Nvidia Gtx 1660 Super
The thing is, while a $50 difference in price isn’t that big, particularly in the high-end and extreme markets, for mainstream and budget builds where every cent counts, the GTX 1660 Super is an easy recommendation. It’s nearly as fast as its big brother and costs less, and it outperforms anything AMD currently offers in the same price range (it’s about 20 percent faster than the RX 590). If you can’t go much over $200 for a graphics card upgrade and you’re still running a GPU that’s several generations old, say hello to the GTX 1660 Super. Something else to consider is whether a $230 graphics card will do everything you want. It’s basically around GTX 1070 levels of performance, a card from three years ago that was routinely available for $350 . These days, a 1070 is still fine for 1080p gaming, but with next-gen consoles due out next year with ray tracing features, I think the RTX 2060 and RTX 2060 Super are better long-term investments.
Despite the huge price hike for this CPU over the Ryzen , it only offered a small boost to the Adobe Premier Pro export time. Nvidia’s latest entry to its GeForce GPU lineup is a rather interesting ‘super’ affordable graphics card, Nvidia GeForce . Not only does the GTX 1660 Super top the original GTX 1660, it also gives tough competition to the GTX 1660Ti. Again, check out our review for more details, but the Super version is well worth the extra $10 over the original GTX 1660’s price.
So if you’re wondering about the competing AMD parts in this performance range, you’ll have to wait a bit until the company decides to ship the RX 5500. The other interesting aspect about the GTX 16-series is the lack of hardware ray tracing features. There’s driver support for DirectX Raytracing , but generally speaking you won’t get much above 30 fps even at 1080p with the GTX 1660 models. With the RTX 2060 now starting at around $320 (and I’ve seen sales drop the price as low as $300), the GTX 1660 Ti is in a tough spot. I’d almost always encourage gamers to upgrade to the RTX 2060 over the 1660 Ti, since it’s only about $50 more. With the 1660 Super price of $229, that’s a big enough jump that the Super feels like a viable option.
The faster GDDR6 memory didn’t provide the newcomer with any victories, but considering it has a 9 percent deficit in GPU cores that’s to be expected. I continue to use my standard GPU testbed from about two years ago, with a Core i7-8700K overclocked to 5.0GHz to ensure the CPU isn’t a bottleneck in testing. The PC also uses fast DDR CL14 G.Skill memory and SSD storage to ensure the GPU is the limiting factor in performance .

It includes 6GB of fast GDDR6 dedicated graphics memory, and support for up to four displays. Before we get into the benchmarks, here’s a quick recap of the $200 – $300 price segment this year. Way back in February we got the first GTX 1660 series GPU, the $280 Ti model.
Looking at these figures the performance gain from buying the € 299,00 GTX 1660 Ti over the GTX 1660 Super is minimal. Below the benchmarks of Hardware.info confirm the minimal differences. Overall the GTX 1660 Ti remains faster than the GTX 1660 Super but with a very small margin.
