The front side of the card sports the Gigabyte logo, and this is the single RGB zone on the card which you can control using the RGB Fusion 2.0 software. That's quite long for a 1660 Ti, though it is still ‘only' a dual-slot thickness.
The move to a triple-fan cooling setup does mean the Gaming OC 6G is a bit larger than the other two GTX 1660 Tis we have reviewed so far – it measures 280 x 116.7 x 40.4 mm. These fans still feature Gigabyte's ‘alternate spinning' technology, too, meaning the central fan spins in reverse (clockwise) relative to the two outer fans, which Gigabyte says helps reduce turbulence and increase air pressure. Each fan measures 80mm, so they are smaller than the two 90mm fans on the OC 6G, but that has enabled Gigabyte to fit one more onto the cooler. I still don't think it is a very exciting design, but at the same time it is quite inoffensive and also very colour neutral, so it would not cause any issues in a colour coordinated build.Īs for the fans, there are obviously three of them – hence the ‘Windforce X3' name. That's because both use matte black plastic shrouds, with just hints of grey on the front of each shroud as well. If we move on to look at the card itself, you can immediately see the design similarities between both the Gigabyte GTX 1660 Ti models we have reviewed.

Three key features of the card – the RGB lighting, Windforce cooler and overclocked core – are illustrated in the bottom left corner.Īs for included accessories, inside the box we find one quick start guide, and then one driver disk. The Gigabyte GTX 1660 Ti Gaming OC 6G ships in a near-identical box to the regular OC 6G, with Gigabyte's large robotic eye logo dominating the front. That means it uses the TU116 GPU with 24 SMs and 1536 CUDA cores, while the 6GB GDDR6 memory is clocked at the default 12Gbps. Other than that, the spec of this card is unchanged. How much performance difference there will between the two cards, however, is something we will look at throughout this review. The MSI Gaming X card we looked at for launch day was clocked at 1875MHz, and the Gaming OC is just slightly slower at 1860MHz – making it still 90MHz faster than reference spec. Reference spec for GTX 1660 Ti has the boost clock at 1770MHz. The new Gaming model – the subject of this review – essentially extends the cooler to a triple-fan configuration, while it also increases the boost clock to 1860MHz. They both share the same overall design language, with the same style of shroud and backplate. There are a lot of similarities between this Gigabyte GTX 1660 Ti Gaming OC 6G and the previously reviewed 1660 Ti OC 6G. Watch via our Vimeo channel (below) or over on YouTube at 2160p HERE It comes with a £40 price premium over GTX 1660 Ti MSRP, however, so we will have to see whether or not Gigabyte has created a card that can justify the higher price. Not to be confused with Gigabyte's 1660 Ti OC 6G, this ‘Gaming' card has an increased boost clock, a triple-fan cooler and the addition of RGB lighting. For our third GTX 1660 Ti review, we assess the Gigabyte GTX 1660 Ti Gaming OC 6G.
