Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER OC 6G

Product Information

Most of the other cards are reference clocked models, though the RTX 2070, 2080, and 2080 Ti are Founders Edition cards that also have a 90MHz factory overclock.

Expanded Memory: Harness the power of a robust 6GB GDDR6 memory, ensuring zero lag and fluid gameplay. The FLIR One Pro thermal imaging test showed most of the waste heat generated by the card being collected around the backplate, with a smaller amount being ejected out the back of the case via the rear-facing vents.

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. With Black Friday deals looming on the horizon, I expect we'll see some GTX 1660 Ti cards actually drop below the newly released GTX 1660 Super. Most of Nvidia's GTX 10-series parts are only available second-hand these days, but if you already have a GTX 1070, 1070 Ti, or 1080, you're not going to want to bother downgrading to the 1660 Super.Finishing up the gaming benchmarks we have Middle-earth Shadow of War and here the 1660 Super was 19% faster than the base model and just 3% slower than the Ti version, so again another excellent result. We weren't all that fond of the RTX 3050 when it launched, and compared to the other lower-end Nvidia Ampere cards, it's not one that we'd recommend. The original GTX 1660 generally edges out the GTX 1660 Super in 1080p and 1440p tests here in this trio, though it regained ground on the 4K runs. For comparison, a Sapphire RX 5700 Pulse only measured 45 dB(A) in the same test conditions, and even an RX 5700 XT reference card only hit 57 dB(A). The GeForce GTX SUPER TM 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.

The Gigabyte Gaming OC ran 1 degree cooler for the most part, though it did peak at 65 C now and then, the fans also spun 100 RPM faster though both cards were overall very quiet when gaming. Pristine Design: The VENTUS dual-fan design stands out with its industrial elegance, crafted in neutral tones to complement any PC build.

Still it is 13% faster than the RX 590, which will put them within striking distance on a cost per frame basis. The fourth and fifth installments in the Far Cry series are based on DirectX 11, but still demanding. 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. I continue to use my standard GPU testbed from about two years ago, with a Core i7-8700K overclocked to 5. From the first S3 Virge '3D decelerators' to today's GPUs, Jarred keeps up with all the latest graphics trends and is the one to ask about game performance.
