I have a GTX 1660 super and I was wondering if its worth it to upgrade solely for RTX dlss benefits, and also what’s the cheapest card I can get that would be comparable or better to my current card.

RTX itself isn’t worth it, most games has crappy performance with it turned on (at least with the 3070 i bought), the only game I’ve played entirely with it turned on is the recent Spider-Man games (well, and Quake 2 RTX but thats not really a demanding game). But DLSS is worth it, you might get a big framerate increase in games that supports it, and might be able to run at high quality settings where you before had to choose performant settings. And DLSS forces antialias on, but that aa algorithm looks better and is more performant than the regular ones, particularly when in motion. Except in MW2, it causes some weird grainy artifacts there.

But if you don’t have it, I would have prioritized a gsync compatible display. Its the biggest improvement in apparent game performance in recent decade, imho.
