-medium-high settings. Best budget card for 1440p as well especially with the release of FSR 2.0/1 now. FSR 1 sucked 🤣
weren’t you able to enable RTX on these at some point?
Any gpu can ray trace its just alot of them don't have enough horsepower to keep it at high framerates.
I see this graphics card absolutely incredible for the price
Your an amusing person
I got one of these used for $60 and is holding up strong
lets go ahead and use that side rad for the intake aio. and exhaust 3 out the top. Could even pop a hole in that case and flip the psu around so it draws from it.
I have a 1 fan Gtx 1660 super and I think it’s a really good cheap but good card. I can run Warzone 20 around like 70 fps
I got a good price on a 1660ti around Christmas, and I use that, but I know my FPS is limited by the processor I currently use. This is the pain of using an i5-6500. Also the card and most games do not exactly like running at 1920x1200
Toastybros great video, but im struggling on which parts to use my budget is less than £450 (around $500) and i want to use a amd 5600g and the graphics you used in this video if you have any pc designs or stuff i could use please let me know thanks.
The fact that i just got one for 70$ and it's working is insane
I have to stick with my current build with an i7-4790 for a while, do a build with that cpu.
There’s a 1660 ti for 120 in my area not bad for a budget build
Can u recommend some cheap AM4 Motherboards? I try to build a 350ish PC but motherboards are exspensive and mostly not with Wi-FI
My 9020 MT OPTIPLEX has i5-4590 CPU, MSI GEFORCE GTX 1650 D6 VENTUS XS OCV1, 32 GB RAM, EVGA 80+ GOLD PSU. I'm going to upgrade my CPU to i7-4790K with a new CPU cooler. Then I'll do an RGB case swap.
I still use my 1660 Super with a I7-7700K and 32GB RAM and play Cyberpunk and Helldivers 2 with 60fps on a 100" Screen. It's enough for me!
I use 1660 super with i3-8100 and 16gb ddr4 ram on my main computer and I get around 80-100 fps in fortnite medium settings at 1080p, so I recommend this card for low price.
sadly that card is $200 - $300 CAD on my used local market. some ppl are still trying to gouge on the price used for s 1660 super. Similar prices in CAD for used 1660 super on AliExpress
Hi Toasty Bros, all the way from the UK!
I'm going to be building a Budget PC to a degree! After watchiung your "This $120 Graphics Card is VERY Underrated!"
And my question is, What "Motherboard & CPU" (at a cheap price as I do ONLY have £200ish to spend), do I Buy for my below optioned specs?
I want to buy Ryzen 5, I hope also to buy DDR4 Ram x2 8GB 3200MHz, ( I already own 600W PSU & My GIGABYTE GTX 1060 6GB GPU + my 500GB SSD ), I have for the Windows 11 Installation + PC Case.
So yes its a "Budget Build", (After all the above Maybe £60.00 / £80.00 left ), Gulp, my first ever go, so I can't afford to make a mistake, so this is why I've come to you my friend.
It's going to be a struggle I know, for me because of my limited fiancial savings because of a substantial disability, but that won't hold me back, I will do it, pleasE with your help.
I do have a DellOptiplex 9020 with a i5 4690 @3.50GHz Haswell, 32GB DDR3@798mh, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit... But I want to run Windows11, (Future Proof).
So Please, please can you helpfully advise me, thanking you in advance.
1660 Super ain't bad for 1080p with some settings tweaks in harder to run games. Was enough for me to play RDR2 at 1080p 60fps using Hardware Unboxed's recommended settings. Not a bad buy around $100 used but you'd have to be nuts to buy them new where they still sell $230 when you can still find RX 6650 XT new for $250.
All Ryzen CPU options? What intel CPU’s would pair well with this card?
just bought my asus tuf gtx1660 super for 95euros plus 4euros shipping, pretty good
What's the ideal reason to buy processor with integrated graphics even when you're bought a separated gpu !? Might go with 5600 or 5600x
This is quite similar to my setup. Same CPU, another B550 mobo (in my case Aorus), 16 gb of RAM (3200 mhz in my case) and a regular GTX 1660 (not Super nor Ti). Quite happy with it and you can play most games in 1080p with high settings with no problem. Obviously I didn't pay 500 $ as my computer was bought during that time when prices were insane (and in some cases still are) and because in Europe PC parts are much more expensive than in the USA.
A friend of mine, here in the UK, found an RX5700XT for about the same price as 1660S/Tis over here. If these were going for US prices here they'd be budget champs but as it stands the 5700XTs are the ones to get in the UK right now. At least these are 12U compliant so they'll keep basically running new stuff for years.
@@darthwiizius prices are a joke. I payed for my GPU second hand too much (around 300 euros albeit in a pristine conditiom) but then new they were around 450. My goal was a 1080, but they were even more expensive, no matter new or second hand.
@@jonpeley
Yeah I know what you mean, I bought my 2060S in April 2020 just as the GPUpocalypse began, it brought tears to my eyes and moths to my wallet costing £400, which was MSRP on a new card (it was a pristine boxed lightly used one) but it was literally the only card available in my town new or old and I needed a card so I was kind of stuck. Still it's served me well I suppose, it's just a few weeks earlier I could have bought a 2070 new for £70 less .
i have one of these watercooled pretty insane for a small GPU i run it on 1440p and its great.
I have an i5 4570.. planning to get this card... but kinda worried about the bottleneck issues.. will it run?
Picked a used one for 190usd. Not as cheap but way cheaper than other options. Coming from 1050 ti, world of difference.
im sorry my friend but u got ripped off big time
@@daytimerocker3808 I converted it to usd. Every other 1660 super in my area was being sold for 230 usd (msrp, wild i know). Hence why I said cheaper.
New in store is $270 cheapest btw.
For that price you can find a 5700 non xt if you look around.
