Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER OC 6G

Product Information

The 7th generation of the famous MSI TWIN FROZR Thermal Design brings the most advanced technology for ultimate cooling performance.

Skill memory and SSD storage to ensure the GPU is the limiting factor in performance (as much as possible). To prevent the stress on PCB, the 1660 Super series is furnished with back plates that befit for both colors. VIP Computer Centre Limited T/A Stormforce Gaming is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Pay4Later Limited, trading as Deko, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 728646). Most of the results are about the same, but several games—and Forza Horizon 4 in particular—required retesting with the latest drivers.

When Nvidia refreshed the RTX lineup with the Super models, I didn't expect to see that extend into the GTX range, yet here we are. The GTX 1660 Ti also does more with slightly less power, at a 120-watt requirement, while the GTX 1660 Super needs 125 watts (in the version we tested). It builds on the GeForce GTX 1660 to take the power up a notch, yet, it offers that boost in performance while still staying in the budget range for graphics card that makes a card like this so attractive. This will usually involve letting them know what has gone wrong and they will arrange for the issue to be rectified for you.

While the Radeon RX 5500 XT isn't as capable as the GTX 1660 Super, it's a good match against the GTX 1660, it's definitely a good option if you want to go with an affordable alternative from Team Red.DrMOS, originally only available for high-end server CPUs, is now available in all its glory in the next generation of Palit graphics cards. In our launch-day review we concluded it was the first GPU release in some time that we'd come away feeling completely pleased.

Being a Super card can sometimes mean the headroom for overclocking is reduced, since the Super variants already represent the top-end of the power curve a particular GPU die is capable of handling. The graphics card does manage to get a respectable 54fps in Middle Earth: Shadow of War, but it absolutely fell apart in Metro: Exodus, only managing to scrape by with 32 fps. 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.AMD, for example, has already announced a Radeon RX 5500 for later this year, though details are scarce. Because even though the RX 570 looks like great value, personally I want something that can handle at least 1440p and high to ultra settings. 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. First up we have Shadow of the Tomb Raider and here the new 1660 Super was 4% faster than the base model. Get even bigger performance boosts in modern games that take advantage of Turing’s advanced graphics features.
