If you are really strapped for money this card can get you further than you might expect for the price. you know why) I would say it is worth it. If you can afford a bit more for a 2060 (don't buy one now though. like I said, go in with reasonable expectations and you won't be disappointed. Can't really knock a star off for any of this. Now the card is silent when idle or low loads, and the noise is acceptable when gaming. The fans are also a tad noisy in standard mode when they are running all the time, and I found them to be intolerable so I removed the shroud and fans, added a pair of 80mm Noctua Redux fans with some cable ties and wired them to my Commander Pro using the temperature sensor of the 1660 as the control input. it sounds like a car engine being revved. When set to the "Zero RPM" mode in the Gigabyte utility the fans seem to rev quickly from zero, turn off, rev again, turn off again repeating forever until I turned the ZeroRPM off. This could be unique to my card but the fans.

(Frametime > Details any day of the week) It would be a perfect card for E-Sports gaming, and non-AAA titles unless you are happy to drop settings to keep your frametime fast. it is not impressive that a low-end card can run them.ĭespite my results, I would say that this is only a card for 1080p and for low to moderate detail settings.

However, it must be noted that these decade(s) old games which were made for consoles. I have used it to play Halo MCC on 34" 1440p ultrawide and enjoyed 130+ FPS in the non-remastered games and 60-80FPS in the remastered ones. Reasonably good card for gaming, as long as your expectations from it are reasonable.
