OcUK GTX1660TI review thread

[tamzzy]

Had the 1660Ti launched at £200-£240 instead of £260~£300+, people wouldn't criticise it as harshly as being a "1070 with 2GB less vram after nearly 3 years".

indeed. should've launched at sub-£240.

What was the cpu being used in that test and did watts used include the monitor.

7820x lol. but at least it's the worst case scenario, power consumption-wise.
not including monitor

A good match for this GPU would I5 8400

but anand's test bench is a 7820x. it is what it is.

Just out of interest why is the monitor power consumption important? Surely no review includes that as it's run from a separate power source?

You never no what a reviewer may have done and a monitor depending on size of panel could add from 25 to 75 watts to the total usage .
