Have had my GTX 970 for some time now and it struggling with the modern games.

I'm looking to get the GTX 1660 super (OC Edition: Boost Clock 1860 MHz (OC Mode)) & just wanted to check with someone a little more knowledgeable that this would make a difference.

-I play Modern Warfare & GTA.

Thanks

There is a huge difference between the two, you will be happy with the purchase, the 1660 super goes for $240 right now, I recommend if you have the budget to spend on the 5600XT (the performance is like of the RTX 2060) that costs $280 https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Thicc-16...0afa35db0e119f108375994207eacd&language=en_US

This, in my opinion, will be the better buy, if you can't fo that far then you have the 1660Ti for $260 https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForc...cbfffa5a780ec83f018678035d981e&language=en_US
Which is a good option as well and faster than the 1660 super

Thanks for your advice! Unfortunately I'm not looking for any other recommendations as the 1660 super is one of the few cards that Amazon accept monthly instalments on. But if like you said there's a huge difference & I'll be happy with difference in performance then I'll get it.

Thanks again Adam
