Nvidia Gtx 1660 Super
NvidiaWe haven’t had time to play around with the new feature yet, but it sure sounds cool on paper. Don’t be surprised to see the original model’s new pricing settle in around there. The first graph shows the relative performance of the videocard compared to the 10 other common videocards in terms of PassMark G3D Mark. OnLogic will ship anywhere in the U.S., Canada and, at its discretion and under specific terms, to other international destinations.
The clock speeds of the card would be maintained at 1530 MHz base and 1785 MHz boost. In terms of memory, the card would receive a big upgrade in the form of GDDR6 which was missing on the existing GTX 1660. The GTX 1660 SUPER with 6 GB GDDR6 memory would feature 14 Gbps dies running across a 192-bit bus interface to deliver a total bandwidth of 336 GB/s. We’ve seen this in a few games and with Project Cars 2 we have yet another example where the extra memory bandwidth leads to no performance uplift, just an extra frame for the 1660 Super over the non-super version. Nvidia isn’t quite done with its Turing architecture just yet, and is releasing what is likely to be the final graphics cards in its product stack, plugging two holes to complete its lineup.
Though the GTX 1660 Ti has slower memory, it’s still at the top of this 3-card stack due to having more CUDA cores, more texture units, and a bigger L1 cache. The new 1660 Super will also support all the new software advancements Nvidia is announcing today as well. At 1,920 x 1,080, the GTX 1660 was a huge amount faster than the GTX GB, offering a near 30% speed boost to the minimum frame rate. While there was a big step up on the minimum from the RX 590, the latter was only 2fps behind on the average frame rate. Given the price difference between it and the GTX 1660 Ti, the pricing here is pretty much spot on too, with the more expensive Turing card adding around 15% on top of the GTX 1660’s performance. So coming to the specifications of the NVIDIA GeForce , the card would rock 1408 CUDA cores, 80 Texture Mapping Units, and 48 raster operation units.
In the case of the former, we would get the GTX 1660 SUPER at the same price of $229 US and in the second case, we could get a slight price bump of around $249 US. For € 249,00 MSRP there is no denying this GTX 1660 Super can be described as best bang bang for your buck GPU at the moment! All major GPU manufacturers like Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and announced their version of the GTX 1660 Super. Momentarily stocks are low and prices are higher than MSRP but this will stabilize once the stocks are filled. For your convenience we included a few links containing reviews of the GTX 1660 Super for you to view/read.
Combined with prices dropping over the past six months on the existing RX 590 cards and it seems Nvidia wants to improve the way its cards stack up against AMD’s current and future offerings. At least that’s how I see things; I’m sure Nvidia would say this was always the plan. It’s important to note that the 1660 Super are intended to coexist with the other GTX 16-series GPUs, rather than replacing anything. That means Nvidia now has five GTX 16-series parts instead of three.
Using 1920×1080 resolution, Fire Strike shows off some realistic enough graphics and is quite taxing on hardware. We saw a little bit of that in games like Project Cars 2, Prey and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. But we also saw a lot of gains in the vicinity of 7-13%, which is how we arrived at a 10% improvement on average.
Ice Storm was used to measure entry level laptops and Windows-based tablets performance. It utilizes DirectX 11 feature level 9 to display a battle between two space fleets near a frozen planet in 1280×720 resolution. Discontinued in January 2020, it is now superseded by 3DMark Night Raid. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop gtx 1080 8gb reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one.
These cards, like the mid-range and high-end Super cards that preceded them, are also designed to improve performance and offer a better price-to-performance ratio than the non-super cards that preceded them. These value charts can’t fully quantify every potential buyer, as for many people raw performance will hold more weight than price. It’s why some gamers buy the RTX 2080 Ti, even though it’s at the bottom of the GPU value charts and only about half way up the system value charts.
The smaller the overlap between the yellow and green bars, the better the value for money. We updated the motherboard to the latest gigabyte gtx 1060 3gb available BIOS , from August 2019. We enabled the memory’s XMP profile to get it running at the rated 3200 MHz CL16 specification.
