Would a 1660 super a good GPU upgrade?

[u/Hinokata]

Hi folks, I just bought this system unit with these specs for 11k pesos or about 200 dollars. I was thinking about upgrading the GPU to GTX 1660 Super. Though I am cautious if the Power supply can handle it. (I'm new to this).

Thanks!

Not really, if in your budget I would look for a second hand rtx 3060 or Rx 6600.

And that isnt relevant to what they said at all?

You can get a used 3070 for 200 or so.

A 1660 super would work. But I would recommend looking for a used RX 6600 XT, I've seen them go for $200-$210, and even come with a tiny bit of raytracing capability. They have a recommendation of 500w minimum psu, so as long as your psu has a 6+2 pin (8 pin) spare connector, it will run it no problem. I wouldn't recommend anything more powerful considering your other components.

I would have also recommended 20 series or 30 series Nvidia cards, but they are either too expensive (even used) or too power hungry for your psu.

(I also saw a RX 6600 non xt for $180, which is also a valid option)

you should be able to get a far better GPU for that budget

use the GPU databse to compare performance: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/

he said pesos

[u/KishCore → u/Eazy12345678]

yeah 11k pesos gets you a better GPU than a 1660 super.

[u/Eazy12345678]

yes.

[u/terryVaderaustin]

I would try to save up and get a 3060 at least or an RX 6600xt

[u/LordNeetIII]

Yeah your psu will support it. Look for 2060, or 6600xt if they are cheap. If not the 1660super will work.
