A Closer Look
First off, the triple-fan WINDFORCE 3X cooler is impressive to behold. The cooler is made of extremely sturdy material. Additionally, the card features a backplate installed. The backplate provides full coverage of the PCB and it looks great. This is a dual-slot cooler by the way so there will be no worries when it comes to the installation of other expansion cards. These fans operate alternatively to each other, which is a huge advancement in cooling technologies!
The WINDFORCE 3X design is well thought out and the ventilation helps to dissipate the heat accordingly. This graphics card supports up to a four-monitor setup and no digital connection is left out of the mix! The GIGABYTE GTX 1660 Super Gaming OC 6GB graphics card requires external power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector.
There are plenty of fins in the heatsink design which help to dissipate the heat and allow it to escape from the graphics card. This card undoubtedly has GIGABYTE’s signature style all over! The attention to detail is amazing as is normally the case with any GIGABYTE product. There are many angles and lines in the design which make the card look light years better than a reference card.
The GIGABYTE GTX 2080 Super Gaming OC 6G graphics card most certainly looks the part! However, we shall see if the device’s performance can match the swagger.
