Is galax a good company?

Hello guys,

So I am planning to buy GALAX GTX 1660 super .Is it a good company also i've heard that this card overheat very fast is that true?

Any specific card can be good or bad, regardless of a manuf.  Asus, EVGA and other companies have had terrible designs.

 

Galax is a fine company.  Is this specific design good?  No clue, that'd take research.

They're a decent company. I had their Hall of Fame GTX 970 and they performed great. They are also known as KFA2.

They're pretty cheap-o'ish, just misleading some people because they also do "high end" water cooled versions, a marketing gag basically. Doesnt mean their general offerings arent bottom of the barrel stuff.

Kinda on the same level as Zotac imo.

Galax is a "respectable" brand. You are unlikely to find many informed impressions of particular Galax cards because they don't sell in North America and most of the major PC hardware reviewers are in the US or Canada. 

 

If you can get the 1660 Super you're looking at for a decent price in this day and age, go for it.
