Q2 2019:

GTX 1660 = RM1000-1200
RTX 2080 = RM3500-4200

Q1 2021

GTX 1660 = RM900-1100
RTX 3060TI = RM2000-2500

We can see for upper range GPU, it has dropped about 40-50% of the price, however low-mid range, price didn't drop that much

The funny thing is that the best cheap GPU is still a RX480/580, which itself is a card dating back from 2016 sweat.gif

Low end GPU hardware has been stagnated for quite some time, even AMD's low/midrange GPU offerings are just as bad as current nVidia ones:



Even worst still is that VRAM figures have not been increased at all, with 4GB VRAM is still the norm even on those low end GPUs sweat.gif

Either buy used GPU, or just forget about PC gaming and go console instead (considering that the GPU in those new consoles are equivalent to a RX5700XT/2080 Super performance-wise) sweat.gif

yup. there's too much gap between gtx 1660 vs rtx 3060ti, since that they have phased out rtx20xx series. Can't wait for rtx 3050ti

Too bad it's still a 6GB card, wish it was a 8GB card considering that there are quite a few games that can easily go over the 6GB VRAM mark sweat.gif
