It is important to remember that the Scan 3XS Gamer 1660 Ti is the most affordable system in our line-up, and by some distance. Getting off the bottom of the charts at all is an achievement, and the stock-clocked Ryzen 5 2600 processor manages to do just that in the multi-threaded benchmarks.

Performance is similar to a Core i7-8700K in Cinebench, and though Ryzen's single-thread deficiencies are highlighted in PiFast, do you notice the gap during everyday use? Probably not - the system feels fast irrespective of workload, and if Scan had put an 'Intel Inside' logo on the box, most users would be none the wiser.
