[SOLVED] GTX1660 or RX580?

[AfikH]

Hay,
I am building a new rig based on an amd cpu - ryzen 2600x .
I dont know which GPU to pick between these two :

1. MSI GTX 1660 VENTUS XS 6GB OC GDDR6 HDMI 3xDP PCI-E
2. Sapphire Radeon RX 590 NITRO+ Special Edition OC 8GB GDDR5 DVI 2xHDMI 2xDP PCI-E

I saw that in some games they are very similar and in other games Nvidias gets a higher fps.
But since this rig is using an amd cpu i thought mabey i should get a amd gpu to.
I'd love to hear your opinion.

Thanks in advanced, Afik.

The GTX 1660 is slightly faster than the RX 580. It doesn't matter if you have an AMD CPU, the card will work without any issues.

GTX 1660 and RX 590 perform almost the same depends on the game maybe you will a bit more or less fps with either card. If the 1660 is cheaper go with 1660 if not go with rx 590.

As I recall, the 1660 is consistently a little faster than the 590, so if they're both the same price, I'd lean toward the 1660.
