I'm really happy with this GPU, it's great.
The good:
I have not overclocked beyond the factory overclock and Userbenchmark has mine in the 93rd percentile for 1660 Supers. Since this is the 3 fan model temps are great: idle 38-43c, gaming 58-63c in my high airflow case. It's whisper quiet using the stock fan curve. With the fans stopped under 50c that means they aren't even running unless I'm gaming. And when I am the temps stay low enough that the fans never get up to an audible RPM.
It easily maintains 60+ FPS with max settings at 1080p in every gamy I've played, and most of the time much higher FPS than that. This card is also in a sweet spot when comparing price/performance. 1660 Ti's typically run only 3-5% faster yet cost 15-20% more.
The not so good:
There are only 2 negatives I can think of, and neither were enough for me to deduct a star:
1) The RGB Gigabyte logo is pretty dim. During the day it's actually kind of hard to tell that it's on, even with the brightness maxed. Not a big deal to me, but may be to you if you're going for a flashy RGB build.
2) The GPU noticeably sags and I've only had it about a week. Also not a big deal since you can find on the internet tests showing it doesn't impact performance and causes no harm to the PCB since they are designed to be flexible. Still, GPU supports exist if it's a big deal to you.
I didn't want to spend too much on a video card with the RTX 3000 series coming out later this year. I figured I would temporarily use this and hand it down to my nephew when the new series came out. But honestly this card has all the power you need for 1080p gaming.
