There’s no denying the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 is a great graphics card for £200 / $220. Offering 60fps speeds at High or maximum settings at 1080p, and Medium to High at 1440p, it’s effectively replaced the 6GB GTX 1060 as my new best graphics card of choice for budget-conscious buyers. In terms of overall value, however, it faces stiff competition from the equally nippy AMD Radeon RX 590, which is a fraction more expensive than the GTX 1660 but currently comes with three free games to help sweeten the deal. As a result, those looking to simply upgrade their graphics card will almost certainly be able to make their money go further with the RX 590 than the GTX 1660.
If you’re looking to buy a whole new PC, however, then GTX 1660 machines such as the Apollo R1 from UK system builder PC Specialist may just have the upper hand again. Priced at just £699 with a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU and 8GB of RAM inside it, that’s a whole £150 less than PC Specialist’s otherwise identically-specced RX 590 offering. Yes, you can still offset some of that cost by taking into account the free copies of DMC 5, Resident Evil 2 and The Division 2 you’ll get with the RX 590 PC, but £853 is still quite a big chunk of change to spend all at once. So if you’re on the look-out for a reasonably-priced machine and simply can’t face the idea of building a PC yourself, then the Apollo R1 is a great place to start. Let’s take a look.
