2070 Super Vs 1080 Ti For Vr

Our videos are multi-gigabyte files and we’ve chosen a high quality provider to ensure fast downloads. However, that bandwidth isn’t free and so we charge a small monthly subscription fee of $5. We think it’s a small price to pay for unlimited access to top-tier quality encodes of our content. However, as you’ll see from the benchmarks, the performance uplift offered by Nvidia’s new card is substantial.

Based on the specifications alone we can surmise that the most powerful of the three cards is the RTX 2060, followed by the gtx 1080 8gb Ti, then GTX 1660 Super, with the GTX 1660 trailing in the rear. While clock speeds are relatively comparable across all four cards (and actually a little higher on the lower-end cards), the drop in CUDA cores from the RTX 2060 to the 1660 Ti is the main differentiating factor in performance. While the 1660 does take a step down in CUDA cores too, its use of GDDR5 memory leads to a 33 percent reduction in memory bandwidth. What we have in the GTX 1660 is a very welcome, if somewhat predictable graphics card which slots in almost perfectly in amongst other mid-range cards out there.

That means reference versions might be a fair bit slower, and there is the chance that the $219 (£199) launch price of this OC card might not stick around long after release day sales have passed. That won’t make a massive difference in terms of overall gaming performance, but does change the total bill of materials for the new card. GDDR6 may not necessarily be in the HBM2 realms of super-expensive memory tech, but switching to GDDR5 will likely represent a pretty significant cash saving.

The Nvidia Super series has been kind of hit and miss – with the RTX 2080 being a notable flop – but we can’t recommend the GTX 1660 Super enough. GTX 1660 Ti and 1660’s dedicated hardware encoders deliver 15% improved efficiency over prior generation graphics cards and are optimized for Open Broadcaster Software . Intro The GeForce RTX 2060 Super comes with core clock speeds of 1470 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2176 SPUs along with 136 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs. Almost all vendors offer similar performance card, I picked the Asus ones because of the vendor’s reputation and also the fact that there are two fans instead of just one. I think thermal performance is a great indicator of graphics performance, so it’s important to pick a card that has fans that hopefully can dissipate heat quickly.

Here is our recommendation of several graphics cards that are more or less close in performance to the one reviewed. It features two separate tests displaying a fight between a humanoid and a fiery creature seemingly made of lava. Using 1920×1080 resolution, Fire Strike shows off some realistic enough graphics and is quite taxing on hardware. GeForce gtx 1080 8gb‘s general performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU base clock, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of GeForce GTX 1660’s performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider its benchmark and gaming test results.

It also has a 6GB VRAM buffer, but it’s here where the changes have been made. Nvidia has upgraded the 8 Gb/s GDDR5 memory of the standard 1660 to 14 Gb/s GDDR6 memory and this sees a massive 75% increase in memory bandwidth. In fact, this provides the 1660 Super with even more memory bandwidth than the Ti model. Gigabyte’s Windforce 3X cooler features three 80mm fans, with ribbed fan blades to add rigidity and reduce noise. And those fans spin in alternate directions to minimize turbulence and maximize air-flow through the heatsink’s fins. The overall design is only 2-slots wide, which is nice to see in era where more and more cards essentially require 3 slots locations.
