NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB is a mid-range GPU, replacing the older GTX 1060. While it is based on Turing technology, the older naming and numbering scheme is still used because this card is missing some of the more advanced features that are found on the RTX 2000-series. That means no hardware ray tracing (RT cores) or machine learning inference (Tensor cores) - but for more traditional applications which don't use those capabilities the GTX 1660 Ti is a strong contender.
This particular model from Gigabyte has a dual-fan cooling system, which is great for keeping a single card running cool and quiet... but results in most of the heat the card generates being pumped back into the computer. That makes this a poor choice for use in multi-GPU systems, especially in configurations where there will be no space between each card. In that situation, a video card with a blower-style fan and rear heat exhaust will be much better.
Finally, in regards to connectivity, the GTX 1660 Ti supports up to four monitors. One HDMI 2.0b output is available along with three DisplayPort 1.4, but none of the older DVI or VGA ports are present.
