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.
