Pny Geforce® Gtx 1660 6gb Blower
Priced at £259/$279, GTX 1660 Ti is a direct replacement for GTX 1060, delivering a substantial increase in gaming frame-rates, often exceeding the power of the outgoing GTX 1070. The GTX 1660 still came out as the faster card every time, but the improvements offered were arguably so small that you probably wouldn’t notice them without the aid of a frame rate counter. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super is based on the same TU116 GPU as both the GTX 1660 and the GTX 1660 Ti, but has the same 1,408 CUDA cores as the original 1660. The big difference over the original graphics card is the bump up to GDDR6 video memory, resulting in a boost in memory speed from 8Gbps to 14Gbps – that’s just as fast as the VRAM in the massively powerful RTX 2080 Ti.
Once again, there’s a huge near 30% step up from the GTX GB, meaning that you’d probably consider the new card a worthwhile upgrade. Individual results will vary from that a bit, but it’s a reasonable baseline estimate. There gigabyte gtx 1060 3gb will likely be factory overclocked models that will run about 5 percent faster on the core clock, and the better models will hit slightly higher speeds, but I wouldn’t recommend spending too much extra for such a card.

When he’s not covering the news he’s working on how-to tips for PC users, or tuning his eGPU setup. I should note that AMD’s free games bundle only lasts until April 6th 2019, though, so depending on what they follow it up with , then the GTX 1660 may well regain its crown as the ultimate graphics card for £200 / $220.
It’s hard to predict exact pricing but considering all regular cards are priced at $230 or more, we are working under the assumption that the 1660 Super will come in at $240. At this price the Super is better value than existing GTX 1660 models and much better value than the 1660 Ti. 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.
Here you can see the user rating of the graphics card, as well as rate it yourself. This is probably the most ubiquitous benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 , and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities. But for this nominally cheaper Nvidia card its current gaming performance makes it a far more worthy purchase than the RX 590 for a gamer on a budget. There is, however, still the point that the RX 580 isn’t thatfar off the performance of either the RX 590 or , and just about undercuts both cards in terms of its pricing. I would say that this Gigabyte GTX 1660 card is quite heavily overclocked compared with the reference clocked GPUs, despite it sharing the same MSRP at launch.
