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.

In the less strenuous Middle Earth: Shadow of War, the GTX 1660 Super absolutely dominated, getting an average of 79 fps at 1080p with Ultra quality settings. Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super: performance This means that the GTX 1660 Super does draw 127.4W alone in the most taxing situations, so you should make sure you have at least a 500W power supply. 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.įinally, 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. We tested the EVGA GTX 1660 Super SC Ultra, and it's limited to DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort. One thing you should be aware of is that the ports are a bit limited on the GeForce GTX 1660 Super. That honestly makes it all the more impressive that it's still among the best Nvidia GeForce graphics cards you can buy. The GTX 1660 doesn't have RT cores, nor does the GTX 1660 Ti, so it only makes sense for the GTX 1660 Super to be limited here. 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).īut, really, at the end of the day you can't expect a graphics card in this weight class to compete with graphics cards that cost twice as much. This means that while you can technically enable ray tracing, it's going to turn whatever game you try to enable it on into a slideshow – more so than it does on any other graphics card. 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.Īnd, it's also important to note that this GPU doesn't have the RT and Tensor cores that the RTX 20-series of Turing graphics cards have.

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. 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.

When is it out? It was released in October 2019.How much is it? MSRP listed at $229 (about £180, AU$330).The snazzy retail packaging for the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super (Image credit: Future)
