MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti VENTUS XS review
Posted by: on: 02/22/2019 04:00 PM [
229 comment(s) ]
We review the new MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti VENTUS XS OC edition. This is the MSI MSRP product meaning it is tagged with a 279 USD price. This GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Gaming might not have the luxury design and cooler the other products have, but it is certainly nearly as fast and does perform really well.

Wow performance is ridiculously close to the 1070. at 1440P it's basically margin of error.

Man, this is the card to look out for. Barely uses power compared to competition and previous gen, performs solid, it's nice looking!

Around 1070 performance and little slower than 1070ti and V56.
Problem is this and i quote HH "The price, however, looks to be 339,- in Euros".

Power consumption is better than I expected, and the prices are within my expectations, ordered the MSI Armor version for 320€ (though the cheapest one, Ventus, is 305€ here).

Hi @Hilbert
Please check the Palit review again, title and text contains several times the wording "RTX 1660" instead of GTX, I assume those are typos?
Thanks for the reviews!

Ouch! For a moment I believed it.
"These cards all perform at a GeForce GTX 2070 performance level"
Huge typo there

Thanks fixed. Also, the number of times I had written RTX instead of GTX in the articles is amazing.

This is a good card. Probably great for notebooks too. Small, portable gaming boxes will love it.

Not the same price segment. Not even close. Only one around is RX-590 which was meaningless to begin with due to being too expensive in comparison to RX-580 and not performing reasonably better.
Try to post it once nV releases 1650(Ti). That time it may work.

That Strix is the godlike gpu of lower-mid range. Fast, cool and silent with an interesting consumption. I can't find anything wrong here except a 'lil overpricing.
It is equal or better than 1070 and Vega56, in the meantime has all the perks mentioned above. RX 590 seems a very bad option now. Almost 100w more power and much less performance. If Nvidia controls the pricing better, they've won easily all the gaming categories at the moment.

They don't need to. people will get this over the RX 590 and V56 simply because of efficiency and noise.

1660 6gb is 320Eur
There is a lot of difference in the price but I think that the performance at 1080p, which is about + 20%, justifies it? Sure if it was cheaper by 50 dollars but here we have to do with Nvidia
And I'm sorry for my English

I'm sorry do you see another card by nvidia that is $279 in this performance? No? Then your question is answered.

I'm very pleased to see that the GTX 1660 Ti holds up against the Vega 56, while also being half as expensive in my country; it's going to sell like hotcakes.
