Gtx 1660 Vs Gtx 1660 Ti Vs. Rtx 2060
The gigabyte gtx 1060 3gb does best when prices are kept closer to $200 than $250—because at $250, you’re probably better off just moving up to a GTX 1660 Ti. But, really, at the end of the day you can’t expect a graphics card in this weight class to compete with graphics cards that cost twice as much. The GTX 1660 doesn’t have RT cores, nor does the GTX 1660 Ti, so it only makes sense for the GTX 1660 Super to be limited here. GeForce GTX® 1660 SUPER™ features a dedicated hardware encoder that unlocks the ability to game and stream simultaneously with superior quality. SUPER graphics cards are optimized for your favorite streaming apps to provide maximum performance for your live stream. GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and 1660’s features a dedicated hardware encoders that unlocks the ability to game and stream simultaneously with superior quality.
That’s comparable to GeForce GTX GB, and a 33% reduction compared to GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. Combined with the loss of two SMs, dropping from GDDR6 to GDDR5 memory accounts for GeForce GTX 1660’s lower performance versus 1660 Ti. GDDR5 allows for a truly mainstream price point, balancing price against performance. In Metro Exodus at 1080p, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super averaged 41 frames per second , compared to the 38 scored by the vanilla GTX 1660 and the 44 scored by the 1660 Ti.
Just like Ice Storm benchmark, it has been discontinued in January 2020 and replaced by 3DMark Night Raid.

That’s the card responsible for Nvidia having to cut close to the Ti bone in terms of the ’s specifications, and it’s actually a rather close-fought battle between the two.
Way back in February we got the first GTX 1660 series GPU, the $280 Ti model. In our launch-day review we concluded it was the first GPU release in some time that we’d come away feeling completely pleased. The 1660 Ti offered GTX 1070-like performance for a slight price premium over the GTX GB. Without any competition from AMD it was a pretty good result. Gigabyte goosed the boost clock for the GPU to 1,860MHz – the reference spec calls for 1,785MHz. Both the Gigabyte and ASUS cards we’ll be featuring here stick to NVIDIA’s spec for their memory, but push the GPU base and boost clocks upward to further improve performance.
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 gigabyte gtx 1060 3gb 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.
If you’re buying a new graphics card today, you should almost definitely get the GTX over the 6GB GTX 1060 .When I bumped the resolution up to 2560×1440, however, something quite strange happened. Testing with The Division 2 sees the 1660 Super land right between the base model 1660 and the Ti version. That means with 74 fps on average the faster memory resulted in a 9% performance uplift.
The TU116 based 1660 GPU has 1536 shader for the Ti model and 1408 shader cores (aka CUDA cores / Stream processors) tied to 6GB of memory for the regular 1660 (non-Ti). So you can choose two video card series based on the same chip, the GTX 1660 and the 1660 Ti. The Ti variants we have seen in the first launch wave and thus will get GDDR6 graphics memory, the non-Ti is fitted with GDDR5 graphics memory as well as offering 6GB and 3GB configurations. The 1660 series is making use of the Turing architecture but will not have Raytracing and Tensor cores, this is why NVIDIA dropped the RTX suffix back to GTX. The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti cards are to occupy the 250 to 300 USD price domain where the GTX 1660 will sit in a 200 to 250 USD pricing level, currently occupied by the AMD Polaris 20-based Radeon RX 580 and RX 570 series. The 1660 series graphics cards are based on Turing architecture, offering just that fundamental shading engine.
