Given 1060 6gb running around ~RM750 right now, is it worth to buy 1660 with ~15% increase in performance? Mainly for 1080p 60fps.
That is the problem. What do you feel about your money's worth?
Over the next 12 years, to maintain 60+ fps for 1080p, you might opt for
1. Buying GPU worth RM800 every 2 years => RM800 x 6 = 4800
Example: GTX 1050 Ti (when it first came out)
2. Buying GPU worth RM 1100 every 3 years => RM1100 x 4 = 4400
Example: GTX 1060 6Gb (when it first came out)
3. Buying GPU worth 1600 every 4 years => RM1600 x 3 = 4800
Example: GTX 1070 (when it first came out)
==========================
However it is hard to predict the tech development in the future... or other influencing factors like the crypto market
Many tech influencers say:
If you need a card now, get the best you can afford and match your rig (no point buying RTX 2080 if using i5-3570)
If you already have something you can use decently for now, just wait till you really need to upgrade.
