I'm trying to choose between the two video cards below:
A$330 for a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Windforce3 OC 6GB
https://www.umart.com.au/Gigabyte-GeForce-GTX-1060-Windforce3-OC-6GB-Graphics-Card_49660G.html
A$370 for a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1660 Gaming 6G OC
https://www.umart.com.au/Gigabyte-Geforce-GTX-1660-Gaming-6G-OC-Graphics-Card_50161G.html
The card is to go into a new AMD Ryzen 7 2700 system with 16 GB RAM. It will run games on a 2K 75Hz monitor, with a 1080p monitor running YouTube videos at the same time. The most advanced games will be Jedi: Fallen Order, Elite Dangerous and Diablo III. I am likely to use the card for 3-4 years before upgrading it.
I was unable to find a web page that would allow me to directly compare the specs of these cards, nor a direct performance comparison.
What I do know:
* The 1660 is newer technology, so likely to maintain its performance with new games further into the future
* The 1660 is likely to handle 2K resolutions better
* The 1060 is a higher-end product within its GPU range
So:
* Will this particular 1660 perform better in games than this particular 1060?
* If so, is the difference big enough to justify spending an extra A$40?
Thanks in advance!
