Shopping for a graphics card these days is tricky. Are the newer cards worth the money? Are the older cards still good? Today, I'm taking a look at the RX 580, GTX 1660, and RX 5500 XT to see which one, if any, is worth it for your budget-friendly PC.
But first... What am I drinking???
Level Beer (Portland, OR) Five Pound Hammer Hazy IPA (7.0%). This took the opposite route of hazys for me... usually I like the first couple drinks, and hate them by the end. This one started out harsh, and seemed to get just a bit fruitier as the glass went on. Still hazy though...
