Review: Scan 3XS Gamer 1660 Ti

Conclusion

The temptation to adopt the latest and greatest in PC hardware can be tough to resist, but if you're inclined to save a few pounds in the face of spiralling component costs, there is still value to be found in the mid-range segment.

Appreciating there's more to PC gaming than eye-catching rigs that cost a small fortune, the Scan 3XS Gamer 1660 Ti targets the savvy shopper seeking up-to-date tech at an agreeable fee.

For £970, this tidy base unit delivers a six-core processor, liquid-cooling, fast DDR4 memory, solid-state storage and a graphics card that's well-suited to either 1080p or 1440p gaming. It might not be the flashiest PC you've ever seen, but it's fast, well-put together, and an eminently likeable upgrade for those making do with older hardware that's starting to feel the strain.

Bottom line: both the 3XS Gamer 1660 Ti base unit and a quality QHD FreeSync display can be yours for less than the cost of a single RTX 2080 Ti. What's not to like?
