Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER OC 6G

Product Information

As with the other 16 series GPU's the 1660 Super forgoes the AI, and ray tracing without compromising on overall performance. He holds a BS in Computer Science from Brigham Young University and has been working as a tech journalist since 2004, writing for AnandTech, Maximum PC, and PC Gamer. Overall, the 1660 Super is 3-5 percent slower than the 1660 Ti, and it's about 15-20 percent faster than the vanilla GTX 1660.

We feel like this title is more representative of your average AAA game, so you can expect some killer performance in most of the games you throw at it.

Despite the game languishing in bugs and server problems for the first year, Ubisoft has worked hard on its competitor to CS:GO to make it one of the most highly played games on the Steam platform, with 45 million players and growing as of late 2019.

If a fault develops after 30 days, you will need to get in touch with the manufacturer to open a warranty claim. Accelerated Core/Memory: Experience the thrill of gaming at an impressive 1815 MHz Boost Clock coupled with a Memory Speed of 14 Gbps. 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.

There's driver support for DirectX Raytracing (DXR), but generally speaking you won't get much above 30 fps even at 1080p with the GTX 1660 models. DrMOS offers high current circuits, low noise operation, and effective reduction of heat generating.For this review, Nvidia shipped me the EVGA GTX 1660 Super Ultra SC, which means it comes with a modest factory overclock. The GTX 1660 Super is also the first Super variant we've seen from Nvidia in its GTX (as opposed to RTX) line of graphics cards, which is to say, the cards that don't come with the ray-tracing and DLSS capabilities of the company's flagship RTX cards. Hopefully this comes as a surprise to no one, but the GTX 1660 Super ends up performing just a bit slower than the GTX 1660 Ti in pretty much every test I ran.

This will usually involve letting them know what has gone wrong and they will arrange for the issue to be rectified for you. It's important to note that the 1660 Super (and 1650 Super) are intended to coexist with the other GTX 16-series GPUs, rather than replacing anything. With the Heat Pipe Direct Touch, the GPU and VRAM receive effective cooling, thanks to the direct contact with the copper heat pipe, which maximizes heat dissipation.Get improved power efficiency over the previous generation for a faster, cooler and quieter gaming experience. There were even a few titles such as The Witcher 3, For Honor and Monster Hunter World which saw gains in the 18 to 25% range. He eventually built his first custom PC in 1990 with a 286 12MHz, only to discover it was already woefully outdated when Wing Commander was released a few months later. 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).

I continue to use my standard GPU testbed from about two years ago, with a Core i7-8700K overclocked to 5. If that suffices for your gameplay (and it should for the lion's share of PC owners), Zotac's GeForce GTX 1660 Super Twin Fan handles the job admirably.

DrMOS, originally only available for high-end server CPUs, is now available in all its glory in the next generation of Palit graphics cards. Here we see that the new GTX 1660 Super delivered 88 fps on average across the entire range of games tested.
