Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

In principle, I am satisfied with the card, but at the moment it is very expensive, taking into account the initial price of 17-20k (I took it myself for 20)

Pros
  • - No more expensive than other options - Enough performance for all modern games 1080p-1440p - The temperature in all games is below 70 degrees - Not very noisy - Backlight
Cons
  • - Price at the end of 2022. This applies to all 1660 super - Plastic backplate, in fact, plays only an aesthetic role.

I bought it in November 2022 for $285. In December, the price rose to $500 and now it has become inexpedient to buy it. Works well with modern games in Full HD. WOT 150-200 fps/ultra in HD. CS GO 750-1100fps/Low 1280*1024 . Metro Exodus 100fps/Ultra HD. Cyber ​​Punk 2077 55-60 fps/medium-high. In short, if the rays are not needed, then this card is SUPER!

Pros
  • Best graphics card under $300 (price/fps) for 2022. Cool. Customizable backlight. Quiet.
Cons
  • Doesn't make coffee

Completely lived up to expectations. I bought it in 2022 at the end of September, at that time it cost 21k, I still thought that I was giving away a lot))))) But looking at the current situation, I can say that I was lucky as ever) Although I saw it for 15-16k in the summer. The plans were to change in a year or a year and a half to something from the RTX series, changed, check!) In general, we sit and wait until everything settles down)(

Pros
  • A great option for those who want to play at ultra settings and at a stable 60 Fps without giving a lot of money.
Cons
  • Didn't find

Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

If the budget is tight, then take it you will not regret it. If you have a couple of extra thousand, take the RTX 2060 or 2060 super, there will be a margin for 2k resolution. I myself use philips 245E-1S. With zalman i3 there is no noise at all, only if you put your ear against the front screws you can hear noise, and then as it turned out from the cooler.

Pros
  • 1) Price / quality 2) Cooling (load 65 degrees / idle 45) zalman i3 case (stock turntables) 3) Noiselessness (like up to 50 degrees, the turntables do not turn on, in games the fans spin by 50-60%) 4) Performance (GTA5 ultra + 2k: 50-60 fps, the Witcher is the same 50-60 fps, Odyssey 50-60 almost all on ultra) I don’t chase fps in the priority of the picture, since I lost 20 fps all my life. 5) Backlight RGB 2.0 download the program, customize any color for yourself, there are modes
Cons
  • 1) The quality of the body material (plastic bends, but not critical, you will notice it only during installation. 2) Particularly picky may notice a dull tint.

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

Now the price is already 22,000. Every month, shops throw 1000 on it. Take it until it costs 35,000 a cake. But seriously, it's better to add some more money and take RTX.

Pros
  • The card does not reduce, does not fart and does not buzz. I play 2k on high settings in all new games. It heats up to a maximum of 65-70 degrees. The fans turn on at about 54 degrees, respectively, without load, the fans stand still. There is even an illuminated logo.
Cons
  • Price, bought for 20,700, a bit too much for a budget card.

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

I bought this video card due to the fact that the old one could not cope with two monitors with a 4K resolution. I don’t play demanding games, so I didn’t chase performance. Since I rarely change hardware, I ran into a problem connecting two monitors: I connected them via Display Port (of which there are three) and plugged cables into the connectors that were more convenient for me (two lower ones). And in this case, only one of the two monitors worked. When I connected only one monitor, it…

Pros
  • The card is moderately quiet (maybe it hasn't been clogged with dust yet). I got up without any problems. With AORUS ENGINE, you can both overclock the card and change the fan speed.
Cons
  • To check the performance, I downloaded a test quake - at the maximum settings I had terrible brakes. But since I don't play, it doesn't matter to me.

Happy as an elephant! Got pros: The card is just perfect! Cold, quiet, good frequencies both in stock and in boost. I don’t plan to overclock myself, and everything pulls fine, and the factory has already overclocked it moderately, but the potential for overclocking is good with such a cooling system. Got cons: Well, perhaps you can make a disadvantage of its length for those who have a very small body. Although now even the cheapest cases are made in such a way that the longest possible video…

Satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

I considered it, and 2060, stopped at 1660s, because the price in St. Petersburg (September 2022, Polyus store) at the time of purchase was 19500 against 25-26 for the younger RTX. I use old and not demanding games, I need a map mainly for 3dsmah viewport, photoshop, sometimes virey and other working programs. The computer itself is more like a CPU-render farm based on ryzen 9. So, from the minuses, I've had video for 1.5 months, and it started to crack under load. The sound disappeared with a…

Pros
  • performance, aesthetic appearance, price / quality
Cons
  • extraneous noise under load

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

I bought it on sale, cheaper by as much as 1000. I took to replace a weak card with 1 GB of memory from AMD. I work with large files in Photoshop and with video in Pinnacle 22. Computer on i7 (LGA1155). Memory 32 Gb 1333 MHz. Became smarter. I'm not going to overclock, so I can't say anything. Long body, but got into the system unit. I had to fiddle a little with the wires. Maybe I'll play around with the fan settings, but later, now it's not up to it. If you have a desire to purchase a…

Pros
  • Fundamental stuff. Pretty quiet, but compared to the Asus radeon HD 5670 1 GB, the fans are noisier (30 dB in the room, 42 dB near the computer), for which I took off one star. Half would be better, but it doesn't work. Supports CUDA. For me, this is a big plus. The beautiful logo shimmers in the dark, but it is not visible behind the closed blank sidewall. Temperature 49-51°C. The case has 3 fans for intake and exhaust. Satisfied. I'm not going to return. I hope that will last at least 36 months of warranty.
Cons
  • A little noisy, but this is critical only when dubbing videos. I think the soundproofing problem can be solved. But the fact that NVIDIA no longer supports 32-bit Windows was an unpleasant surprise for me. Nowhere is it written about this (it is written on the forums; the last supposedly working driver found on the network did not start.) I had Win 7 x64 and x86 installed on my machine. The result is that you have to sell a good but somewhat outdated SCSII scanner that works with wide and X-ray film.

Not worth the money, I will not advise this product.

Are you looking for something to lubricate once a month? Buy this video. There are many such reviews. Pros below: On a 2022 computer (i7 2600, 32gb), it pulls the current top games at maximum speeds on fullhd about 60 fps. At 2k, it pulls about 40 fps at maximum speeds (ultra, nightmares, etc.), at high settings 60 fps. Cons: After 3 months, 1 out of 3 coolers began to crackle. Lubricated, after a while the other two coolers crunched. Lubricated with a special grease for coolers. It did not…

What a horrible quality, wasted money for nothing.

I decided to change seats with saphhire rx 580 8gb nitro + oc. Examined externally in the store, brought home. Plugged into pc. Uninstalled AMD driver, installed Nvidia. On the desktop 35°, fan speed at 50% in msi autoburner (almost inaudible), rx with the same settings was 28°. Launched furmark, everything was normal. Decided to test the games. Launched the metro exodus - error and departure. Launched GTA5, same thing. I went into Steam - it was burning with artifacts like a Christmas tree…

Pros
  • Lightweight, does not sag Very quiet
Cons
  • Dump(

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Upgraded from GT440 2Gb to this charm, happy as an elephant)) Anyone who is thinking about buying a card for FullHD Ultra 60FPS - take this one and you won't regret it. With its pros: + Power. The frequency independently accelerates in some games up to 2070 MHz with the declared 1860 MHz. Almost all games from 19-20s are on ultras at 60+ FPS. + Cooling system. The temperature does not rise above 50-60 degrees, thanks to the three-fan cooling system from Gigabyte. + Noise. Or rather, its…

Best price for this product, will buy more!

Was purchased in June 2022, for 18K. Now on ebay you can meet her for 50K and above. It is difficult to disassemble the video card, to change the thermal paste, thermal pads, and clean the radiator. But thanks to youtube it's possible)

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

If you do not plan to use everything on 4K, one of the best FB. With its pros: Efficiency by the standards of the / productivity. Quiet and not hot. FPS on HD 120 and higher in medium games. With other works in the schedule, calculations, it is quite enough. Cons: Not yet. For those who don't have enough backlighting, put backlit coolers in the case.

Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

I put it in a new assembly, I enjoyed it for 2 weeks, but then, the computer suddenly passed out. There was no energy surge. I turn on the computer, some chip on the card starts to burn with a blue flame and smoke) I handed it over to the service, they said to expect an answer within 45 days 😱 I bought it in Pleer. Ru

I took it as a universal one for both infrequent games and for Photoshop. On the most resource-intensive Photoshop applications that use the GPU itself, it freely accelerates to 2050 without any manipulations, while the cooler only works at 30%, the processing speed has increased slightly more than twice from the old card. It's bad that not all applications use the video adapter. Absolutely silent, so don't trust anyone, the fans are always in stock, the temperature did not rise above 60 during

Pros
  • To date, according to tests, the most productive card paired with TI for Full HD resolution. new DDR 6 memory, cooling operation. very light.
Cons
  • No.

The budget for the video card was up to 20k, I wanted to take the RX 590, since there is 8GB of memory for everything. But after looking at the comments and performance tests, nvidia with its cores excels in games even with 3GB of memory. Of course, I applied GDDR6 to the purchase, as games are becoming more demanding on it. My 1660 is 90% super satisfied! Has pros: The massive cooling system inspires confidence in this video card. It runs well, through the native gigabyte utility, the…
