[SOLVED] Torn apart between 1080p GPUs

[Liron_]

Hey guys, I need a Graphics Card for 1080p high FPS gaming which will last me a good few years.

Currently, I've limited myself to 2 options, GTX 1660 Super for $228, or the RX 580 for $134.

While I know the GTX 1660 super is simply the more powerful one.. The RX 580 is simply almost $100 cheaper due to taxes and such. And to add to that, the RX 580 comes with a free Borderlands 3 or Ghost recon breakpoint. (Also some Xbox Game Pass but I dunno if I will be using that)

So which do you think is the better buy? I am also curious to know which will hold the better value for the next upcoming years, as I am not planning to upgrade to a high-end graphics card after buying them, and instead probably in the next years upgrade my pc as a whole.

What is the rest of your system spec including PSU make and model?

Not to try to make your decision more difficult, but I believe AMD is supposed to be releasing the RX 5500 in the next few weeks, which should roughly similar performance to the cards you're looking at but a much more modern design with significantly lower power draw (at least compared to the RX 580). If you're not in a rush it might not hurt to wait and see how that pans out.

Will upgrade CPU & RAM at future but currently my gpu bottlenecks my pc.
