I have built a new rig, and now trying to settle on a video card.  I have a 6 core ryzen CPU with a m2 1TB ssd onboard as a drive.  

 

Im looking at the following cards depending on availability, they seem to be out of stock alot

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5500 XT DirectX 12 GV-R55XTGAMING OC-8GD 8GB 128-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 ATX Video Card

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 Ti OC 6G Graphics Card, 2 x WINDFORCE Fans, 6GB 192-Bit GDDR6, GV-N166TOC-6GD Video Card

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER DirectX 12 GV-N166SGAMING-6GD 6GB 192-Bit GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card

 

Budget is limited so ive kind of settled on the price range of these cards. Just wondering your guys thoughts, and experiences.

i'm no expert by modern standards but if i remember rightly the high bit rate card will be better as they cause less thermal throttling on the card?

Out of the 3 you listed I would suggest the:

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 Ti OC 6G Graphics Card, 2 x WINDFORCE Fans, 6GB 192-Bit GDDR6, GV-N166TOC-6GD Video Card

If you can hold off a few months the new cards will be released and all other cards will reduce in price.

Glad to hear prices might be coming down. In need of an update one of these days but GPU's are still always pretty pricey.
