In the context of the RTX 2000 Super series graphics cards to bring the superior performance, the GTX 1060 SUPER is not much different from the next version.
The product segment of less than $ 500 is inherently "cramped" with a multitude of choices and prices are only marginally different. This makes the appearance of an option seem more redundant than useful.
Overall, GIGABYTE GTX 1660 SUPER doesn't have a lot of innovation in the design language compared to other mid-range display cards launched this year. In terms of hardware, the GTX 1660 SUPER is sandwiched between the GTX 1660 and GTX 1660 Ti with the configuration does not have many noticeable points.
The internal memory of the GTX 1660 SUPER is increased to 14 Gbps while that of the GTX 1660 is 8 Gbps and the GTX 1660 Ti is 12 Gbps. The CUDA multiplier in the graphics processor of GTX 1660 SUPER is equivalent to the GTX 1660, so it can be said that this is an upgraded version of 1660.
Targeting low-end and mid-range configurations, it's no wonder that the Gigabyte GTX 1660 SUPER is equipped with only 1 8-pin head and a relatively compact cooling structure. Gigabyte GTX 1660 SUPER is equipped with an output port system that includes: 3 DP 1.4 ports; 1 HDMI 2.0 port and a nice backplate feels the overall appearance of this card is seamless and "cool" to surprise.
However, with the upgrade points do not bring much "benefits" in practice, Gigabyte GTX 1660 SUPER proved much less attractive than the two "clamped tail" products mentioned above. This is also the reason why testing the actual experience on this card is necessary.
With 14242 points of Fire Strile and 6163 points of Time Spy benchmark, it is not uncommon to test on some off-line titles such as Assassin's Creed Odyssey or Shadown of the Tomb Raider for the average FPS stable at 53 ~ 71 FPS. Although not as high, but with heavy offline games like this, Gigabyte GTX 1660 SUPER is relatively satisfactory in terms of performance.
However, if you are wondering between the GTX 1660 and GTX 1660 Super, then perhaps the Super version will be more reasonable when in fact the price difference between these two versions is only ten dollars. After all, spending a few hundred more to buy more "few FPS" is worth or not depending on the practical needs and your wallet more than "on the books".
