Review on MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 6GB GDRR5 Dual Fan Graphics Card - HDMI/DP 192-Bit, HDCP Support, DirectX 12, VR Ready, OC (GTX 1660 VENTUS XS 6G OC) by Steve Waldbillig

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good GPU so far for internals

I've only used this card for a few days and can't vouch for long-term results, but so far it's quiet, doesn't get hot and performance is good. It probably deserves the generally good reviews it's getting here and I hope it lasts as long as my last two Geforce cards (from another manufacturer). Unfortunately, I didn't really like my experience with the MSI website and account creation process and just didn't want to be associated with this company anymore. Product registration is not required to fulfill the warranty (this is the law in this country) but if you later need it to fulfill the warranty it wouldn't be unreasonable that they require a verification process anyway so I gave it a try to register. It's not uncommon for today's websites to contain so much scripting and cookies, but I don't agree with a corporate website I have to trust abusing this process for marketing interests and intrusive data collection. Client. Despite this, I continued through several phases of the process until I had more than enough. I just wanted an account to facilitate product registration, not to do surveys or anything like that. I hope the card lasts at least the warranty period so I don't have to deal with them which is a shame as they obviously make some competing products.
