Hi, I'm look to upgrade my GPU and have decided on a 1660 Super but now I'm having to sort through all the different variations from different manufactures. I'm leading towards the EVGA GTX 1660 Super 6 GB SC ULTRA GAMING mostly because it fits my builds aesthetic. Is there a big increase in performance from getting an OC version or a better version of this card than one I've selected? I have been trying to figure it out on my own but I could use some help :) (Canadian btw)

They'll all perform marginally the same. Only real difference is temperature.

 

The price you pay is moreso for that cooler difference and service quality. Like EVGA has really great customer service, and someone like MSI has fair customer service

when your looking at more of the budget cards, the difference become pretty minisulce besides looks.  Speed is going to be pretty much the same across the board.  Cooling capabilites will vary but again the 1660 aint that power hungry of a card.  My personal thing when it come to gpu's are go with a reputability brand like evga in your case and then compare the differences between the varients that specific vendor has

In addition to this, some gpu comes with higher clocks, different form factors and basically the aesthetics.
