Could I get this one?

If not I'll just try an XC gaming.

both are great cards imo, just do whatever you want with it, temps won't be wildly different

This one is mostly for @Jurrunio since you mention buying 1660 over 1660ti, which I do agree with.

 

Which gtx 1660 cards have sufficient cooling to OC to the point of have 1660ti performance? 1440p gaming at 60fps in mind on AAA titles.

I'd just get the cheapest card that's not a short single fan 2 slot card (like the Gigabyte mITX OC, but EVGA XC isn't one of them as it is 3 slot). Memory overclocking dont need extra cooling.

 

But 1440p will definitely be pushing it for 16 series in general, heck even the 2060 can't do 1440p 60fps high settings sustained, it will dip lower from time to time.

I don't know if I can fit 3 slot cards on my mATX board.

https://www.techspot.com/review/1799-geforce-gtx-1660-mega-benchmark/

The 1660ti has similar performance to the 1070. I'm ok with some dipping as long as the average is high enough.

nah I'd rather not follow that. Coolers with the same name on different generation of cards can perform differently from one another. It's more like product tier list.

mATX board can hold 3 slot cards as long as the other PCIe slots arent in use.

that's why i only covered current generations and noted when it's different enough

 

i would love if you took a look into it and tell me if i made any mistakes

there are horrible duals and tripple fans, great single fans and you forgot a lot of other sorts of cards

 

it really isn't that simple

I know it's not that simple, but there are high end cards that slap a single fan that just compromise heat for size when they really should have just used a lower end card cause of how much performance suffered

was that on the whole amp? i thought that only was for amp, and not amp extreme...

GN's video on the whole thing was on the Amp Extreme. Looking at disassembly articles on the Amp shows the same problem on VRM not having contact to the big heatsink on top while sharing PCB with the Extreme

yeah... maybe both you and @Jurrunio should talk further in my project...

 

we see each other in the thread?
