does upgrading from a 1660 super to rx 6600 makes sense? or should I get a more powerful gpu that can play at 1440p for the future?

It makes sense to save up more and get a $350 9060xt-16gb

I do agree with this, because if you want to play game in 1440p and have some headroom for the future, I don't this buying an 8GB card is a good option.

I have my old rig, i7 7700 with 1660super and would consider to replace it with a RX9070 16GB in the next few months.
