ASUS GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Phoenix 6GB GDDR6
80 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews
Most users find the GTX 1660 Super offers great value for its price, with solid 1080p and even 1440p gaming performance. Several mention it runs hot and the single fan can be noisy, but many note that undervolting or adjusting fan curves solves the issue. A few users report compatibility with older CPUs and praise the easy installation. Overall, it's seen as a reliable budget GPU, though thermal and noise management could be better.
