Good value for money, I recommend.

High-performance video card with an unsuccessful cooling system. There is a slightly more expensive version of Aero ITX, which has a much better cooling system.

Pros
  • - High performance. Numerous benchmarks on the Internet confirm this. (4 times faster than the old GTX 650 Ti). - High speed GDDR6 video memory, which is very good for scientific applications (CUDA), for which the video card was bought. The difference in performance in scientific applications is about 30% compared to the version without the "SUPER" prefix, and the difference in price is about 10%.
Cons
  • The cooling system generates unstable periodic pressure pulsations and howls. And in 2022 - low-frequency aerodynamic beats. It turns out a kind of barking sound (the fan works "quietly-loudly") with a frequency of about 2-3 Hz. In terms of sound pressure, the fan is not very loud in standby mode, but even in this case, aerodynamic low-frequency beats are noticeable. When the video card is loaded at 100%, this effect is strong, but it blows very well at maximum speed, all the dust has been blown out of the case, the noise is decent. If one of the fans is stopped, the "beats" stop. If you use the computer in a server room, it's okay, for the home, choose a version with one fan (Aero ITX model), which practically does not add noise to the system, especially periodic low-frequency noise, and the efficiency of the cooling system is not much lower (at 100% load in auto mode Ventus XS heats up to 67 C, Aero ITX up to 71 C at an air temperature of 25 C).

Good product, I recommend that you try it.

A better solution seems to me to be 3050. It has dlss and rtx, which will give more fps and a beautiful game. The price difference is 2,000.

Pros
  • The video card is working, came quickly. Beautiful design, and most importantly - small, a little more than a palm.
Cons
  • Came in a Chinese box. Instruction in Chinese. There are Chinese stickers on the box. I hope it will work for a long time.

Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

I was looking for an ordinary video card to replace it, I did not consider top models in principle, there is no need. Chose RX580, took it. After several days and constant crashes with errors, after reading a bunch of forums, I realized that the Reds had problems with the drivers. Changed with a small surcharge on this one. Flights are gone. After measuring the performance, I was surprised by an increase of more than 40% compared to the rx580. The temperature is also 10 degrees cooler.

Pros
  • performance, no noise.
Cons
  • A complete stop of coolers when idle is a bit lacking, but this is in the gaming version, which is a little more expensive.

Good value for money, I recommend.

The card was purchased in April 2022 for 21000r, at the moment it has worked for 7 months, there were no problems, glitches and errors too. Even in summer, when it was hot, the cooling coped well, the card did not overheat. Drivers are ated regularly, the card works stably. Some pros: Good performance, for 2022 it pulls any toy quite worthy. It's nice that there is a backplate, but it's plastic, so it doesn't affect cooling, but it protects the card from accidental damage, etc. With its cons…

The right product for me, the price suited me.

Very happy with the purchase. Long chose from different offers on the market. I was very afraid that the cooling system would not cope or would make noise, but everything is fine. Haven't manually added revs yet. Red Dead Redemption 2 is on ultra. The temperature is normal. Its pros: Great video card. Much better than 1060, including 1060 ti, and quite a bit worse than 1070. The most optimal in the budget segment, which was in March 2022. I bought it for only 17.000. The order was placed on the

Not quite what I wanted, but mostly okay.

I read a lot of flattering reviews about the MSI 1660s ventus and decided - I should take it, because judging by the reviews, it runs great and is completely quiet, and in general - a top for budget gamers. But do not be fooled by marketing, it is noisy under load and the overclocking potential is extremely small, and if you want more, then it will just warm up like hell. The card itself isn't bad, but the chill is terrible. It is ideal for closed cases, provided that you do not try to squeeze

Pros
  • A good card for the budget segment, you can (for now) safely play all the new items at acceptable settings.
Cons
  • The entire Ventus series has terribly noisy turntables under load. Not suitable for overclocking.
