I've been running quite well for a few years with my GTX 760. But the current hype (and price) for the GTX 1660 Ti has me queued at Amazon for a MSI $279 version. I wonder how long the back-order will last? Has anyone else succumbed?

I've looked at both the 1660 and the 2060, and figured the 2060 will be a better card in the long run for not much more. I was hoping the 1660 would be more comparable minus the RTX features, but it's not.

Yeah I made the same decision - I was also concerned the 1660 would struggle at 1440p or run at 100% with the fans spinning loudly. My current 970 is almost silent even when gaming and I'm willing to spend a little more to try to keep my system quiet.
Of course the 2060 I ordered is back ordered too - original delivery date was last Friday, now it's due next Monday

I looked at the 2060, but I'm staying at 1080p, and it didn't justify the extra $110.

Yeah, I play primarily on a 1080p plasma tv so I am in no hurry to go beyond the 970/1060 tier of cards. I am still rocking my 970 and it does fine.

It looks like the 1660 Ti will be my next card, as long as I don't need a complete new rig till then, then I'd go 20xx.

I got my GTX 1660ti card yesterday. Today I am installing it.
I thought it might be a good time to upgrade to Windows 10, too, considering DX12 and its multi-core functionality.
Then I looked at a list of games that actually support DX12 (and upcoming games that will support it), and I was disappointed. It appears that very few games are being programmed for multi-core cpus. I wonder why.
