Review on GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 Ti OC 6G 🖥️ GDDR6 DisplayPort HDMI Windforce 2X Graphic Card - Gv-N166TOC-6GD by Josue Porter

Installing this card was a brutal process and resulted in 6 blue screen of death crashes in 5 days! I installed this card and Windows was able to run it at 1920x1080. Not great, but good enough to install the driver. The CD seemed to have a driver, but it was just an installer. Okay, ok, he'll get me a driver from the internet. Well he downloaded 113MB of "something" but it wasn't a driver. No, it was a program that insisted I create an account to get the driver. Oh, and there was a captcha too. It was bad enough, but it gets worse: 1. It downloaded these 113 MB at 20 KB per second. I'll do the math for you: that's over 1.5 HOURS. (By the way, I have a cable modem, which is usually 1000x faster. 2. Thinking it was the driver, I didn't realize it was the driver until I exited the installer and tried adjusting the resolution. . had to start over and wait another 1.5 hours to reinstall the same useless program.now I'm trying for about 4 hours to get the card working and give me the full 2560x1600 resolution.After the second download/ Installing/running the 113MB monster I created an account (why would I do that to get a driver? WHY?) and downloaded the real driver: over 200MB this time, but at least it loaded at full speed: about 15 seconds.After installing the actual driver, I was able to choose full resolution, boot up a second monitor, put all my icons back in place, etc. Everything looked fine despite the pain of the process s. Then a blue screen crashes. I took a picture of one of these to prove I didn't invent it. about once a day and they were completely random. Sometimes I did nothing at all: apart from the operating system, no programs were started, no mouse or keyboard entered; I just sit there and bam - blue screen. Other times I've done real work that's been lost. I ordered a Quatro P2000 as a replacement. The experience with Quatro was just the opposite: seamless installation, no additional software, Windows could run it at 2560x1600 without its driver (I went in anyway because that's what you do with graphics cards). Getting a driver was just as easy: no nonsense like setting up an account or checking captcha - absolutely no hassle. Now he works 2 weeks in a row and doesn't even hiccup. Needless to say, I sent this lemon product back. Was it a card? Was it the driver? I don't know and I don't care. This will be my last gigabyte card, that's for sure.
