One of the available 2019 mid-range graphics cards based on the TU116 GPU with Nvidia Turing microarchitecture. Among the advantages of this model, it is worth noting the GPU factory overclocking profiles and the use of a quiet proprietary WindForce 2X cooling system based on a high-performance composite heat pipe and two durable axial fans with ball bearings. A powerful cooling system provides a certain margin of safety for additional moderate overclocking of both the GPU and memory.
The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 OC 6G graphics card is positioned as an affordable product of the middle price category, designed for assembling gaming and universal home systems at a reasonable cost. Moderate power consumption makes it an excellent option for upgrading (upgrading) an existing configuration. Thanks to the progressive microarchitecture and increased clock speeds, the speed of this model is quite enough for comfortable gaming in any popular game projects of 2015-2020 in FullHD resolution at high or maximum possible graphics quality settings. It is equipped with a significant amount of graphics memory (6 GB GDDR5 with a 192-bit bus) and four digital interface ports (DisplayPort 1.4 dash and one HDMI 2.0b).
Always clarify the specifications and configuration of the product with the online store manager before purchasing.

For those missing the GTX 970
The intermediate NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 chip is designed to consolidate the company's success in the mid-price segment, where competitors in the face of the Radeon RX 580 and RX 590 are firmly registered. NVIDIA itself positions the 1660 as an perfect upgrade option for those gamers who once bought top-end GTX-based cards 960 and GTX 970 and now need additional boost and increased memory.
Performance close to 1660 Ti
Looking at the comparison charts, the GTX 1660 turns out to be the little brother of the extremely interesting 1660 Ti. The basis is actually the same TU116 chip, only slightly fewer stream processors (there are 1408 of them here) and texture units (88 in total). And instead of 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, we have the same volume, but in the form of GDDR5. The lag in performance from the older brother is somewhere around 15%, but it is easily reduced to a minimum by good overclocking potential. While the difference in price is more than 20 percent.
For lovers of overclocking
With regards to this particular GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 OC 6G model, there is a slight GPU overclock from the factory that provides an extra couple of percent performance. You can manually squeeze out another 10%. Even with such manipulations, the card remains quiet and cold — when the core was overclocked to 1980 MHz, the coolers worked at only 70% power, and the core temperature did not exceed 66 °C.
High price-performance ratio
Plus, this modification of the GTX 1660 from Gigabyte is devoid of nice, but unnecessary for many RGB backlighting, which made it possible to reduce the price as much as possible, making it one of the most affordable GeForce GTX 1660 video cards on the market. It is not for nothing that this particular modification is in the top sales of many online stores.
