Nvidia is primarily known as the leading manufacturer of consumer graphics cards. In addition to the GeForce line of GPUs, the company has developed the Nvidia Shield streaming media device as well as GeForce NOW game streaming service. Currently, the GeForce 40 Series is the latest generation of consumer gaming cards from Nvidia, although the first product, the flagship GeForce RTX 4090, was released only a month ago and is still short on shelves.
The MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 Super is a value choice for a gamer on a budget. While the GeForce 16 series seems old based on the name, it is actually a little misleading. In fact, the series was launched in 2019, nearly three years after the popular GTX 1080. GTX 1660 offers value gaming options for those that are not looking for a ray-tracing capable Nvidia RTX card. It is not far performance-wise from the RTX entry-level cards, like RTX 3050. This specific model uses the Super platform, which is nearly as powerful as the top-end Ti model but with much less money.
