Golden mean
When NVIDIA introduced a new line of graphics cards based on the Turing architecture with support for real-time ray tracing (you could see them in Battlefield V and Metro Exodus), it incurred the wrath of part of the gaming community. It turned out that many players do not really need this technology, instead they want to get the most performance for their money. Having listened to potential buyers, the company released a junior line, where one of the most interesting options was the GTX 1660 graphics card.
Enhanced Reliability
Compared to the reference model, the GTX 1660 TUF looks more like a story about reliability than record-breaking power. As with other Asus TUF products, here we have a list of small tweaks and improvements like a 2-slot double ball bearing cooler, a back stiffening plate, or a full-fledged stability test (Asus says 144 hours for each graphics card) .
Factory overclocked core up to 1845 MHz
But in terms of performance, Asus did not limit itself to the basic settings. For example, instead of the standard core boost up to 1785 MHz, the GTX 1660 TUF works out of the box with a slight factory overclock to 1845 MHz. It is also worth noting the presence of a DVI-D video output, which many manufacturers of new generation video cards refuse. In terms of video memory, we have a reference 6 GB GDDR5, which is still enough to play at high settings and Full HD in any game hits like Rage 2 or Mortal Kombat 11.
Against the backdrop of all this, the main drawback of Asus' solution is the price. Due to the increased reliability that the company boasts of, the card is more expensive than other 1060-based options, which is why it has to play in the field of its older brother GTX 1660 Ti.
