Question GTX 1660 Ti worthy upgrade from RX 470 for playing Anthem ?

[crockman]

I started playing Anthem, via Origin.

The Computer, I personally built 4 years ago, running Anthem at the moment is:

MB - ASRock Z97 Pro4
RAM - 16GB
CPU - i5 4690k (not oc'd)
Cpu Cooler - Arctic Alpine 11 Plus
GPU - RX 470 4GB (MSI Gaming-X)
PSU - XFX- XTR 550Watt 80-plus Gold
Display - Vizio 39" E390i Smart TV (1920 X 1080 Max Resolution)

Will the new Nvidia GTX-1660 Ti be a worthy upgrade over my present RX-470 ?
A few months ago I had been considering an upgrade to a 1070, but it cost more then I wanted to spend.

Will my i5-4690k successfully run the GTX-1660 Ti ?

I'd rather not spend the money to build a completely new PC at this time, additionally I'd rather not spend much over $300 for this Anthem Upgrade.

The Games I play are:
Anthem
Star Wars Galaxies-Legends
Star Wars Old Republic
World of Warcraft
EVE
Elite Dangerous

Those are the main games I play, plus others but none as Graphic Intensive as Anthem.

Frostbite based games LOVE lots of available threads. Battlefield games can easily peg out 8 cores. The CPU seems like it was well worth it. The GPU wasn't that much of an upgrade for the cost, but if it makes you happy, then awesome

Yup. BFV likes cores for sure. I will say this though, for some reason Frostbite with BFV doesn't use 100% of CPU or GPU resources. There's a bottleneck somewhere that's annoying because it's keeping me from running higher frame rates. Last night my 2080TI never got above 70% utilization and my CPU cores were never anywhere near maxed.

In Athem it will full on murder my GPU with 100% utilization.

Could be a memory limitation someplace. Speed or capacity.

I'm running 16GB of 3600mhz 16-16-16-36 DDR4. I could have tighter timings but I have a hard time believing that's the bottleneck. Game is installed on a fairly fast NVME drive and I've turned off everything I can think of that would be running in the background. I'm pretty stumped. BFV is the only game I see that kind of behavior in. Everything else there's clearly some form of CPU/GPU bottleneck.
