Asus Radeon RX Vega 64 8GB

Based on the same TU116 processor as GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1660 loses two Streaming Multiprocessors and swaps out GDDR6 memory for slower GDDR5. As a result, it remains an excellent choice for gaming at 1920x1080 but isn’t recommended for 2560x1440. Just be sure to comparison shop before making your purchase. Hot deals on Radeon RX 580 cards may warrant a look, despite their lower performance.

GeForce RTX 2060 Founders Edition finds itself surrounded by capable competitors in the GeForce GTX 1070, GTX 1070 Ti, Radeon RX Vega 56 and Vega 64. It largely outperforms them all and at a lower price point.
