Geforce® Gtx 1660 Oc 6g Key Features
Finally, if you do pick this graphics card up, you will need external power to make it run, in this case an 8-pin PCIe power connector. This means that the GTX 1660 Super does draw 127.4W alone in the most taxing situations, so you should make sure you have at least a 500W power supply. One thing you should be aware of is that the ports are a bit limited on the GeForce GTX 1660 Super. We tested the EVGA GTX 1660 Super SC Ultra, and it’s limited to DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort. This isn’t exactly a graphics card that you’re going to run 10 displays off of, but we would have liked to see Nvidia drop the DVI port and add in either a second HDMI or maybe even a USB-C port.
MSI applies their latest iteration of the TWIN FROZR 7 cooler for the GeForce which makes use of two 9 cm TORX 3.0 fans which combine the advantages of both traditional and dispersion fan blades to generate huge amounts of airflow. The new trims on the traditional fan blades create concentrated airflow for higher air pressure while also reducing noise. The Gaming X edition has been designed with budget in mind and is merely a few tenners more expensive over reference. It’s an attractive product with good cooling and acoustic performance.
Nvidia’s claimed boost over the GTX GB was spot on here with a 15% advantage in minimum frame rate courtesy of the GTX 1660. Stepping up to 2,560 x 1,440 and there’s very little difference between the RX 590 and GTX 1660, with just a small bump in the minimum frame rate for the Nvidia card. A minimum frame rate of 37fps is a great result here given this is a mid-range resolution at some fairly high settings in this game, although I’d be tempted to opt for the GTX 1660 Ti for a little more headroom.
The Gigabyte GeForce gtx 1080 8gb Super 6GB OC also features customizable RGB lighting, which can be controlled via Gigabyte’s RGB Fusion tool. Over and above tweaking the color, the lighting on the card can be set to a number of different modes – like blinking, cycling, solid, etc. There are a couple of LEDs tucked away near the power connectors on the card, to indicate whether power from the PSU is connected and functioning properly as well. The addition of a Walmart Protection Plan adds extra protection from the date of purchase.
Yes, it’s still the 12nm TU116 graphics silicon, but Nvidia has cut out a pair of streaming multiprocessors from the package to take it from 24 SMs down to 22 SMs. That means the CUDA core count has dropped from 1,536 to 1,408… which isn’t actually all that much. In fact with a drop of just 8% in CUDA core count that makes it the smallest slice Nvidia has ever removed to make the non-Ti version of a GPU. Because of the pricing spread between the first 16-series card and the top two AMD Polaris GPUs, picking the exact specs of the non-Ti version of the gtx 1090 must have felt a little like trying to nail a loose bowel movement to the wall. On the one hand the GTX 1660 cannot be specced out to cannibalise the 1660 Ti, and that means it has to be tangibly slower than its slightly older sibling.
The GeForce GTX 1650 Super will be arriving at little later in November. NVIDIA is introducing some new driver and GeForce Experience-related features today too, which we will cover in a just bit. The GTX 1660 Super still has 6GB of video memory — enough for a card of its class — but it’s GDDR6, rather than GDDR5, and it data rate is 14Gbps, rather than 8Gbps. This increases memory bandwidth from 192 GB/sec to 336 GB/sec, which is actually higher than the GTX 1660 Ti, and on par with the original RTX 2060. This is fantastic mid-range video card capable of handling 120 fps framerate games for a mid-range price. Comes with 6GB dedicated RAM and tools to auto-download latest/updated drivers.
