Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Gaming OC review

We review the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Gaming OC edition. The non-Ti product is more value targeted and sits in NVIDIA's mainstream line of the GTX 1660 series products. Gigabyte has already factory tweaked the card a notch for you. You get all the good stuff, yet without RTX features and Tensor cores.

These cards should have been faster than a 1070 like the 1060 vs 970 but no... not even a decent upgrade from 1060.

It’s about 20-25% faster than the 1060 6GB on average that’s a decent upgrade in performance for about $50 less launch MSRP. The 1660ti is about 40-45% faster than the 1060 6GB at the same launch MSRP and that one sits right between the 1070 and 1070ti most of the time.

Its only 10-15% faster than RX580 for 50$ more. I dont think this is worth it even if you have 1060.

And no one is saying 6GB is to little to late ! My 1070 struggles at 1440p all on ULTRA ! or try R6Siege at that resolution on Very high ... without the Ultra Texture pack . It's not always about the speed ... more is better ! I agree that maybe 2080 12GB is overkill but 8GB should be the norm by now. 6Gb is bare minimum

HH, one question ! On GTA V page I see 117 FPS @ 1080p and 73 FPS @ 1440p. Is the difference that big ( not tipo ) ? Or the game favors 8GB cards?
