Today we will be presenting the EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 SC Ultra Gaming Graphics Card. We can consider this to be a budget friendly card. The specs indeed say so. I don’t mean that in a negative way either this is pretty much right there with the 1660 Ti in specs. Now the price of this card is what first intrigued me. Lets take a look at what we can get for around the same price range. Looks like I could get a RX 570, RX 580, 1050 Ti, and 1650. This card will easily out perform each one of those cards. This card has almost on par performance with a 1660 Ti and what great’s, it cost a little less. As far as comparable prices this iteration takes the cake.
The EVGA GeForce GTX 16-series graphics cards are powered by the all-new NVIDIA Turing architecture to give you incredible new levels of gaming realism, speed, power efficiency, and immersion. With the EVGA GeForce GTX 16-series gaming cards you get the best gaming experience with next generation graphics performance, ice cold cooling, and advanced overclocking features with the all new EVGA Precision x1 software.
