Pros: -Looks amazing! -Very quiet, while still offering fantastic cooling performance. MSI have really showed their years of experience with the Twin Frozer design -Over-clocks well, with MSI Afterburner offering a good amount of control over the card (having complete control will require a custom VBIOS, but most people won't need that) -Metal back-plate looks great and helps dissipate heat as well as add rigidity so the card won't sag since the heat-sink is decently heavy -Great performance! The jump to GDDR6 memory made a huge difference, and I have run the most memory heavy game I have (Nier: Automata with Hi-res textures) and it takes it like a champ and doesn't hit the memory limit! I am beating GTX1070's with my setup ^_^ -Uses very little power, even when recording -Has a built in hardware encoder so you don't incur extra CPU usage while recording and gaming intensively. I haven't tested this much since I am not a youtuber/streamer but I do some video editing once in a while and it is a nice feature Cons: -More expensive than the base price of the card. You get what you pay for in my opinion, but it is not the ultra budget option (EVGA has a nice card that is 40-60 USD cheaper) -The RGB lighting is nice, but I don't have any other lighting so it looks a bit off. You can install a program to control it, but I don't want to bloat my system with a bunch of other services -GPU Boost 3.0 is great, and automatically over-clocks for you (I got 1920 MHZ without touching the frequency controls) but it also throttles your card artificially because MSI doesn't want it to perform better than their higher tier cards. Use the auto over-clocking in afterburner as a suggestion and manually overclock the card to avoid this. I hit 2075 Mhz for the core and 7500 Mhz for the memory, and that is extremely conservative -MSI put restrictions on how hard push the overclock to prevent stupid people (like I was with my GTX970) from breaking their cards. You can remove this with a custom VBIOS, but I don't recommend it and for most people it will not be an issue TL;DR Great performance, 6 gigabytes of VRAM, very quiet and very cool looking. Worth the 280 USD I spent for it!Read full review

I have been using this GTX 1660 Super from MSI Graphics card for over a few weeks, throwing what I can at it. The 1660 Super is an amazing card to get into entry level gaming, WAIT!!! READ MORE!!! What I mean is that, it will do what you want, when you want it. Granted, you took the time to properly install the latest drivers from Nvidia. - Grand Theft Auto 5 = Recommended settings set by game is VERY HIGH on some parts and just HIGH, on the others. This is giving me 60 Solid FPS at 1080P on a crappy monitor that feels like an eternity for refresh. (60 Hertz @ 1080p) - Final Fantasy XIV (Critically acclaimed Best MMORPG) ^_^ WOW!!! IT RUNS IT ALL AND MORE!!!! Thank you for reading this, hope this really does help! Everything just works with Nvidia (With Updated Drivers lol) Good Luck!!!Read full review

solid bargain. I had a 1660 w/ 3GB and it was ok, I tried a AMD 5600XT and was very disappointed both in hardware performance and software access. So I went back to Nvidia and I'm NEVER LEAVING! Their hardware is superior, the graphics are phenomenal - in Borderlands 3 there are foggy valleys that looked incredible, with drifting, whispy fog; I've never seen graphics done so well! Stay with Nvidia! This supports 4 - FOUR! - monitors. I've run it one three combined into one huge playscreen and it worked flawlessly. For the money this is the best upgrade before the really expensive cutting edge cards; this one will keep you in the game for years! Love it! Totally recommend it.

The MSI GTX 1660 Super is one of the best 16 series cards. They have great coolers and fans for cool and quiet operation. It performs well and it has one of the best backplates on a 16 series card currently out on the market.

Not used for gaming but rather for video encoding using the on-board NVENC encoder. This works great, has good quality and seriously speeds up encoding rates as opposed to cpu only encoding.
