Reviews last updated: June 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 Super OC

  • Excellent price-to-performance ratio for 1080p gaming
  • Near GTX 1660 Ti performance at a significantly lower MSRP
  • Windforce 3X cooling system keeps the card very cool (load temps around 61-65°C)
  • Extremely quiet operation with '3D Active Fan' (0dB) tech for silent idling
  • Upgraded 14 Gbps GDDR6 memory provides a massive 75% bandwidth increase over the standard 1660
  • Efficient power consumption requiring only a 450W PSU and a single 8-pin connector
  • Features a protective backplate for improved structural integrity and aesthetics
  • Factory overclocked out of the box for better immediate performance

What we don't like about GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 Super OC

  • Lacks dedicated Ray Tracing (RT) and Tensor cores found in RTX series cards
  • 6GB of VRAM is becoming a limitation for the most demanding modern titles
  • Plastic backplate material feels less premium than metal alternatives
  • Limited overclocking headroom as the factory settings already push the GPU near its limits
  • Physical length of the triple-fan design may be too long for some compact cases
  • RGB lighting is minimal and the proprietary control software can be buggy
  • Performance at 1440p requires significant settings reductions in newer games

Verdict

The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Super OC is a factory-overclocked mid-range graphics card based on the NVIDIA Turing architecture, featuring 1,408 CUDA cores and an increased boost clock of 1,830 MHz compared to the reference 1,785 MHz. It is equipped with 6GB of high-speed GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit interface, delivering a significant 336 GB/s bandwidth for smooth 1080p gaming performance. The card utilizes Gigabyte's Windforce 2X cooling system with alternate spinning 90mm fans and a protection backplate for enhanced thermal efficiency and structural integrity. Main pros include its excellent price-to-performance ratio, near-GTX 1660 Ti performance levels, and quiet, cool operation under load. However, notable cons include its lack of dedicated hardware for ray tracing and DLSS, as well as the 6GB VRAM limit which may struggle with the most demanding ultra-texture settings in modern AAA titles.
