Key Features. Built with the breakthrough graphics performance of the award-winning NVIDIA Turing architecture Broadcast your gameplay with the GTX 1660 Ti's dedicated hardware encoder that is optimized for Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) Space-grade lubricant brings the durability of dual ball bearings to quieter sleeve bearing designs Direct CU II copper heatpipes make direct contact with the die for better cooling Auto-Extreme Technology uses automation to enhance reliability 144-hour validation program puts cards through a series of stringent tests to ensure compatibility with the latest games The ASUS TUF Gaming Ge Force GTX 1660 Ti EVO stacks durability compatibility & performance to bring reliable 3D horsepower to the TUF Gaming ecosystem. St&-out features include Auto-Extreme Technology TUF compatibility testing & two fans with space-grade lubricant & IP5X dust resistance. IP5X dust resistance Dust is enemy number one for fans. It's easy to clean the blades but taking the fan apart to remove dust that has made its way inside is not a simple task. Passing the IP5X certification means the housing is safe from nasty particulates so you'll never need that deep clean. Space-grade lubricant Infused with a durable lubricant often found in aerospace applications these sleeve bearings deliver a quieter acoustic profile than dual ball bearing designs & match their durability. Auto-Extreme Technology Auto-Extreme Technology is an automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass. This reduces thermal strain on components & avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals resulting in less environmental impact lower manufacturing power consumption & a more reliable product overall. Protective backplate The PCB is reinforced by a backplate that adds structural rigidity helping to prevent PCB flex & protect components & trace pathways from damage. Compact design The TUF Gaming Ge Force GTX 1660 Ti EVO packs potent rendering power into a compact frame that maximizes compatibility with the latest chassis. Stainless steel bracket The mounting bracket of the TUF Gaming Ge Force GTX 1660 Ti EVO has been beefed up with 304 stainless steel that is harder & more resistant to corrosion..
