Customers appreciate the XLR8 Gaming Single Fan NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER graphics card's strong performance and effective cooling capabilities, frequently citing its ease of installation and good value for the price. However, some customers note that the card can be noisy under load and that the price point may be high for some users. The single fan design is a point of both praise for its compact size and criticism for its potential noise.

I have an HP from 2016 and the card they provided (a 2GB GTX960) was a dog with Lightroom. This 1600 Super runs so much better, is quiet, is a short length (so it won't fill up my case), and uses the original 6 pin connector -plus- the 2-pin. Installation was fairly straightforward and the proper software was automatically downloaded/installed by Windows. It's half the price of a high-end card and is spec'd at the same power requirement as the older card it's replacing. This card checks all the boxes - price, speed, power req's, and it's quiet. I'll also note that, though its says it may be overclocked, I'm leaving it at its stock speed.

Great value card! Compare to Asus 1660s I find this card is better built, compact, with one big fan is more thermally efficient lower temperatures (see picture with two cards efficiency below). Gives stable 31.8 MH/s at ETH.

I put this card into a gaming system, and I'm running benchmarks in Direct-X 9, 10, 11, 12 at around 90% Worldwide using Passmark benching software. I am using EVGA's OC software with no problems at all. Low temps accelerated high-end graphics @ 3840 X 2160, Antialiasing X 4, Anisotropic X 16. Excellent card!
