The 'versus' type sites can be a bit sketchy but if you just search "1660 super review" you'll find plenty of benchmarks.

I guess you are selling not buying? As you have one in a machine.
Just search the card on ebay and select 'sold items'. This will show the range people are actually paying. As the saying goes something is only worth what people will pay for it.

i apologize for the poor communication on my part.  I just bought the 1660 super from facebook marketplace for 80$  i had a low profile 1650 that i was using in my hp sff pc which i upgraded  by building a new am4 pc and then sold yesterday for 100$  i spent 80$ back for the 1660 super as it seems to perform about 66% better than the 1650?  Also my low profile 1650 is now for sale on fb marketplace but we'll see how that goes.  Ebay shows the 1650 low profile selling used for about 150$ which i think is too high given a low profile 3050 new is 180$  But i listed it at 150$ anyway and of course i'll expect anyone savvy enough to make a sff build with it to try to talk me down to a more reasonable 120$ish range.

here's my spoecs if anyone is interested for my am4 build.  it was about 200$ for the new parts and i reused as many of the old parts as possible.  I bought new a powersupply, case, motherboard, and cpu and bought the low end of each.

I actually went to microcenter in rockville, md which was for me in DC like an hour by bus and i had this black wagon fill of pc components on the bus on the way home, covered with a blanket to try to help prevent getting jacked on the bus...  It was quite the event with me having intestinal issues that day and having to get off the bus and do the unseemly crouched in someone's bushes.  It was a longer ride home for sure.

$80 seems reasonable, put it on ebay and see where it goes
Where I come from, Quality is job one, so we stay up all night just to get the job done.
