Review: MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Ventus XS OC

Conclusion

The new slew of GeForce GPUs caters for the mainstream gamer looking to upgrade their older tech to cards capable of running the latest games at either FHD or QHD resolutions.

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti comes in at £260 and offers the latest Turing blueprint allied to speedy GDDR6 memory. The architecture is sound, bringing class-leading efficiency, variable-rate shading, and ray-tracing support via regular Cuda cores. It's also powerful enough to play most of today's GPU-heavy games at super-nice FHD framerates.

MSI leverages these technologies in a package dubbed Ventus, purposely designed to hit attractive price points. For that aforementioned £260 you get a fairly small card that's overclocked out of the box and solid, if not spectacular, on all fronts. We can see it being installed in many an SI-built PC due to its jack-of-all-trades characteristics.

For those choosing to upgrade to this card, some more care and attention could be directed towards the noise and MSI needs to ensure that all parts of the PCB are cooled properly. Other than that, it's a keenly-priced card worthy of consideration if your budget is about £250.
