More suitable for gaming
Very good GPU, but you have to change it to be able to run games. Unfortunately, games require more resources, so you have to change it after 2 years.
The MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER VENTUS XS OC is an affordable gaming graphics card based on the NVIDIA Turing GPU architecture. It's an upgraded version of the GTX 1660 (with more stream processors, higher frequencies and higher memory bandwidth) and is based on the TU116 graphics chip, GDDR6 VRAM, a 192-bit memory interface and 1408 CUDA cores. It's more powerful than its predecessor, and its ambition is simply to let you play your favourite PC games in high resolution and detail.
The all-new Ventus series of graphics cards brings a breath of fresh air to the MSI graphics card ranges. With their design, they will fit perfectly into any configuration and their features will allow them to deliver high graphics performance. Compared to the standard fan design, the Ventus graphics card fans have a higher number of blades to improve heat dissipation as they generate more air pressure.
The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER graphics card puts the revolutionary graphics performance of the NVIDIA Turing architecture at your disposal. It delivers blazing-fast graphics performance in today's top games, including the latest ones. The GTX 16 series graphics cards take advantage of the Turing architecture via the 12nm TU116 GPU. Designed for gamers who want top-notch graphics performance without breaking the bank, the world-renowned Geforce GTX series is back! This new iteration, aptly namedthe "16 Series", is here to delight gamers.

Very good GPU, but you have to change it to be able to run games. Unfortunately, games require more resources, so you have to change it after 2 years.
I'm happy with my purchase.
It supports 3 screens, that's why I bought it.
A 4th screen can be added.
For me 3 screens is enough.
It's easy to install, my computer detects it without any problems.
No lag or anything since I got it.
I don't especially hear the fans on this graphics card.
I don't play big games, but I do use the adobe suite which is resource intensive.
Excellent value for money
I recommend this graphics card for all office users and even for gamers who do not have high demands.
It's been almost a year since I was content with the Intel Graphics of my i910900k processor. It's true that it's good, but in terms of games it's either not possible or it's buggy. FiFa 21 was running pretty well though. Of course, as you can see, why wait all this time before buying a graphics card? Answer: I'm not rich... So my first choice was an RTX 3060 Ti, but considering the prices, which have dropped quite a bit, and my equipment, my choice finally came down to this MSI GTX 1660 SUPER.
In a Fractal Design R5 tower, you can't hear anything.
And all the bugs I had disappeared.
By turning everything up to full speed.
That's it.
A nice note: delivered 1.5 days later by Chronopost, all clean :-)
Hello, I was looking for a CG to replace an old card (MSI GTX 770 Twin Frozr from 2014).
So I took the same brand and I took again taste in the greedy games, more compromise between speed and quality of graphics. Everything at full speed and it passes almost for all the games in an almost complete silence (I only hear the fans of my case, I did not have the impression to hear the fans of this CG. I'm taking off one star for the price of the shortage but I'm already glad I got one!
The best of the pre-RTX generation.
So no raytracing here but 6GB GDDR6 and a Turing chip.
Basically I'm running last year's games in WQHD detail at full speed.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to get a star for the price, but it's the times they are in, so I'll have to give it a star.
I have a compo with an i5-4690K 4 core and with this card it runs any game in student for the most greedy or in ultra (cod warzone). I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a good ventilation in your PC because it can heat up quickly (ex: warzone: 55-60º, raft: 68°, cyberpunk 2077: 60-65°).
With this period of scarcity, CG is still quite expensive.
Having a GeForce gtx 970, I needed a little more speed, a little more graphics processing, so the MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Super was a perfect fit.
Very satisfied especially for Flight Simulator 2020, the only application I use.
Regarding LDLC, very good reception, staff available to listen to you, competent, installed the graphics card, highly recommended.
Apart from the fact that it has increased by 100€ due to the 2020/2021 shortage (decision of the manufacturers not attributable to LDLC) the card is very decent.
I find it unfortunate however that it goes up to over 60 degrees (almost 70) in a well ventilated case (example: black desert online) without being at 100% of its power either.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good deal on this one, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a good deal on this one, too.
