Which GPU is better for my R5 3600? 1660 SUPER Or RX 5600 XT

[Sick6253]

A friend just gave me his Ryzen 5 3600 for dirt cheap, I want a graphics card to complete my build (I have all other components).

I have narrowed down my options to GTX 1660 SUPER and Radeon RX 5600 XT.

Which one should I go for?

Hi @Sick6253, hope you're having a good day.

Of the two, I would say go with the RX 5600 XT, it offers better performance than the 1660S.

I am using a 1660 super with Ryzen 5 5600 and the gpu is good

5600 XT is a clear winner

1660 super would be better with the 3600

I'm speaking from personal experience here—AMD drivers are pretty bad. I used to have a 5600XT with a Ryzen 5 3600, and my drivers got corrupted four times, leading to the black screen issue. There was nothing wrong with the graphics card or any other component. I switched to a 1660 Super after that. There wasn't much difference in performance, but I definitely prefer Nvidia now.

bruh hell no

been using an amd build for like half a decade now, seems like you got unlucky or something, amd has zero driver problem whatsoever

You can't compare a 5600 XT with a 1660 SUPER, its comparison is with RTX 2060:
