Review on Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 OC 6G Graphics ๐ŸŽฎ Card with 2X Windforce Fans - Review, Specs, and Pricing by John Hall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just what I need for graphics cards

I bought this as an upgrade to a cheap GTX 1060 3GB that came with the build. It overclocks well, but isn't required for anything with DirectX 11 or earlier, and runs Shadow of the Tomb Raider at maxed settings at 1080p with near-seamless factory operation. Even at full speed the fans aren't as loud as expected and this works with MSI Afterburner if you feel the need to adjust the fan speed curve. The only problem I encountered was the automatic operating system updates and their tendency to overwrite the correct drivers. Physically, it fits perfectly into the Mini-ATX case, sticking out just about half an inch past the expansion slot cover, and offers a great solution for smaller, ITX-like cases where fitting an equally good-looking card with comparable specs would require a Challenge was at this price. The bundled software is quite problematic, throwing an error in Event Viewer and causing performance issues, but is easy to uninstall. and totally unnecessary.

Pros
  • Complete kit
Cons
  • Hard to tell
