I have been looking at upgrading my existing video card. My budget is around $350, so I was looking at a 1660 Ti. I have had a few people recommend a 5700 instead. Looking at prices it seems like the 1660 Ti is around $350-400, while the 5700 seems to be closer to $500-$550. I know they are fairly new and currently seem to be in a high demand. I was just wondering if that price is currently a bit inflated, or if that's sort of the price different to expect between the two cards?

When I have seen people suggesting the 5700 instead of the 1660 Ti, the impression I got is the prices should be in the same ballpark with much greater performance with the 5700. A $100-$200 difference seems like a lot to me, but I guess if people were looking at the overall cost of whole PC maybe it isn't to them.

Thanks for the help.

@KydThe16th: I agree it's kinda scary especially for the people who don't upgrade their gpu's every 2 years like us 😆 when a new GPU series comes out that makes our cards more outdated and any newer games or drivers will be optimized for the newer cards!

For Sure it is , i did the same, but for me in another totally different story but i was having a GTX 1060 3GB
Now i will get the GTX 1060 6GB

For sure 6GB is way better than 3
and its also not only better card through VRAM it has also has more CUDA Cores

swapped the Asus Phoenix GeForce 1060 3GB For a EVGA SuperClocked GeForce 1060 6GB

i think this is more future proof than the other card

@DomDA83: Well I can get non-OC for 100$ over here. But I see it's 70$ on eBay and Amazon so I wonder is the performance worth the money.

How long you think 1060 6GB (LAPTOP) and 1050 4GB (LAPTOP) can run games on these settings?
I consider 25 FPS playable. 😢
1080p
All textures and texture related on ultra (almost 30 percents of settings)
Unimportant stuffs for me like shadows and lights on low.
Things like that hair technology on medium.
Others on High.
And no motion blur I hate it.

@dilshara: It won't bottleneck at all............. one of my rigs run a FX-8350 4.0GHz with a GTX 1050 ti, depending on how much RAM you are running it (RAM) could possibly bottleneck................ once upon a time, 8 GB was enough for anything but now I recommend 16 on any build

@hamza5433: Not a chance, the R7 260x is still MUCH better than the new RX 550............. better lighting detail and quality, better texture detail, and a better clock speed................... the only good side of the RX 550 is its price, can't complain about a GPU that costs $80 compared to $120-$130 for the R7 260x

The RX 550 is newer indeed, but the R7 260x would still wipe the floor with it head to head

@Lumpen: Lol 😂 Stronger, better and faster? How can you compare AMD with Nvidia without any products. Atleast take two examples like GTX 750 Ti and R7 260X

@THUNDERkurt: Yes, Intel HD 2500 is an equivalent and 8400 GS or 8500 GT are Nvidia equivalents I think

@Toceto, definitely save for the ti even though the performance jump isnt insanely high or anything............... one of my rigs runs a 1050ti and it can handle almost anything at high settings............. both mine and my wifes computers had 1050 TIs in them, but I was unhappy and went with twin RX 480s and a bigger PSU.............. Im all about the graphics, if it werent about the graphics then I'd just play on console

definitely wait for the 1050 ti............. it's only about $30 more than the standard 1050 but with twice the video RAM, i think I paid about $130 each for our PCs. About 4 months after purchase, I went and paid about $360 each for 2 MSI RX 480s

It's not good for gaming. But you can still play new games with it (on lower setting & resolutions), provided your laptop has suitable processor and RAM.

Yes it is good enough to handle any game to date. It can run most latest games in med settings at 1080p with an average frame-rate of 30, if paired with enough RAM and suitable processor. You can find benchmarks here,
