Verdict

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super is a mainstream graphics card based on the 12nm Turing architecture, featuring the TU116 GPU with 1,408 CUDA cores, a 1530 MHz base clock, and an 1785 MHz boost clock. A key defining characteristic is its 6 GB of GDDR6 VRAM with a 14 Gbps memory speed on a 192-bit bus, providing a substantial 336 GB/s memory bandwidth. Its main pros include excellent 1080p gaming performance that rivals the GTX 1660 Ti, high power efficiency with a 125W TDP that works well with 450W power supplies, and strong value for budget builds. However, its notable cons include a lack of dedicated RT and Tensor cores for hardware-accelerated ray tracing and DLSS, performance struggles at 1440p resolution in demanding titles, and the 6 GB of VRAM becoming a potential bottleneck for modern AAA games with high-resolution textures.

What customers like about NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super?

  • Excellent value for 1080p gaming, often referred to as a 'budget beast' for its price-to-performance ratio
  • Smooth performance in popular esports titles like Fortnite, CS2, and Valorant, often exceeding 100 FPS
  • Power efficient with a low 125W draw, making it compatible with smaller 450W-500W power supplies
  • Runs relatively cool and quiet under load, typically staying around 68-72°C
  • Significant upgrade over older mid-range cards like the GTX 1050 Ti or original GTX 1060
  • Compact form factor fits easily into most PC cases, including smaller builds

What customers dislike about NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super?

  • Lacks hardware support for Ray Tracing and DLSS, which limits performance in modern titles that rely on these features
  • The 6GB VRAM is increasingly insufficient for modern AAA games at high settings, leading to potential stuttering or crashes
  • Struggles with demanding 1440p gaming, often dropping below 60 FPS in unoptimized or modern titles
  • Limited port selection on many models, often featuring only one HDMI and one DisplayPort
  • Performance 'bottlenecks' can occur in newer titles like Stalker 2 or Alan Wake 2, requiring low graphical settings
