Which component, graphics card or processor, should I improve initially?
My processor is an Intel Core i5-9400F, and my graphics card is a GTX 1660. I have 16GB of DDR4 RAM, a 500W power supply unit, and an ASUS motherboard (LGA1151 socket). I possess a 1TB solid-state drive and a 550GB M.2 solid-state drive. I’m seeking to improve my frame rates, so what component should I upgrade initially?
You shouldn’t invest in improving a 1660 Super unless you plan to play at 4K resolution or consistently struggle to achieve acceptable frame rates in games, which is improbable at 1080p. Considering the card is relatively recent and you’d likely be swapping it out after a short time, it wouldn't represent a sensible financial decision.
hard drive? solid-state drive? power supply unit? mainboard?
Performance varies based on the particular game and configuration, along with available funds. Your current hardware is generally configured to deliver smooth gameplay at 1080p resolution with enhanced visuals and frame rates exceeding 60 frames per second across a wide range of titles. The upcoming graphics card following the 1660 (if it’s the initial 1660 and not a Ti or Super variant) is likely to be the 2060, exhibiting approximately a 25% improvement in speed.
Possibly, however, the RTX 2060 Super remains marginally stronger than the RX 5700 XT.
