Awful price.

 

 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

As everyone else said, horrid price. Return it, try and snag a 3060 Ti, massively faster card.

Yes-ish. The card itself is fine at 1080p or 1440p if you drop some settings, but it is not good for that price.

I have a gtx 1660ti and a gtx 1650 super can i connect them both with no sli

No. There's tools to try and force that but in most games you will drop performance, not gain it.

mine with more profit or that wont work ?

Don't need the cards linked for that. And if you make sure you get a normal 3060 Ti (Not an LHR version, they have some firmware stuff to make them bad at mining) it will be a massive chunk faster than the 1660 Ti at mining. Probably a better balance of power vs hash rate too. Nicehash's estimation tool with the default settings puts it at almost double the $/day vs the 1660 Ti.
