yep that's right NVIDIA has gone and done it son they have brought an entry-level card to market now there's not going to be any particular founders edition of the GTX 1660 card only all the board partners will be making them but there will be cards as low as $219 on launch and I'm sure with some sales you'll be able to find these cards right around the $200 mark which brings them to a very entry-level position I know people out there gonna scream that's not entry-level come on two hundred bucks two hundred and twenty bucks 30 bucks even I really think up to 250 bucks is pretty much kind of an entry-level card you know three to four mid-level a little bit higher I mean let's just face it the very top of the line cards are really expensive on the nvidia side of thing $1200 on AMD side $700 and things for the high-end card so those numbers are there now for you guys who happen to miss the unboxing we did an unboxing it took you know a nice close look up of everything about this car so if you guys happen to miss that we'll have a link down below today's video is a battle between this particular card and the RX 590 now the RX 590 is currently priced at 249 dollars pretty much a general price now you might be able to find one that is very similar um in price you might be able to find one for 230 this particular car it's $229 so we decided this would be a really good head-to-head battle and I think you guys will be really surprised now because for once you're gonna see a car that's actually cheaper than AMD and in some cases doing a little bit better most the time though it's pretty much a really close battle let's jump in real quick let's check out our test system then let's rock out to the new benchmark song and talk a little bit well I think this car is gonna be a serious winner in today's video and gaming market let's go we upgraded our system at the first of the year and I know some people think it's kind of strange that I say that the i7 8700 K is a CPU that a lot of people use but it really is a lot of people use that CPU so we've stuck with that CPU for our testing we didn't move into the i9 arena and we weren't gonna really use an i5 either and we've got a beautiful brand-new test station you guys can see this thing just looks awesome it's very easy to work on we've got a really nice board from a Zeus we've got 32 gigabytes of ddr4 memory we've got a really nice SSD as the boot riot and we've got a ste gate Barracuda 2 terabyte drive that we're keeping all of our games on so all in all this is a very nice system we're actually using a liquid cooler I'm keeping everything running nice and cool I believe it is one for the people a bit Corsair so all in all this is a pretty nice test system on the Nvidia side of things we're using driver for nineteen point 35 this is their latest beta driver and on the AMD side of things we're using driver 19.2 and we're also using Windows 10 it has been updated to its latest version in fact all the drivers and everything on the system has been updated to its latest and most current driver as possible at the time of this testing real quick though Before we jump in and check out those benchmarks let's take a close-up look of the card and what all its specs are specs wise the gtx 1660 features a tu1 1:6 touring GPU 12 nanometer FFM manufacturing process 1408 cuda cores six gigabytes of gddr5 memory 192 bit memory bus it's got a memory bandwidth of 100 92.1 gigabytes a second now the base clock on this particular card is 1530 megahertz has a boost clock of 1785 megahertz there a v8 texture units 22 streaming multi processors and 40 rock units alright so there you have it all of the specs and everything you really need to know about the brand new EVGA XE gtx 1660 what that said though let's rock out to the benchmark song and a head-to-head battle against the RX 590 from the folks over at XFX the Fatboy all right I love that song now this card only got is hot as 71 Celsius under maximum load that's pretty doggone good especially for a card that has such a low power requirement I mean pretty much you'll need 120 watts to power this card with a 400 really maximum for your power supply recommendation you can build a really low end system and stick this video card inside of it now the only caveat the card I would think really though is honestly like I said before is this card is really really thick I mean it is a big thick thick thick card but beyond that it's really cool for building little small systems and the numbers are good now you guys can see that the XFX Fatboy rx 590 this card performed pretty much head-to-head across the board there was only three games with this card actually beat that card so that's really cool for a car that's coming into market at two hundred and twenty nine dollars think it's a great thing this is definitely an editor's choice product it's an entry-level product that's affordable it's small it has great numbers and if you're just somebody out there just looking for a great 1088 card you don't have some exclusive 4k monitor or something that has such you know grand designs that it needs a great big powerful card this may just fit your budget and your needs so I'm Miller you guys been watching tech damar like usual we will have a link down below where you guys can check out more information or purchase
