GeForce GTX 1660: Nvidia's second affordable Turing graphics card

While Nvidia has mainly launched in the last few months its RTX models, more expensive, in the foreground, the chip maker is also trying to conquer the market of entry clbades and middle clbades. It started with the GTX 1660 Ti, launched in mid-February, but was just too expensive for many PC gamers.

On the other hand, the price of the "stripped down" GTX 1660 should appeal more to many potential customers. With a suggested retail price of 225 euros, the price of the card is about the same level as that of the RX 590 AMD. But can the Turing graphics card with budget without RTX capabilities beat the competition of the red team? The results of the specialized press paint a clear picture.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660: a good full HD graphics card at a reasonable price

The cheap GTX 1060 may seem to retire peacefully. With the GTX 1660, Nvidia offers a successor worthy of the name, which not only marks a clear progress in terms of performance, but also deserves a second research in terms of price. Even in demanding titles such as Metro Exodus, Battlefield 5 or The Division 2, the GTX 1660 can deliver a frame rate of over 60 frames per second in full HD resolution and with maximum detail. However, RTX features such as DLSS and Raytracing will not be available to potential customers because the low-cost Turing card has again refrained from installing RT and Tensor cores.
