Hir Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I fried my computer, knocked a cup of tea and it ran into back of computer. On an old one at moment, very fragile. So I've found what looks to be a computer good enough for my need but. It I have it with a 6GB GTX 1660 the set up is £150 more than if I have it with a 4GB GTX 1650. Am I going to really see a difference in performance that warrants an extra £150 for a 6GB GTX 1660 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gives it as above 6GB GTX 1660 e2a If I ask a question and it is a super is that worth it? Edited September 14, 2021 by Hir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exhale Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 @Hir got any links mate? Bit tricky with the 1660 series at the moment, the 1660 Super I bought last year has tripled in price in some places! it's a killer card for around £250 when I bought it, crushes 1080p ultra.

vape_ninja Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 youd notice the difference way more if you put an 8gb 970 or 1070 in it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exhale Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 @vape_ninja I think hir is looking at pre-built options so you get pretty much limited to what's in stock at the time or what your budget will allow, as you know they put a bit of a premium on prebuilt machines! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vape_ninja Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 im not sure what you are playing but id honestly not go below 8gb ram for a GPU, However i am also aware the market is fucked at the moment for gpus the price is stupid I got a second hand GTX 1070 about 2 years ago for around £230 and it has allowed me to enjoy many games, even though its fairly outdated (I spent all the money on processor) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play AAA titles on my 1660 Super 6GB 1080p very high - ultra aiming for 60fps. It doesn't struggle, it's a hell of a card for the (original) price tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vape_ninja Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) if you are okay with 60fps that should be fine then, i like to get as close to 144 as i can Edited September 14, 2021 by vape_ninja 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the point of 60fps for VR games, that's 30fps per eye but above there is no point? . Edited September 14, 2021 by Hir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the competitive First Person Shooters lot chase higher FPS so you can get the jump on your man when you spot each other for the draw! bit ridiculous when you're only talking a few milliseconds quicker to registering your data on the game server I find 60FPS aesthetically pleasing nothing more Edited September 14, 2021 by Exhale 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
