I've been using a 1050 Ti for ages and I'm finally ready to upgrade. I found a pre-owned deal for a 1660 Super for $110. However, if I trade my 1050 Ti, the price drops to about $50. I've got a 10105F processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, a 450W Corsair PSU, and I game casually on a 60Hz 720p monitor. I play titles like Hunt Showdown, Siege, and I'm considering getting ARC Raiders. Also, how much should I sell my 1050 Ti for? It's an ASUS Cerberus 1050 Ti OC.

The 1660 Super is still a solid card for your needs. If you’re primarily playing less demanding games, it’ll handle them no problem. Just ensure your power supply can manage the upgrade before finalizing the trade.
While I agree the 1660 Super is a solid choice, consider looking for an RTX 2060 if you can, as they’re sometimes available for around $100 used. It will offer even better performance at 1080p and has DLSS support, which is a nice bonus for future games.
Yes, the 1660 Super is definitely still a viable option, especially for $50 after the trade. Just keep in mind that $110 might be a bit steep for a used one, so it sounds like a smart move to trade your 1050 Ti. It'll provide a noticeable performance boost for casual gaming.
My kids have a setup with a 1660 Super and it runs great for games like Genshin Impact and Minecraft. For casual gaming, it should be perfect for you too! Just make sure your monitor is up to speed.
Honestly, for $50, you can't go wrong with the upgrade. Even if you have a 720p monitor now, you can always upgrade that later on. Just make sure that monitor’s connections match the output from the 1660 Super, though!
Yeah, I plan to upgrade my monitor after I get the new GPU. My 2010 AOC monitor isn't cutting it anymore!
Exactly! That price drop makes it a no-brainer, especially since the 1660 Super has better performance and more VRAM.
