Currently I am using an ASUS ROG STRIX Rx 580 8GB (Triple Fan)
Ryzen 5 3600x OC/ed to 4.25ghz.
Mobo- b450 Tomahawk Max.
32 Gigs of ram @ 3200mhz
Corsair Cx650M PSU
Monitor- Sceptre 1920x1080, 144mhz
If you need more detailed summary please check my signature.

I am not overly impressed with what the Rx 580 has been doing in terms of graphical output. Maybe i'm over shooting for this card and don't understand its capabilities Perhaps i need to cap myself at 60FPS at 1080p. I was looking at benchmarks and comparing some cards. the 1660 Super. 2060 Super and the Rx 5700 Xt. I understand that the jump between the 580 and the 1660S isnt great but from what i can see and have read the 1660 Super would be a better card and be the same price anyway. My question is should i change to the 1660? move up to either 2060(S) or 5700 Xt? I am also aware that the 2060 (S) and the 5700 XT would mean i should upgrade my monitor to take advantage of its 1440P capabilities. I am fine with 1080P i just would like to have better visuals. Any and all opinions are welcome. Thank you .

RX580 is a relatively inexpensive card. It is good for 1080p 60fps, but not a ton more.

A 1660 super should get you around 25% more performance, but a 2060 super or RX5700xt would be a lot more.

You don't need to upgrade your monitor, as 1440p 144hz is not easy to run in many demanding games even with a card of that tier.

If i can get more performance and better lighting and overall appearance from a 1660 Super then I would like to do so. The 2060S and the 5700 XT I will wait until the prices start to lower. 25% is still a better jump than what i have currently. I feel the Rx 580 is just lacking considering the size of the card. Thank you for your reply
