Gigabyte Geforce Rtx 2060 Super
They can also be notably cheaper in some cases, especially when you factor in AMD’s incredible game bundles. This is where the availability and packaging options can make or break a deal. It’s important to note that availability can also factor into the equation and impact pricing. If you are looking for something a little more affordable with a similar speed, check out the RX 5500 XT.
Despite the huge price hike for this CPU over the Ryzen , it only offered a small boost to the Adobe Premier Pro export time. Despite the higher performance than the GTX GB in every test, sometimes significantly so, the gtx 1080 8gb used very little extra power – just 2W under load and with a similar idle power draw too. The Pascal range of cards prided itself on its efficiency and with near 30% more performance here on occasions, Turing is clearly doing the same. Some games like Forza Horizon 4 can break 60fps, but most games will run at closer to 45fps. Dropping the image quality a few notches can get the card back to 60fps if you want, but I think it’s better to stick with 1080p.
So while it’s around 35-40% faster than a GTX GB, GTX 1660 Super is going to be much more enticing to GTX 960 owners and the like, where the new card delivers more than twice the performance. Unsurprisingly, the GTX 1660 Super occupies the same general slot within NVIDIA’s product stacks as the easier GTX 1660 cards. Which means that for system builders and upgraders alike, NVIDIA is pitching the card at the same general audience as before. That the GTX 1660 Super offers better performance for the price is definitely an improvement here, and it will presumably ensure NVIDIA gets to stay ahead of AMD’s impending cards. If it feels like NVIDIA has launched a lot of GeForce video cards over the past year, that’s because they have.
Both of those numbers are slightly higher than GeForce gtx 1090 Ti’s clocks, though they cannot compensate entirely for the missing SMs. Turing’s Streaming Multiprocessors are composed of fewer CUDA cores than Pascal’s, but the design compensates in part by spreading more SMs across each GPU. The newer architecture assigns one scheduler to each set of 16 CUDA cores , along with one dispatch unit per 16 CUDA cores . Four of those 16-core groupings comprise the SM, along with 96KB of cache that can be configured as 64KB L1/32KB shared memory or vice versa, and four texture units.
And with the card only trailing NVIDIA’s top 1660 card by about 4%, I would argue that the Ti has been rendered redundant at this point; the GTX 1660 Ti isn’t far enough ahead to provide much in the way of value. Instead, the next real step up after the GTX 1660 Super is the GTX 2060, which is 22% faster, but running at around $100 more expensive. Meanwhile, as I mentioned towards the start of this article, while NVIDIA is launching the new GTX 1660 Super card today, they are not going to be retiring any of their other cards in its wake. So, on paper, the GTX 1660 Super is going to be positioned very narrowly between the GTX 1660 Ti and the GTX 1660 .
