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.

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
