Priced at the MSRP of $220, Colorful's iGame GTX 1660 Ultra gives you a lot of graphics card for the money. It comes with a large dual-slot, triple-fan cooler with excellent temperatures and features a backplate and dual BIOS. An out of the box overclock to 1860 MHz Boost is included, too, which is higher than on most other GTX 1660 graphics cards.

Well Hitman 2 added DX12 in last patch so it's supports it now... But yeah too many short comings on this particular 1660, price is good but other than that there's better options.
 
Don't think ive seen a PCB this comically long just for the cooling to fit.
But uhh... i guess its nice to know how hardware that you cannot get looks like and works like

Yep, looks just stupid since the card could be a lot shorter.

Mostly empty too, they could make a small pcb and a pass through cooler like Fury Nitro.
 
That PCB and cooler are massive overkill. Still nice little (big) card. Healthy 14% OC giving higher tier cards a headache, and once again it's efficiency embarasses the competition.

-1 from the dickhead, bonus!

I didn't realize these things are a tad faster than a 590 for like $70 less. That's got to sting.

That's not a surprise that new technology beats something which is almost 3 years old. RX 590 is just an overclocked RX 480.

The surprise is older tech is still being sold at such a premium.

Exactly, rebranded rebrand has the premium, but older rebrands (570/580) are now with ok prices.

Even that is debatable. This review pegs the 580 at $170, but the ones you can get from newegg start at $190. At $190 we're talking about 10% cheaper than 1660 and almost 20% slower. But yeah, at the end of the day the 580 makes a lot more sense than the 590.
 
The best bargain still available is the Vega 56 which can still be had from £249

Nothing else can touch it at this price point
