What we like about ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1660 Amp

  • Solid 1080p performance, capable of maintaining over 60 FPS in most modern titles even on high settings
  • Extremely compact design making it ideal for small form factor (SFF) builds
  • Efficient IceStorm 2.0 cooling system that maintains low operating temperatures around 65-67°C
  • Quiet operation even under heavy gaming loads
  • Includes a factory overclock (1845 MHz) for better out-of-the-box performance than standard editions
  • Features a full-coverage wraparound metal backplate for added durability and heat dissipation
  • Low power consumption (120W TDP), requiring only a modest 450W power supply

What we don't like about ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1660 Amp

  • Priced significantly higher than other GTX 1660 variants, often making the 1660 Super a better value proposition
  • Lacks modern features like dedicated hardware for Ray Tracing and DLSS (standard for the GTX 16 series)
  • Short 2-year warranty period compared to the 3 years typically offered by competitors
  • No idle-fan-stop feature, meaning fans run continuously even when the card is cool
  • Absence of RGB lighting or customizable LEDs which may disappoint some aesthetic-focused users

Verdict

The Zotac Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 AMP is a factory-overclocked mid-range graphics card built on NVIDIA's 12nm Turing architecture, featuring 1,408 CUDA cores and a boosted core clock of 1,845 MHz. Equipped with 6GB of GDDR5 memory on a 192-bit bus, it delivers a bandwidth of 192.1 GB/s and includes premium physical features like the IceStorm 2.0 dual-fan cooling system and a wraparound metal backplate. Its primary strengths lie in its super-compact form factor, making it ideal for small form factor (SFF) builds, and its solid 1080p gaming performance which maintains high frame rates in modern titles. However, notable drawbacks include its higher price point compared to standard GTX 1660 models and its lack of an 'idle fan stop' feature, meaning the fans run continuously even at low loads.
