Question GTX 1660 vs GTX 1070

[kanishkasandeep]

I want to buy a new GPU. I have 2 cards in my mind.

1. Gigabyte GTX 1660 (non Ti) Gaming OC (around $332 in my country)

2. Asus ROG Strix GTX 1070 (around $312 in my country)

(I know prices are bit weird when comparing with the current market prices in US and Europe)

In some games GTX 1660 is ahead of the race, but most of the cases GTX 1070 is the clear winner..I'm really hard to decide which one should I choose.

GTX 1660 is much newer, power efficient, packed with latest technologies and released few months ago.. GTX 1070 was released in 2016, but it has 8 GB of memory which will be much more future proof.

Gigabyte Gaming OC is more like a budget oriented graphic card while ASUS ROG STRIX is a Premium card. Will it make any difference ?

I have a Core i5-4590+8 GB of RAM and 60 Hz Freesync monitor

My PSU is a Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 650W

I know GTX 1660 Ti is faster than GTX 1070, but I have to stick with this budget and can't spend a penny more.

What will be a good choice ?
