Based on the award-winning NVIDIA Turing architecture, GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 GAMING OC graphics cards hit the sweet spot and offer mainstream gamers an affordable way to experience AAA titles in their full glory. The exclusive WINDFORCE 3X Cooling System ensures the best cooling efficiency so the GPU can run at full load without throttling. Built-in RGB illumination delivers customizable lighting effects while a metal backplate provides enhanced protection. The Ultra Durable VGA components mean the card delivers superb durability and overclocking capability. Performance tweaking is also easy with the intuitive AORUS Engine utility.
WINDFORCE 3X COOLING SYSTEM
The WINDFORCE 3X cooling system features three 80mm unique blade fans, an alternate spinning fan, four composite copper heat pipes, heat-pipe direct touch and 3D active fan functionality. All together, these technologies deliver and support an effective heat dissipation capacity for higher performance at lower temperatures.
ALTERNATE SPINNING
The GIGABYTE-patented āAlternate Spinningā is the only solution for properly handling the turbulent airflow of three fans. The biggest problem with utilizing three fans is turbulence. Since the fans rotate in the same direction, the airflow direction moves oppositely between the fans. This causes turbulent airflow and reduces heat-dissipation efficiency. GIGABYTE turns the middle fan in the opposite direction so that the airflow direction between the two fans becomes the same, reducing turbulence and enhancing airflow pressure.
UNIQUE BLADE FAN
This card's airflow is split by triangulated fan edges that guide everything smoothly through the 3D-stripe curves on each fan's surface, effectively enhancing overall airflow.
3D ACTIVE FAN
The 3D Active Fan provides semi-passive cooling so the other fans will remain off when the GPU is in a low load or low-power game. It allows gamers to enjoy gameplay in complete silence when the system is running light or idle. The LED fan indicator on the top of the graphics card provides an instant display of the fan status.
HEAT PIPES DIRECT TOUCH GPU
The shape of each pure-copper heat pipe maximizes the direct contact area with the GPU, ultimately enhancing heat transfer. Each heat pipe also covers the VRAM through a large metal plate contact to ensure proper cooling.
COMPOSITE HEAT-PIPES
The composite heat-pipes combine thermal conductivity and phase transition to efficiently manage the heat transfer between two solid interfaces, increasing cooling capacity.

RGB FUSION 2.0
With 16.7M customizable color options and numerous lighting options, you can choose unique lighting effects or synchronize with other AORUS devices.
BUILT STRONG
Extreme durability and overclocking
This graphics card uses an 6+2 power-phase design to allow the MOSFET to operate at lower temperatures. The over-temperature protection design and load balancing for each MOSFET, plus the Ultra Durable certified chokes and capacitors provide excellent performance and longer system life. (Reference card is 3+1 power phase).
Protective Metal Backplate
The metal backplate provides a refined aesthetical shape and also enhances the structure of the graphics card to provide complete protection.
IN TOTAL COMMAND
The interface and functionality of the software are subject to each model but provide more settings options than you'll know what to do with.
AORUS Engine
The cutting-edge intuitive interface allows you to adjust the clock speed, voltage, fan performance and power target in real-time according to your gameās requirements.
