MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6GB GDDR6 OC Graphics Card - 192-bit, HDMI/DP, VR Ready, Dual Fan Cooling - Perfect for 1080p Gaming, Streaming & Content Creation

Well, I just received mine (MSI Gaming X) GTX 1660 Super in less than 24 hours. I decided to share my opinion and evaluation of the graphic card at this stage and right after a super fast hardware installation on my PC which officially retired the previous model Asus-GTX 1060 3GB. So after the hardware replacement I just turned on my computer and I had my screen display almost about the same time I used to wait before. It's also good to mention that, I never had a bad experience with Asus in the past, not on my graphic card and not on anything else I have ever used but Asus was never my preferred brand like the way MSI is and with this purchase once again it was proven to me how superior the MSI production line is in comparison with all others. And this card is actually one of the most expensive cards on 1660 Super and at the time of purchase none of the available MSI series were close to the base price of the 1660 Super but again I had an intention to pay the difference and try this particular one. I was debating with myself on either the Gtx 1660 Ti or 1660 Super and I searched almost any reliable sources on the internet to get a fair comparison differences and as you guys know, they both have a lot in common but there are still differences which some people might care about. The price differences at the time of purchase between these two models was almost $10 and this the 1660 Ti which was gradually losing it's original price tag to become more competitive with the new comer. Anyway, I did installed almost everything from the scratch and I tried to do a fresh installation for as much as it was possible and I also added all MSI available utility software available for this card and started to get the tests. The results were impressive and I really don't want to copy and paste bunch of numbers here that you can simply find elsewhere. What I like to stress out on this particular card and after being patient for a very long time period for this production line to become available in the market is started shining when I started playing with the same games I used to play with my virtual reality headset and that was when I truly realized how powerful this card really is. It's all about going to the maximum level of a game can be played and I could never ever get even close to it with the previous model, it's about the picture clarity and speed in parallel with full functionality and responsiveness specially when you are doing VR in order to avoid getting dizzy or feeling bad and ... it's about the power of new gaming architectural design also known as Turning Shaders and.... The card itself is very solid with great dimensions which I believe it fits easily even in mid sized cases but mine is a full size case. The beautiful design and RGB (adjustable with MSI Mystic Light) it looks great while blazing performance of the card, blown your mind away. Finally about the fan and the temperature (which I can only speak about this card), even after tweaking the variables on MSI Afterburner and overclocking the card, you still don't hear any sound from the card and if you don't put the card under heavy load, you don't even see the fans rotations. It's truly quite a peace of art with today's technology.I would definitely update my review if anything negative or unexpected happens but for now I would highly recommend this card to anyone who is interested in doing what I was planning to do.The only reason you might want to hold on buying this card for your system is if you are waiting to see what finally supposed to come out of the AMD production line which is understandable but you might need to replace your UPS if you ever need to shift with AMD GPU in the future.
