May 8 Velocity Micro Raptor Z40 Review

It seems going micro is all the rage these days. Custom PC builders continue to test the limits of how much power they can squeeze a small of a footprint.

Base models of the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti come in at $279 ($30 less than the GTX 1660 Ti card we tested), while base models of the GeForce RTX 2060 start at $349. By that notion, there's a $70 gap between the families rather than the $50 one between our test cards. Each of these MSI cards will give you a boost over a base-clocked card, but know that there's actually more daylight between the GTX 1660 Ti and the RTX 2060 lines than may first seem, if you opt for a lesser sample of either one.
