Review: The World's Best Graphics Card under $300* - The MSI Ventus XS OC is a solid design at NVidia's MSRP for the 1660Ti. A two-fan, two-slot design with a backplate will fit in just about any system, short of an ITX system (pictures in my review are the 1660Ti installed in a Micro-ATX case build). For under $300, the performance and capabilities of this card blow away any and all competition. You can pretty much expect GTX 1070-like performance (some games, it will run faster than a 1070, others slower, but on average, expect pretty-much 1070 performance at a cost that is less than the 1070 was when it launched). The #1 card people use on STEAM right now is the GTX 1060-6GB... this card is a solid 35%-40% faster than a GTX 1060 and will probably replace it as the #1 card on STEAM in the near-future (it's that good). In AMD's corner, at the same price point is the RX 590... this card is 25% faster than a RX 590 and uses half the power consumption, running cooler, quieter and playing games better than the RX 590. Nvidia has also enabled AMD Freesync monitor support in their GeForce drivers... and it can be any Freesync monitor, not just one on their shortlist. Simply use the latest NVidia drivers, turn-on Freesync on your monitor choose "Set up G-SYNC" in your NVidia Control panel and turn it on (only works in Win10, btw). I am using my 1660Ti with an AMD Freesync monitor and it works just great! There really is no other card in this price bracket that offers better performance, better power usage or that runs cooler for the gaming muscle this card provides. MSI's conservative 2-fan, 2-slot design in the Ventus XS is a well-rounded solid choice without strange gimmicks, too many or too few fans or crazy 3-slot designs seen from it's competitors... all this at NVidia's MSRP makes this simply the best graphics card under $300 at the time of launch. One of the pictures is a GPU comparison using the Radeon RX 580 as a baseline of 100% tested on Assassins Creed Odyssey at 1080p (courtesy of Tech Deals on YouTube)... every other card listed is in comparison to the RX 580 on the same game and shows how much faster it is in comparison... so the GTX 1660Ti is 42% faster than an RX 580 in that test. Certainly there are faster cards out there, but you need to compare how much you are spending for the performance you are getting... the 1660Ti is a great card for the performance at this price point. *Late 2019 update: my initial review was written launch week of the 1660Ti (Feb 2019)... as with anything in the tech industry, things change as time marches on. While this card is still an awesome card, and I have ZERO regrets having purchased it and enjoy it every day, if you're looking for a new GPU at the end of 2019 under $300, the only real competition to the 1660Ti is NVidia's own competition... the recently released 1660 Super. The 1660 Super's performance is nearly identical to the 1660Ti across the board... usually the 1660Ti will just barely edge-out the 1660 Super by a frame or two here or there, so the 1660Ti is still technically faster than the 1660 Super, but not anything that anyone would notice (literally only one or two FPS in any game)... the difference is the 1660 Super is cheaper than the 1660Ti... so you can save a good chunk of change and ALMOST get the exact same performance of a 1660Ti if you pick up a 1660 Super. If you already or recently purchased a 1660Ti, you still have a great card and the best of the 1660-series... if you're about to buy one however, I might suggest looking at the 1660 Super line of cards, as they have basically the same performance at a slightly lower price point (about $50 less). For reference, I took pictures of my build with the GeForce GTX 1660Ti installed... Intel i7 4790 (Haswell) MSI H87M-G43 Motherboard w/16GB DDR3 Fractal Design Focus G Mini MATX case *2021, March update... well, I originally bought this card brand new on launch week some 2 years ago for $280... still going strong in my system... but sheesh... due to COVID, Scalpers and Miners, this same card in 2021 now costs $799?!?!? I'd sell my old card for massive profit, but then i'd have no video card! After two years of great service, I was considering a 30-series GeForce card (i've updated my MB/CPU to a 10th Gen i7-10700F), but it's either out of stock or crazy overpriced as of this posting, so i'll stick with my 1660Ti... still a solid card in 2021... glad I had a good card for a decent price before the craziness of 2021 hit.
Review: Carried my beginner PC master race journey - Got this card in 2020 and have only just BARELY found a reason to upgrade to a higher end card. Runs absolutely beautifully and super quiet. My reason for upgrading has almost nothing to do with the quality I was able to get out of the card but simply due to better options becoming more available. Carried my PC journey throughout the last 5 years and still going strong. Worth the price I paid, which I have forgotten its been so long, and I have had no regrets. A decent card with decent capabilities allowing smooth casual gameplay for smooth and casual gamers. 9/10 overall

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First time installer!
*by V***N on July 20, 2019*

So, Carefully I took my time standing on a piece of metal and touching the metal parts to keep from esd and unplugged and disconnected the wires, also uninstall the old graphics card drives before I took my old gpu out. So after all that I installed the new one carefully taking my time after seeing how others did it online on youtube and was able to do this myself pretty easily. After I installed it and install the drives from online that I had download from nivida website beforehand, I installed them and that's it, it worked. Nothing more needed to be down. Just had to make sure i didn't accidentally unplug anything on the motherboard and make sure nothing was in the way of the fans. I keep my wires nice and tidy so its not one big mess, but other then that, I don't think I could of done this any better. Everything works, didn't get a bad gpu as far as I can tell and i'm pretty content with it. Thank you, I look forward to my next upgrade in the future... Although there was one strange annoyance I had with it and had discovered what it was online, something about a c-port drive that couldn't be updated because I think I was suppose to install some sort of virtual drives for a vr head set even though I don't own or use one. Anyways I found out what it was on reddit and was mention that it was okay to disable it since it wouldn't do any harm, so I did and haven't had any troubles since. So Just a heads up if your buying this or a higher end graphics card. Also I held down the power button for 60 sec's when making sure there was no more electricity after I had unplugged everything(to avoid esd).
