Geforce Gtx 1660 Super
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. DX12 and GeForce graphics cards enable developers to add amazing graphics effects like variable rate shading to Microsoft Windows-based PC games.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a TH graphics card review that had so few cards being compared. We capture our fps and frame time information with OCAT, and easy-to-use front end for Presentmon, during our benchmarks. We use GPU-Z to capture clock frequencies, fan speed, temperature, and power. We’ll resume using the Powenetics power testing system used in previous reviews soon. The GTX 1660 Super sits on a 192-bit bus fed by six 32-bit memory controllers. The Super’s GDDR6 video memory is the main differentiator between it and the original GTX 1660 that uses GDDR5.
To be fair to NVIDIA, some of this is because the GeForce product stack goes higher in price than before, especially with the $1100 RTX 2080 Ti. Still, NVIDIA has launched more cards at a faster pace than at any point gtx 1090 in the past half-decade. The Super cards in particular have added significantly to this count, with NVIDIA shipping what amounts to a mid-generation refresh for their lineup not even a year into its launch.
It was discontinued in April 2017, and Time Spy benchmark is now recommended to be used instead. Comparison of graphics card architecture, market segment, value for money and other general parameters. Finishing up the gaming benchmarks we have Middle-earth Shadow of War and here the 1660 Super was 19% faster than the base model and just 3% slower than the Ti version, so again another excellent result. The fact the Super can match the higher-spec gtx 1080 8gb silicon of the Ti with just a slight memory speed bump does show that those 128 CUDA cores don’t really amount to much when it comes to gaming performance. If you don’t have sufficient memory that will hold things up as system resources will need to be pulled from elsewhere to supplement your graphics card. And if the memory is slow you’re going to have to wait longer for it all to be pulled together and a frame to be displayed on your screen.
The Turing GPU architecture is a genuine advancement over the last-gen Pascal design, offering gaming improvements well beyond the ray tracing noise. We’ve been big fans of the Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti since it first arrived delivering the highest gaming performance we’ve seen in a GPU that costs less than $300. So long as we were talking MSRP versions anyways… there have been some factory overclocked cards topping the $300 mark and they’re harder to recommend. gigabyte gtx 1060 3gb Compared to the similarly priced AMD RX 590 there’s no competition here at all, as the 1660 Super is faster across the board by a decent margin, so AMD will need a price cut to remain competitive at this price point. It also smokes the GTX 1060, making it a very decent upgrade to that GPU, as it runs between 20 and 30 percent faster in most games. The addition of a Walmart Protection Plan adds extra protection from the date of purchase.
This change significantly improves memory bandwidth from 192.1 GBps to 336 GBps and serves as the primary source of the performance improvement. Memory capacity remains the same at 6GB, which is plenty for 1080p gaming. Both new Super cards are based on the Turing architecture and will use a variant of the TU116 silicon present in the 1660 and 1660 Ti. Like the other GTX Turing-based video cards, they do not include RTX support. The TU116 die is manufactured on the 12nm FFN process by TSMC, consists of 6.6 billion transistors, and measures in at 284 mm².
Keeping V-Sync and NULL active with G-Sync disabled is still faster, but you’ll still get that nasty screen tearing. Here you can see the user rating of the graphics cards, as well as rate them yourself. We selected several comparisons of video cards with performance more or less close to those reviewed, providing you with more probable options to consider. Both graphics cards satisfy the 100% minimum and 98% recommended requirements of all games known to us. It features two separate tests displaying a fight between a humanoid and a fiery creature seemingly made of lava.
2.Performance-This is a GTX 1660 SUPER and most people knows for what it is made. Yes, it runs every modern AAA title at high to ultra settings at 1080p with respectable 60+ to about 100+ FPS. Both cards look set to retail at similar prices once the GTX 1660 hits the shelves. Overall the Nvidia card is faster, but there are some titles where the difference is negligible and others where the AMD card is faster.
