NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1660 6GB is a mid-range GPU, a small step down from the GTX 1160 Ti. 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 is a fine option.

This particular model from Asus is a short-depth design, with a single-fan open-air cooling system. That is great for fitting in smaller cases and keeping a single card cool, 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 supports up to three monitors. One of each of the modern video port standards are provided: DVI-D, HDMI 2.0b, and DisplayPort 1.4.
