For the price, I'm kind of skeptical that it will outperform a previous-generation GeForce 1060. Which can be purchased from $259 to $299 in various places.

I just got a 1060 that has 3 x displayport 1.4 outputs + 1 x HDMI 2.0 output, it can drive four 4K displays at 60 Hz.

The 1060 is probably somewhat more power hungry and hot under load.

I'm sorry, what is there to be skeptical of? There are plenty of reviews with hard data and measurements. This isn't one of those things where something stops being true just because you refuse to look.

Now, whether it's worth another 279 to upgrade from the 1060, well, probably not. It is very much worth considering if you have an older card than from the 1000 series. It performs on par with a 1070, gets within spitting distance of the Vega 56 in 1080p/1440p in a bunch of games, and it's the most power efficient card out there.

Yes, what I meant is that for a person who bought a 1060 two months ago, it's not worth spending the same $279 again to upgrade.

Oh definitely. The 1060 is plenty performant for modern games (except for pathological cases like Anthem) and somebody who owns one shouldn't be in any hurry to get the 1660. The 2060 is a better candidate for that, but pricey.

Which makes it particularly sad the Galax SNPR 1060 eGPU didn't see a wider release. I have one, it's great.

"Looking at the numbers, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti delivers around 37% more performance than the GTX 1060 6GB at 1440p, and a very similar 36% gain at 1080p"
