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 is a short-depth design, but it is a little on the tall side with a portion of the heatsink and shroud sticking up above the expansion slot bracket. That means it may not fit in some small form factor cases. For cooling it has a single-fan, open-air setup - which is great for keeping a single card 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 little or 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, this GTX 1660 Ti supports up to four monitors. Three DisplayPort 1.4 connections are available, along with a single HDMI 2.0b port.
