About this item

The Nvidia Chipset GTX1660 Super is the power horse of reliable Gaming rigs across the Globe. And seeing our primary function is maintenance of enterprise servers and other desktop computing equipment I am often asked which Gaming graphics card should I buy. The manufacturer Palit microsystems is well known in enterprise architecture and the Nvidia chipset is very popular in the custom Gaming consumer space.  You can expect the best performance for your buck with this model.

The other interesting fact that most gamers are unaware of is the manufacturer Palit Microsystems is responsible for enterprise Graphic cards found in High End Media servers used by the likes of Disney and Pixar to produce animated movies. The result being there extremely robust and much sought after by Crypto miners. The other fun fact is Nvidia GTX 1660 can reach 21.42 MH/s hashrate and 74 W power consumption for mining ETH (Ethash) earning around $2.65 USD per day (at the time of writing). So when it comes to upgrading your card in 4 years or so, it is genuinely possible to sell the card at a cost for more than you bought it to miners (I know because i did just that on my R290). To sum up, having worked for 20 years in server/pc maintenance this graphics card would be the recommended choice at this price point.
