GTX 1660 offers more performance for the mid-range

As anticipated, the graphics card is coming out on European territory between 225 and 230 euros (with taxes), offering an interesting price-performance value.

Nvidia claims it offers performance levels that are, on average, 68% higher than those of a GTX 970 and 113% higher than those of a GTX 960. Compared to the 'humble' GTX 1060, Nvidia claims that the GTX 1660 offers an average 15% performance increase over the 6GB model and 30% increase over the 3GB model at 1080p, all while maintaining a 120W TDP.
