Geforce® Gtx 1660 Super Gaming Oc 6g Key Features
Pretty good for the money although I was hoping Nvidia would of released a dual fan reference version like the other Super cards. Nvidia’s ReShade, a modding/post-processing tool, allows you to create post-processing filters for games and use them in real-time, as well as on still photos/screenshots. The update here is integrating support for Reshade into the GeForce Experience via Freestyle or through Ansel. To implement a filter, extract it into the proper path, activate Ansel (Alt+F2) or Freestyle (Alt+F3), and you can apply the Reshade filters you like, bringing an Instagram-like experience.
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 . Browse all of the latest GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER graphics cards that take advantage of Turing’s advanced graphics features.
To match the value of the RX 590, the new gigabyte gtx 1060 3gb may need to deliver 1660 Ti-like performance. For those of you not keeping tabs, we now have the GTX 1660 for $220, the GTX 1660 Ti for $280, the RTX 2060 for $350 and the RTX 2060 Super for $400. In the price range between $200 and $400 there were already 4 GeForce options, but as of today we now have 6. The GTX 1660 Super slots in at $230 and there’s also the 1650 Super coming next month, no word on pricing yet. It’s only the Assassin’s Creed and Total War benchmarks where there’s very little between them, elsewhere at 1080p you’re looking at between 10 – 21% higher frame rates from the GTX 1660 Super. There are even a few occasions where the Super actually polls higher than the Ti card, though only ever by a few frames here and there, and generally never more than potential testing variance either.
It is only the GeForce gtx 1080 8gb that is arriving on store shelves today, however. 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.
I’ve included what we know of the GTX 1650 Super in the table as well, plus the 2060 and 2060 Super to show what you get with the next level above the GTX cards. It’s worth pointing out that the 1650 also uses TU116 now—it was necessary to use the larger die in order to get the improved NVENC hardware, since Nvidia didn’t include that in TU117. It’s the same TU116 GPU, still with 22 SMs enabled , now with 14Gbps GDDR6. That’s not how things played out, however, and now we end up with an even more crowded budget to mid-range set of Nvidia offerings.

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.
And those fans spin in alternate directions to minimize turbulence and maximize air-flow through the heatsink’s fins. The overall design is only 2-slots wide, which is nice to see in era where more and more cards essentially require 3 slots locations. Tried and true x86 architecture based servers with support for the latest Intel and AMD processors. Finally, the competitive situation for the gtx 1090 is a mixed bag. AMD is still doing what they can, and in this case is pitching the Radeon RX 590 as their closest GTX 1660 Super competitor. The admittedly awkward, late-cycle Polaris card was originally created to beat GTX GB on performance , which it certainly did.
And in case you were wondering, this support will also extend to Turing-based, non-RTX cards like the GeForce GTX 1660 and GeForce GTX 1660 Ti . There was between 10-15% between the GTX 1660 and GTX GB too – again Nvidia was right on the money here. 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. Another relatively easy game to run if you have a mid-range graphics card, AMD’s RX 590 was particularly strong here, bettering even the GTX 1660 Ti. The latter wasn’t that much quicker than the GTX 1660 either, with the lower three Nvidia cards bunching up at the bottom of the graph. The GTX 1660 Ti performed excellently and was well ahead of the RX 590, leaving the GTX 1660 snapping at the AMD card’s heels.
GeForce GTX® 1660 SUPER™ features a dedicated hardware encoder that unlocks the ability to game and stream simultaneously with superior quality. On our rig, which included a GTX 2080 and an i7-4790K, we found that we could turn most of the ray tracing related settings to Ultra or Extreme without dipping below 30FPS. That said, this shader pack doesn’t require an RT Core for smooth performance and by all accounts runs well with Nvidia 1000 series cards. That’s right, graphics cards like the GeForce GTX 1060 on up through the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and even the Titan Xp will have limited support for ray tracing.
