AoA. so as the title says I'm looknig to buy a new GPU (not used) since my 7950 died a while ago. Czone is currently selling gtx 1660 for 38k and it's a pretty new card. The thing is I mainly do GPGPU Computing and I don't care about the 10-20% fps change in games. I was originally looking to get an AMD card since they natively support higher versions of OpenCL. Although NVIDIA also supports it but they limited their support for OpenCL till 1.2.
I checked the specs for gtx 1660 and rx 570 (35k on czone) and rx 570 while being a 2017 card still has significantly higher shader units, compute units (nvidia's streaming multiprocessors) and GFLOPS though significantly less clock rate. I'm guessing the new NAVI series will even that out. Now I need your suggestions. Should I wait for the AMD new NAVI series to show up? Anybody knows any details regarding the pricing so I can infer if they will fall within my range of 40k. I generally have experiences that AMD provides a better card for the same or less amount. So I'm guessing that there's gonna be a NAVI card outperforming the 1660 for the same or lower price. Also don't have much time to research on the NAVI series so if anyone can share the info and if he knows the price ranges that'd be a life saver.
