INTRODUCING THE GTX 1660, the MSI GTX 1660 Ventus XS OC are great graphics cards for those who are looking to get the best price to performance ratio in 1080p gaming with the graphical settings cranked up, The GTX 1660 ships with 1408 CUDA and 6GB of GDDR5 memory, the memory speed is 8 Gbps data rate. The base clock speed of the MSI GTX 1660 Ventus XS OC is 1530 MHz and boosting at around 1830 MHz which boosted high then reference card (1785MHz), This card is priced at about RM950 to RM1000, depends on where you buy and the location. lets look at the specs :

The DESIGN, the reason why i choose this GPU is because the design and its cooling features, the MSI GTX 1660 Ventus XS OC is a small GPU with a length of roughly 8 inches (20cm), using two of the award-winning TORX Fans 2.0 with Dispersion Fan Blade, the dispersion fan blade has a steeper curved blade compared to traditional fan blade, which accelerates the airflow, increasing its effectiveness and very low noise operation. And also a sturdy backplate which helps to strengthen the graphics card and complements the design to look even better.

PERFORMANCE, getting more performance at a lower price is great, the GTX 1660 will be faster than the old gen GTX 1060, it has some architectural enhancements, higher clockspeeds, and more shader cores.
Here is some benchmark video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvdNrfyCQ-g
As you can see, for a RM9xx GPU these are excellent performance, at 1080p high or ultra setting it can deliver up to 80fps or even more, it did deliver beyond my expectations.
With the GeForce GTX 1660, NVIDIA is clearly attacking AMD's Radeon RX 590 offering, the MSI GTX 1660 Ventus XS OC beat AMD's Radeon RX 590 by a solid 9% margin, with 20% higher performance than the GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB at midrange price, the GTX 1660 is in a position to conclusively replace the GTX 1060 6 GB. MSI gave their card a mild overclock out of the box, to 1830 MHz rated boost.
Conclusion, the MSI GTX 1660 Ventus XS OC comes with a great price, making it one of the most affordable and feature complete GTX 1660 so far. Unlike most of the competition, these MSI GPU get you a factory overclock and a backplate, low noise level and low temperature, the MSI GTX 1660 Ventus XS OC should definitely be on your list.
