Average Bench: 92.4% (28th of 611)

Based on 2,512 user benchmarks.  Device: 10DE 2182 Model: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

The GTX 1660 Ti the latest mid-range and mid-priced graphics card for gamers, succeeding the now two year old GTX 1060 6GB. As NVIDIA have tried to imply with their naming convention, performance of this 16 series GPU lies somewhere between their 10 series and 20 series but the 16 does not contain any of the recent RTX cores, which given the lack of RTX ready games, by itself is no hindrance at all. The 1660 Ti features a new TU116 Turing based die, 6GB of VRAM, 1536 CUDA cores and has a 120W TDP which is a remarkably low power draw for its performance. The reference GPU clock speeds are 1500MHz and 1770MHz for base and boost respectively, and manufacturer overclocked speeds will be higher. Early benchmarks show that the 1660 Ti has a clear 33% effective speed advantage over its $60 cheaper 1060 6GB predecessor and that it performs just 4% slower than the $80 more expensive GTX 1070 in terms of effective speed. As well as crowding out the direct competition from NVIDIA’s own 1070, at an opening price of $280, the GTX 1660 Ti competes squarely with AMD’s RX 590 ($260) which has an 18% lower effective speed. Perhaps this will be an impetus for AMD to adjust pricing for the RX 590 and offer something more value-led in the mid-range. [Feb '19 GPUPro]

i like it cause my name is robert (joke aside, this is allot cheaper than the 1070 and with overclocking it can get to 1070 performance so it's definitely recommendable)

Turing finally steps in the mid-end territory, here with a 1070-like performance. Very good value at 280 MSRP, establishing Nvidia's dominance on the market even further.

Coming from a GTX 1060 I wasn't sure if this was going to be worth the upgrade but after just one night, I can already say that I am happy with my decision to move forward with getting the GTX 1660. This thing is a Powerhouse. And has a much smaller form-factor than my MSI 1060 6GB. This card was absolutely made to be overclocked(I have the MSI Ventus XS OC). Initial testing shows near 100% stability with extremely few artifacts with core clock boosted by 125 megahertz and memory clock boosted by 1500 megahertz, which is the highest that MSI afterburner will allow. Still need to do additional testing to find maximum overclock stability over extended periods of time. This is in stark contrast to my 1060, which could only handle about plus 80 or 90 core clock, and about +450mhz vram boost. Well worth the money for the upgrade even from the 1060
