Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER OC 6G

Product Information

I think the GTX 1650 Super will go up against the RX 5500, based on specs and early performance estimates, which again makes the GeForce GTX 1660 Super a bit of an oddity. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. This bump up to GDDR6 goes a long way to bridging the gap between the GTX 1660 and the GTX 1660 Ti, but it doesn't quite go all the way.

The fourth and fifth installments in the Far Cry series are based on DirectX 11, but still demanding. The legacy tests include runs of Hitman: Absolution, Tomb Raider (2013), and Bioshock: Infinite, the last being a game that no one asked to be still as well-optimized as it is in 2019. 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. 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.

Dynamic Connectivity: With DisplayPort x 3 and HDMI x 1, engage in a multi-dimensional gaming realm or an enriched workstation setup. It still has the GPU core counts and clockspeeds of the vanilla GTX 1660, but now it gets GDDR6 memory—which was one of the primary differentiators between the 1660 and 1660 Ti. During our testing, we accidentally left ray tracing on in Metro Exodus, and even the menu was nigh-unusable (to find out why, check out our " What is Ray Tracing" primer on the subject). In the event of a fault developing in the first 14 days of receiving your purchase, please get in touch with us as soon as possible, we will help you with troubleshooting and resolving the issue. 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.

Kingdom Come Deliverance has the 1660 Super performing very well again, beating the base model by a 9% margin to come in just 3 fps behind the 1660 Ti. The reason for the higher noise levels is pretty simple: EVGA isn't using a particularly robust heatsink, relying instead on fan speeds and airflow to keep the card cool. Skill memory and SSD storage to ensure the GPU is the limiting factor in performance (as much as possible). As alluded to earlier, we've got a mix of AAA titles in here as well as some more optimized, multiplayer-focused titles, since that is the primary metric by which Nvidia is hoping the GTX 1660 Super line is ultimately measured by. GeForce ® GTX® 16 SUPER Series features a dedicated hardware encoder that unlocks the ability to game and stream simultaneously with superior quality.The airflow is spilt by the triangular fan edge, and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface, effectively enhancing the airflow. The RX 590 is built on the latest refinement of AMD's older "Polaris" architecture, and with cards based on AMD's new-generation, 7nm "Navi" technology filtering out, I suspect this dynamic may change in the coming months.
