Palit GeForce GTX 1660 StormX OC review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/14/2019 03:00 PM [ 71 comment(s) ]

We review a GeForce GTX 1660 that is priced spot on 219 USD, the MSRP of the new non-Ti model, meet the petite Palit GeForce RTX 1660 StormX OC edition. Based on a big single fan and a small form factor you should not be fooled by its looks. It performs well on all fronts, including cooling acoustic levels.

It all comes down to making sure you buy the right card for what you're going to be using it for. Because nobody will convince me that a low end card (like r9 480) definitely needs 8gb vram when they're gaming on low/medium settings at 1080p.

But, but, but MuLTi-GPu!.!.!!

Texture setting is a luxury. Textures does not effect the framerate at all. Its either you have enough vram or you dont.

580 8gb can max out Apex Legends and 1660 6gb cant (insane texture setting) its simple as that.

@airbud7 yeah ok looks like i7 6850k is the fastest cpu right now.

@airbud7 yeah ok looks like i7 6850k is the fastest cpu right now.

1660 ti, with 6GB of ram, gets better performance then the 580 and 590 in apex legends, maxed out, you're so-called theory that the RX 580 8GB is what allows the RX 580 to max it out over a 1660 is moot point at that point, since obviously, if the ti, with the same 6GB of ram, can out perform both the 580 8gb and 590 in apex, the mythical bottleneck you propose is non-existent.

In fact i can barely find any review websites that have tested the 1660 non-ti on apex legends, only one i can find is gamers nexus, which proves you wrong on their review



Now i'll grant you that says high, you said insane, i have not played apex legends so i can't say weather or not high is the highest, or if insane is an actual setting you do can, but point being, there are no reviews that have tested this, and yet you're coming out here claiming as though something is factual, when it's not.

Since you like youtubers so much



But again, it is tested with everything on high, i do see where it states: "Texture Streaming Budget" and that's not set to the highest. I have seen a few youtube channels set it to the highest (insane) and there does not seem to be a difference, that being said, that's not 100% accurate i'm certain since every youtuber i have found so far shows gameplay and fps but does not do a comparison to any other graphics cards.

So where is your mythical deduction about apex legends?



Seems to do "insane", just fine, something you literally, said it "can't"




580 8gb can max out Apex Legends and 1660 6gb cant (insane texture setting) its simple as that.

@Undying do you like liking someones post when they call you out and you have nothing to back up your claims? 2nd time you've done this, in this thread alone. Or is it an admit you're wrong like?

If you have something to back up your posts, do it, otherwise i don't understand why you continue to make such outlandish statements with nothing to back it up unless you like to troll, which it seems you do, if you can't back anything up.

You're reminding me of warlord more and more every day, are you two one and the same?

@Aura89 Undying is an AMD fan more than I would ever be. He loves his 580 I hate my 390X, no comparison. Lol.

Anyway less vram amount equals bigger performance drop in bigger resolutions in comparison with lower ones only if the amount is the limiter. Raw power overwhelms capacity. That's a well known law.

Useless ram and vram will never offer extra performance. And if any game allows you to play without crashing, then the vram and ram amount is irrelevant.

So, if any game is playable or any app is working with 6gb gtx16 series, it would perform the same even if it had 2 extra gigabytes. If the performance is underwhelming is due to architecture itself.
