Amazing Budget GPU

My GTX 1660 SUPER is great it runs boneworks at 90hz at medium settings. It runs any game I play at either medium to high settings. (Mostly High) And is also a great graphics card for anybody who is on a budget and trying to get a good performance gaming pc. If you one of those people this gpu will be perfect for you! :)

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super is a great budget GPU that will play most games at maximum graphics and at 60fps solid. Games like Minecraft (shaders), Destiny 2, Forza Horizon 4 and 5 (maybe not so hard on the graphics for Forza Horizon 5), and World of Tanks. It only takes up 125W so you don't need a solar farm like the RTX 3090 Ti, and unlike the 3090 Ti you get to keep both of your kidneys. I hope you found this usefull. I recommend it if your gaming on a budget.

Pros

• Low Profile
• Powerful
• Quiet
• Doesn't need a lot of energy
• 2 Monitor compatable
• 1440p compatable
• Always in stock

Cons

• No RGB (if you really want that)
• Doesn't even compare to brand new GPU's
