Yeah, In Singapore a RX570 8GB is $100 and 1660S is $200. Not even sure why anyone in that price segment should bother with anything between those two.
I recommend buying something that does make sense to you and makes you feel accomplished/empowered/etc. for a couple of months until your mind adjusts to the new normal and is no longer impressed by your own purchase and you begin to feel compelled to repeat. Go for it! None of us are going to turn up at your home to make comments about your computer's components.
This still can't beat the value of RX570 4GB for $110-$120 (current prices on the egg). I am quote a bit disappointed with the lack of progress in value/dollar lately.
I had hoped for a card that would form the basis for a replacement for my passively cooled Radeon HD 6770, but I guess I'll have to keep the 6770 for some more years (no, a semi-passive card that's quiet in the beginning and turns into a siren after a while does not cut it; BTDT).
Until AMD supports MxGPU on these cards or on their APUs, I can't care about AMD's graphics division anymore. Intel has supported GVT-g in their iGPUs for years already.
I'd instantly go with AMD if they had anything comparable.
Could we see some 1440p results in the future? For me, a $200 dollar card is always the sweetspot. My computer is not primarily a gaming device, but I really like my 27" 1440p monitor. I need to know whether a card meets my needs, not whether it would be great if I only had a different monitor.
Besides, not everyone insists on 60fps or Ultra settings.
I found a review that included 1440p results. In most games, including some benched here, the 99th percentile is north of 30fps, which I consider totally playable. However, a GTX 1660 Super appears to increase its lead there: 99th percentile @ 56fps in a 12 game average.

I guess AMD wanted something in this performance band which cannot run OpenCL (at least not worth a hoot)No, I'm not over it.

Such a disappointing product. :(Now I am left with choosing between a 1660 Super and a 5700XT.
Nothing else makes any sense to me.
