Is it even worth getting a 1660 or any older gen card at this point or should I just wait it out?  The supply situation is getting me depressed.

I know how you feel. 1660 is still a decent card if it is all you can get your hands on, but it isn't good value for money.

Yeah that's how I feel. Their prices are still high but at least it's something

It's a decent lower/ mid level card  w/ NO raytracing ability...but it's better than using nothing.

It depends on what you're using it for. My 1660 ti has served me well at 1080p so far. Also, with AMD FSR coming out, you may get even more mileage out of these older cards.

It's a decent card for 1080p medium settings

Honestly, if you find a for a good price its viable and can serve you well

I have a 1660s. It's good enough for most games at 1080p from med - ultra settings depending on the game and if going under 60 fps in single player campaign games doesn't bother you(ie The Witcher 3,max settings 50ish fps) 

Thanks for the responses.  I guess I'm just finding it tough to justify spending money on something like that if it's just a stopgap.  Hopefully I can snag something else in the next couple weeks before all the other parts for my newest build arrive and I won't have to settle.

Just stay strong and hold out until you can buy the card you want. I considered getting a 1660s many times the past few months, but the ones I see in stock are currently 2x the price what they were 1 year ago, and I'd be kicking myself if prices of 3060/3060ti/3070 start dropping soon.
