[SOLVED] What should I buy?

[Jusco]

I have a rx 580 at the moment and I have $280 to drop on a gpu. I’m thinking about getting a gtx 1660 ti but I was wondering if there’s a better gpu I could get for $280?

It's not a bad way to go, but if you save up 100$ more you could get a 5700XT. I'd recommend saving up a bit more since games are becoming more and more demanding, you're gonna need an upgrade again sooner than later if you get a 1660. Besides the 580 will last you another year at most, so you have time to save up.

Keep the 580 for now if you're at 1080p.

Perhaps it might be worth waiting a bit, as AMD is rumored to be launching new graphics cards around this price range "soon", even if little is known about them yet. I'm not expecting performance on par with a 2060 or anything, but a card performing somewhere in-between a 1660 Ti and a 2060 seems possible, and if that pans out, it might also potentially put pressure on Nvidia to drop the 2060 closer to $300. Nvidia will also apparently be launching a 1660 SUPER soon, presumably to better compete with AMD's upcoming cards, and while I only expect that card to perform roughly in-between a 1660 and a 1660 Ti, if the pricing is not much more than the current 1660, the 1660 Ti might see somewhat lower prices as well.
