Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 OC 6G Graphics Card, 2X Windforce Fans, 6GB 192-Bit GDDR5, Video Card

What I like about this card was the speed for the price! I didn't get the Ti version because as soon as this card is obsolete the Ti version will be struggling and need to be replaced too. Just didn't make sense. I like the $200-$230 range anyway. I also like the fact it doesn't use a lot of power and create a lot of heat. I upgraded from a GTX 970. While the 970 does ok the 1660 seems not to sweat when games get intense. Also this uses only a single 6 pin power connector where as my 970 uses 2. I recently built a new computer and wanted something powerful and quite at the same time while being efficient. My new computer uses a seasonic 450 gold power supply and handles this card fine. To sum up if your looking for a great video card without breaking the bank look no further. -Well it's 2024 and I am still using this card. This tells me two things. One, you can't this bang for the buck anymore which is ashame. Two, lucky for people like me (who don't want to pay a half a grand for a new video card) there are still great older games to be played. Take care all!

NOTE: Before anything, i wanted to say that you will need an 8 pin power connector for this card! This card needs power to operate, so make sure your power supply has an additional 8 pin cable available!REVIEW: I originally had a 1 gb graphics card before this and it would work okay, but even basic games would lag at high settings.... now... queue this card. This card was very affordable compared to its competition, it had a decent amount of video ram, and my games can now run at high quality, 60+ FPS easily. The fan is quiet and I think it was a worthwhile investment.

I have only owned this product for a single day. It installed easily. The software went in easily. I do not do gaming. I bought this because I needed greater resolution from a 32 inch 4K monitor. I was hoping I would see a decent picture from it. I did. It seems to work perfectly for me. As I said, no gaming. I use two monitors and this drives them nicely. The fans don't seem to run. I put my fingers into this board as far as they could go to feel for heat. This thing runs very cool. I would expect it to heat up if I used it for gaming. Moving pictures around in photoshop and using an html editor work very well with this board. I also use this for PCB designing and writing C++ code. All the graphics involved with the PCB editor move around without a glitch. I cannot forecast how long it will run. I do know that heat is the enemy of semiconductors. Maybe I will luck out because I do not stress it with gaming. I hope to use it for several years. My PCB design software uses the GPU to augment the cpu when it is deciding how to run all my traces. Holy s***. My traces are now drawn in an instant. Having a GPU to augment your desktop cpu is a very nice feature of some software out there. Another feature I like about this board is that it is surrounded by plastic. This helps keep some inadvertent screwdriver touch from frying the board. I can say that I am very happy with my purchase. I will try to remember to update this review in six months.

Honestly nothing I can dislike about this card, Installed easy, came right up with the generic drivers, then installed the official drivers.I can play most my games on max settings. Fallout 4, Arma 3, Just Cause 3. I think I had to tweak Just Cause 4 and GTA5 down from Ultra high to High, but they still look beyond Impressive.If you are not looking to shell out $700+ on a VR graphics card then this card will work well and not disappoint.The PC is a simple HP Envy 700, not a 'Gaming tower' with stock fans and a box that was probably not designed for maximum airflow. I mention this because even gaming for a few hours on max, I can hear the fan kick up as expected but it is by no means is it loud or unreasonable. (PC is right by my feet)I'm writing this review because I was just recommending this to my friend and had the pull up the listing. #HonestReviews
