Nvidia Releases Gtx 1660 Super And Its Good!
However this means it’s outgunned by the gtx 1080 8gb by around 20% , which is why AMD is instead using the card to stake their claim to the $199 price point. So for buyers who absolutely can’t go above $200, it’s an option; but at this point GTX 1660 Super doesn’t face any major competition. At current prices, the $229 GTX 1660 Super is $50 cheaper than the GTX 1660 Ti. And with the card only trailing NVIDIA’s top 1660 card by about 4%, I would argue that the GTX 1660 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. At this point, the partners have been shipping TU116-based cards for over 6 months, so they have been able to hone their GTX 1660 family designs.
The more complex a scene the more needs to be stored in the memory of your graphics card, and the faster that memory is the quicker it can be pulled out and flashed up on your gaming monitor. Texture fillrate gtx 1080 8gb is calculated as the number of TMUs multiplied by the base core clock speed. Solid graphics card, not close to top of the line but low power draw and can run all the games I play with all max settings.
And at 1440p half the benchmarks show that either the Super is as quick as the Ti or maybe even faster, with the latest GTX Turing card often delivering around 12% higher frame rates on average. We’re talking about affordable, mainstream graphics cards here, and so the 1080p performance is arguably the most important metric with the Super card’s 1440p chops maybe a secondary consideration. But that higher spec memory does come into play at the higher resolutions, and no matter what, more often than not the Super is tangibly faster than the straight GTX 1660 version.
Ultimately the GTX 1660 is exactly what it needs to be – much quicker than the GTX GB, a match for the RX 590 and a huge step up from the GTX GB, which unless you’re picking it up for less than $160/£150, really isn’t worth it now. Far Cry 5 was tiny bit slower on the Scan PC than on my own test system, but only by a couple of frames per second, with the Pc maintaining a minimum frame rate of at least 67fps, with clear scope for gaming at higher resolutions. Stepping up to 1440p and the GTX 1660 Ti extended its lead over the cheaper Turing card and only the RTX 2060 managed to reach over 60fps consistently.
In the new Nvidia World Order the top card in the stack will be a Ti variant with any potential Super options slipping a little lower down the graphics card pecking order. The 16 series, commercialized within the same timeframe as the 20 series, aims to cover the entry level to midrange market, not addressed by the latter. As a result, the media have mainly compared it to AMD’s Radeon RX 500 series of GPUs. The Super version of the 1660 is 10 percent faster than its predecessor, for the same price.
