$219 usd
Stock performance = 28% faster than 1060 3gb
Overclock perfornance = stock 1660ti/1070

Seems like this may become the new value king like gtx 1060 last gen
Saya sudah mau beli, anda bila?

Nvidia moved on too slowly... I have upgraded 1050Ti to 1070Ti, so the 1660/1660 Ti is not attractive at all at the price... Nor the rtx2060.

Yet cannot make sense of rtx pricing for 2070-2080Ti. So... Probably skip first gen rtx

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.

Id rather buy cheap and often
At least can resell the used card for higher % of original

And its fun to get new card

Maybe... If you dont mind doing the dealings...

Something like this?

Buy GTX 670 at RM 900
Sell GTX 670 at RM 800, and buy GTX 780 at RM 950 (top up RM150)
Sell GTX 780 at RM 850 and buy GTX 970 at RM 1200 (top up RM 350)
Sell GTX 970 at RM 950 and buy GTX 1070 at RM 1800 (top up RM 850)

Overall spending RM 2250 over 5-6 years?

Depends on how fast you make the change...

Anyhow, some people don't mind topping up for the latest and greatest.

so is this better than GTX 1060 G1 GAMING 6GB at RM 1599 (viewnet)???

saya mau main shadow of the tomb raider highest settings if possible.

cpu i5 9600k

Your pricing is outdated, as viewnet now lists that model at RM 1499. Maybe old stock that cost them more.

But might as well get the MSI GTX1660TI GAMING X at RM 1489

Here's the expected performance, compared to some other cards

The 1060 6GB's performance should be slightly less than the GTX980 ti
