$249 USGALAX GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER EX OC Package
The GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER EX OC graphics card comes within a standard cardboard-based package. The front of both packages has a large “GeForce GTX” brand logo along with the “GALAX” logo on the top left corner. GALAX has been using the Gamer-Esque marketing on their graphics cards for a while now which is a different touch than what other brands are doing.
The packaging has put a large emphasis on the Turing Shaders, followed by GDDR6, DirectX 12 and Ansel support.
The back of the box is very typical, highlighting the main features and specifications of the cards. There’s also a focus towards GeForce.com on each AIB card through which users can download the latest drivers and GeForce Experience application which are a must for gamers to access all feature sets of the new cards.
The card is nicely wrapped within an anti-static cover which is useful to prevent any unwanted static discharges on various surfaces that might harm the graphics card. The card accessories include a Molex power connector which isn’t of much use in high-end systems since the PSUs already have the required cables.
Out of the package, the GALAX GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER EX OC might feel like a simple dual-slot styled graphics card. It comes in a very compact design which is standard for graphics cards of this range.
