Product Showcase

We begin with our usual pages that show the ins and outs of this graphics card with photos, all taken with an in-house photo-shoot of course. MSI does offer a really proper looking card here with a dark PCB and dual-fan cooler.

The Gaming version of the GeForce GTX 1660 is powered by NVIDIA's more modest offering in Turing, lacking RT and Tensor cores. This is a TU116 graphics processor. These cards are fitted with 6 GB GDDR5 memory.

The card has a new gunmetal look dual-fan design (TwinFrozr 7) and has been fitted with one HDMI port and three DisplayPort connectors. MSI stripped away the DVI and space-occupying virtual link connector for VR purposes. The GeForce GTX series has DisplayPort 1.4 connectors, 1.4a Ready, enabling support for 8K displays at 60Hz.

Reference

Boost: 1,785 MHz

Leaving out these display ports creates room for an exhaust vent. Mind you, lacking is a virtual link and NVLINK connector, SLI is not supported
