    £200 ish GFX card for 1080p

    I’m thinking the 1660 super...

    Thoughts...

    This for a child’s pc and not up to speed with mid low range hardware...

    Do you mean the 1660 Super? It's a solid card for 1080p. It'll be a long time before the new low/mid cards drop from nvidia and AMD, so it's still a safe choice.

    New card I have to agree 1660S seems the way to go. However I have seen on selling sites people getting rid of their 1080s 200-250 which if you don't mind second hand, which I would still go for over a 1660s

    could always spend £100 < on a second hand RX480/580 for 1080p and then wait until mid next year, when the latest range of midrange cards come out and you'll have a lot more options available

    I put a 1660 super in my 15 year old daughter build.

    Perfect for a kids machine

    1650 super is probably enough, not sure you get much more out of the 1660 super for 1080p

    vega 56 is a great 2nd hand option if you can find one around £150-160. Sapphire Pulse model as they have great cooling solution, also 8Gb RAM....

    quick look on ebay current price they are being sold for is £200-250
    a new 1660 (non super, non Ti) is around £200-220 new
    super is around £240-250 new
    ti £260-270 new

    interesting seeing as the difference between the 1660 and 1660 super is just slightly faster gddr and performance is almost the same yet the current price difference ??
