With 6GB VRAM and upto 14Gbps of bandwidth, you can truly experience the clarity of next-generation gaming. The TU116 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 284 mm² and 6,600 million transistors. The innovative “Alternate Spinning” solution reduces turbulent airflow, while the “Unique Blade Fan” design enhances the airflow further. A few months ago, we would have recommended the GTX 1660 Ti without even giving it a second thought, but with the GTX 1660 Super, that card doesn't really have a reason to exist anymore. Finally, if you do pick this graphics card up, you will need external power to make it run, in this case an 8-pin PCIe power connector.

Powered by the NVIDIA Turing™ architecture, it boasts an impressive 6GB GDDR6 memory with a 192-bit memory interface, ensuring fast and smooth gameplay even in the most demanding scenarios. drivers on the GTX 1660 Super, and I've spot-checked other Nvidia cards to ensure there are no anomalies.The GeForce GTX SUPER ™ Series has ultra-fast GDDR6 memory, bringing you performance that’s up to 50% faster than the original GTX 16 Series and up to 2X faster than previous-generation 10 Series GPUs. If you have some wiggle room in your wallet, the RTX 2060 Super is the next generation up from the GTX 1660 Super, but has a lot more to offer for not a whole lot more money.

The big question is what it adds up to: Did we really need the GeForce GTX 1660 Super, whether in Zotac Super Twin Fan form, or any form? 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.For our benchmark results we wanted to focus some of our efforts on the esports aspect of the GTX 1660 Super's abilities, as much of the press from Nvidia has centered around its ability to push 1080p multiplayer games to their highest-possible frame rates. Featuring concurrent execution of floating point and integer operations, adaptive shading technology, and a new unified memory architecture with twice the cache of its predecessor, Turing shaders enable awesome performance increases on today’s games. And if you're worried about the 12Gbps GDDR6 compared to 14Gbps on the Super, don't—the 1660 Ti cards I've tested can all overclock the VRAM to 14Gbps (and often 15Gbps). Results came back in line once we ran this predictable test, and unsurprisingly the GTX 1660 Super was 5 percent slower than the GTX 1660 Ti, and 12 percent faster than the original GTX 1660: again, closer to the Ti card than the non-Ti card. 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.

This is Futuremark's DirectX 12-enabled benchmark for predicting the performance of DirectX 12-enabled games. The Nvidia Super series has been kind of hit and miss – with the RTX 2080 being a notable flop – but we can't recommend the GTX 1660 Super enough. In Metro Exodus at 1080p, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super averaged 41 frames per second (fps), compared to the 38 scored by the vanilla GTX 1660 and the 44 scored by the 1660 Ti.The terms HDMI, HDMI High-Definition Multimedia Interface, HDMI Trade dress and the HDMI Logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing Administrator, Inc.

Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER draws power from 1x 8-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 125 W maximum. This isn't exactly a graphics card that you're going to run 10 displays off of, but we would have liked to see Nvidia drop the DVI port and add in either a second HDMI or maybe even a USB-C port. Still it is 13% faster than the RX 590, which will put them within striking distance on a cost per frame basis. To match the value of the RX 590, the new GTX 1660 Super may need to deliver 1660 Ti-like performance. 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.com is a leading authority on technology, delivering lab-based, independent reviews of the latest products and services. A month later we got the standard 1660 and we had nothing bad to say about it, not even anything remotely negative. If for any reason the manufacturer rejects the warranty claim, or you have any other difficulties please contact us and we will be more than happy to help. We also ran it through our standard video-card benchmarks, which test a card's abilities to handle AAA games at the highest possible quality settings.
