But the Radeon’s appeal is on pricing and that will determine which way you should go. If Nvidia does offer the 1660 Super at $230 then we’d purchase it over a $200 RX 590 and that was probably their intention all along. At the intended $230 MSRP, the GTX 1660 Super would cost just 2% more per frame than the RX 590 and that makes it the better choice given the greatly reduced power consumption. At $240 it may still be the right choice for most, but anything more than that and you could argue strongly for the RX 590 at $200.
It allows you to tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customizable on-screen display. Advanced fan control is also included along with many more features to help you get the most out of your graphics card. The difficulty with ray-traced lighting effects is that they are exceedingly GPU intensive to render. That’s why the RT cores are required and make such a difference on RTX cards; especially the higher-end ones. If you want to play ray traced games at comfortable frame rates, the RTX 2060 is the only card to opt for in this case, though it will still be limited to 1080p in most games. The GTX 16-series cards will let you get a look at what ray tracing looks like, but they won’t be able to play many ray-traced games at anything close to comfortable frame rates.
Assuming you didn’t run out of patience for Nvidia’s latest card, and you haven’t recently bought a more expensive GPU, this one is worth checking out. Those who are upgrading from a GTX 9-series, GTX gtx 1090 1050, or a lesser card will likely notice huge performance gains, and you won’t have to spend much for the improvements. GIGABYTE provides new innovated 3D sensing product -Time of Flight camera.
That ‘slash’ between the logos and branding on the top of the card lights up and can be customized via Asus’ included software. The GTX 1660 Super is available today from $229, a $10 increase over the original. The GTX 1650 Super will go on sale November 22nd with pricing to be confirmed before launch.
Plus, at this price point it kind of pushes the Nvidia GeForce Ti out of relevance. You can get similar performance with the GTX 1660 Super, but for $50 (about £40, AU$70) less. A few months ago, we would have recommended the GTX 1660 Ti without even giving a second thought, but with the GTX 1660 Super, that card doesn’t really have a reason to exist anymore. This powerful photo mode lets you take professional-grade photographs of your games like never before. Now, you can capture and share your most brilliant gaming experiences with super-resolution, 360-degree, HDR, and stereo photographs.
Solid performance gains can also be seen when testing with Sniper Elite 4, the 1660 Super was 14% faster than the base model and just 4% slower than the Ti model, so another excellent result. Nvidia did claim up to 20% performance gains and we have our first example of that here with Monster Hunter World. The 1660 Super was good for 67 fps on average and that makes it 20% faster than the standard 1660 and just 7% slower than the 1660 Ti. We see another solid performance uplift, this time when testing with Battlefield V. A 13% increase over the base model is the best result we’ve seen yet.
Zotac was the first company to get me a gtx 1090 for review, and unlike the GTX 1660 Ti samples I tested, this card sports reference clocks. There will certainly be factory overclocked models, from Zotac as well as the other AIB partners, but here at least we can see the baseline level of performance. If you’re on the market for the best graphics card for 1080p gaming, you’re going to want the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super. The original GTX 1660 was already the best entry-level graphics card, and Nvidia basically made it better in every single way.
