Happy with 1080 only gaming for now on my rather funky obscure 1920x1200 16:10 Samsung display :P
Thinking to just replace the graphics card at present, concerned about PSU headroom it's only 600W - should I be concerned?
Appreciate all your input!
Love this community
Love you too, paragon.
1660ti. 600w is plenty.
If you were to go for a GTX1660Ti, it would be a SIGNIFICANT performance increase and will use less power than your current video card.
If you're looking at keeping your video card as long as you kept your current one, it's unfortunately likely you'll want to go for an RTX series card, but then your CPU will likely need replacing quite soon.
16:10 is underrated!
Agreed ^___^
1080 will be bottlenecked, i wouldnt go over a 1070
Either a 580 or a 1660ti would be your best options.
They're both in different price and performance tiers, up to which you consider more worthwhile (look for benchmarks).
A vega 56 might also be worth it, but tmk there's no good deals for them in Aus. Unless you just don't wanna go for Nvidia, it's just out performed at its price by the 2060 and outpriced for it's performance by the 1660ti (CA 20%)
Anyways, I'm more inclined to recommend the RX 580. I'm not sure if that i5 would bottleneck the GPU, but with your monitor (presumably running at 60hz) the extra performance probably isn't going to be worthwhile to you.
Beyond all this, if CAs 20% off lasts more then 4 - 5 days, wait for the Navi reveal from AMD. Might be a good budget GPU that'd be worth the wait.
Would you be up for sharing why you're inclined to recc the RX 580?
I don't think the 1660 will be worth the extra cash for games.
I'd recommend looking for benchmarks between the 2 to see whether the difference in price would be worthwhile though.
Sounds like most of you lovely people are saying 1660ti is the way to go. Grateful for any manufacturer suggestions!
Thanks to all of you for your helpful replies ^__^
Nope
Bah I ran 3 x1060 on a 600w on a mining rig lol Running 2070 on a 600w
look at a 1660ti for 1080 with high to ultra settings.
