What reviewers say

Reviewers praised strong 1080p performance close to the GTX 1660 Ti and its launch value, while noting the absence of hardware RTX features. PC Gamer and TechRadar tested EVGA's SC Ultra; PCWorld tested PNY's Single Fan. Their cooling and noise findings apply to those boards rather than every GTX 1660 SUPER.
