Thanks, I better stick with GTX 1660 Super, seems power efficient. I was about to close a deal for a used Asus Strix 1070 8GB model (2 years old) almost 40% cheaper than 1660 Super pricing. however, the power is another concern for my decade old system which may bring nightmares with GTX 1070...

one last thing, Does 1660ti consume less power cmpared to 1660 super?. My PSU is very old and I would prefer a less power hungry card

Well, I do not think it is cheap here. In my Country RTX2060 costs ~100$ more than 1660 super, that is it sells for ~$360, while GTX1660 Super sells for ~$265. Even if I spend beyond my limit of $300, still I doubt my CPU will be able to utilize it or not.

Well, my concern was with this CPU, would a 1660 Super or 1660 ti get any benefit. Though I had thought of 1660ti intially as it is priced 20% higher than Super, but then I feel now that going anything higher than 1660 is of no use at this point. For a 250$-300$ budget range in India, I have...

Oops.. CPU-Z is showing Dual Channel only. So in this case, I guess it is operating in Flex mode, which effectively may give me 8GB at dual channel bandwidth, which I guess isn't as bad as I worried :).

Unfortunately mine is Single channel only. So I am kind of finalizing 1660/1660 Super.

Thank you. I play only Single player and I'd be happy if I get 30-60 FPS steady!. However, what I am worried is "Stutter". Also, my RAM config is 4GB & 8GB, making it single channel as my Mobo doesn't support Flex mode I guess, UEFI config shows 12GB Single channel only. So is it worth and...

Yes, GTX 1660 Super is available at Amazon, it costs ~280$ here and I am kind of leaning towards that. Sorry, I cannot afford for any CPU change, also my Mobo supports only socket 1155. I'm dead locked. So my question is, buying a GTX 1660 Super makes sense for my CPU?. Im not convinced in...

The reason not preferring AMD right now is, most of the AMD equivalent cards right now are power hungry. My PSU is old and I want a least power draining card. GTX 1650 might be an average card for playing even today's games at high settings. I would be happy to at least pick GTX 1660 or...

Hi friends, My PC is very old, about 8 years. I cannot afford to upgrade my Mobo/SDD/CPU/RAM further. Please suggest an Nvidia GPU which will not be bottlenecked or become useless because by my slow CPU. For eg, buying RTX 2060 vs GTX 1660 Please note, my requirement for games are playable...

Thanks, My PC just plays fine in 1920x1080p res @ 60fps with settings high to very high\ultra with advanced settings off. However, I have 1 GB card, but the resource says it has exceeded the limit, but the game plays well. As for laptop, it works in 720p @ 30fps with all settings normal and...

Hi, thanks for you time here. I have a laptop and PC. I would like to play GTA5 on both and would be good before I put my 40$ on the game. My Laptop : Brand : Sony Vaio OS : Windows 8.1, 64-bit CPU : i5, 1.8GHz with turbo boost to 2.4GHz GPU : GT 740M Nvidia, 2GB RAM: 4GB Display: 720p HDD...
