It has a Base Clock Speed of 1530 MHz which can be Overclocked upto 1785 MHz. It has 1408 shading units, 88 texture mapping units and 48 ROPs. Unlike the GTX 1660, it comes with 6 Gigabytes of faster GDDR6 Memory and 192-bit Memory interface. It may be around $10 more than the original GTX 1660 but the faster memory gives a significant increase in your tasks and that's worth the more $10.
The card's dimensions are 229 mm x 111 mm x 35 mm, and it features a dual-slot cooling solution. The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER draws power from 1x 8-pin power connector with power draw of maximum 125 W, a PSU of 500W is recommended. It includes: 1x DVI, 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort. GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface.
The Geforce GTX 1660 Super is paired with a Ryzen 5 3600 @4.2 GHz (use atleast a CPU like Core i3 9100F) and 16 GB dual channel 3200MHz Memory. Few games are tested with the specifications.
Processor | Ryzen 3 3100 @3.9 GHz |
Graphics Card | Radeon RX 570 8GB GDDR5 |
Memory | 2x8GB 3200MHz CL14 |
Motherboard | TUF B550 Plus Gaming |
PSU | Corsair RM850 |
Storage | Samsung 970 Evo 1TB |
Here are the gaming results:
This GPU paired with the Ryzen 5 3600 scored really good FPS and was more around 60 FPS in all games except Microsoft Flight Simulator. There were more than 250 FPS in CS GO, thus it is great for E-sports titles. If you really want more than 60 FPS in all the games then lower the graphical settings to High or Medium, then you can play at 60+ FPS.
So, i will say that there is no Graphics card on this budget that can compete this beast. Even though it could not play Flight Simulator at above 60 FPS on ultra settings, it managed to play every other game at above 70 FPS. If you are a budget E-sports gamer than this will definitely score more than 240+ FPS on almost every E-sport game at high settings.
I will suggest everyone who has the same budget to go with this graphics card as it will give you the most value any Graphics card can.
