The faster GDDR6 memory didn't provide the newcomer with any victories, but considering it has a 9 percent deficit in GPU cores that's to be expected. With two 90mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning, and composite heat pipes, this cooling system is designed to keep your GPU cool under pressure, ensuring consistent performance and prolonging the life of your card. The GeForce GTX 1660 graphics card family hasn't been out for even a year, but it looks like Nvidia's penchant to "Super"-size all its cards has given it its turn in the Super barrel.

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.

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). A mild 3% performance increase is seen in Far Cry New Dawn, taking the frame rate from 87 fps up to 90 fps and that meant the 1660 Super was 11% slower than the Ti model. Traditional Fan Blade: This design ensures a steady and consistent airflow, maintaining the right temperature for peak performance. Every setting is tested multiple times to ensure the consistency of the results, and I use the best score.

They are additionally backward compatible with all current generation games and virtual reality hardware. Clearly that higher clocked GDDR6 memory is power hungry and here we see an increase on total system draw by 9% over the standard 1660.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. This will usually involve letting them know what has gone wrong and they will arrange for the issue to be rectified for you. Solid performance gains can also be seen when testing with Sniper Elite 4, the 1660 Super was 14% faster than the base model and just 4% slower than the Ti model, so another excellent result. That's small by most card standards, and plenty petite enough to fit in many compact builds, if you so choose.

A golden oldie, yet still super-popular around the globe, Counter Strike: Global Offensive has changed almost nothing about its core gameplay since 1999. 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.
