Review: MSI, ASUS and Palit GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphic cards

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 02/22/2019 04:00 PM | source: | 229 comment(s)

We have a handful of new reviews to present today. NVIDIA is launching the 279 USD GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. We've talked about it a lot, it is the more affordable offering, Turing GPU based, yet stripped from RT and tensor functionality. These cards all perform at a GeForce GTX 1070 performance level, yet are priced substantially lower making them fine drop in cards in an up-to 2560x1440 (quad HD) monitor resolution. Pure shader performance. E.g., it's a normal graphics card. We start off today with four reviews, followed by more brand and card reviews soon:

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).

Yeah,if you like playing old games its...worth Gtx 1070 8GB.
If you like new games like Metro Exodus and the future Cyberpunk,

Dying Light 2

then get Rtx 2060 in that price.

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.
