NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Benchmark and Specs

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

Released in 2019, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is a GPU from NVIDIA. According to our GPU Benchmark, this GPU is a good card for gaming with a score of 3755 points.

The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER has 6 GiB of GDDR6 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 328 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 192 bits. When choosing a GPU, plan ahead and select a model with enough memory for your needs. High resolutions such as 4K require significantly more memory than 1080p as there is more data to display on the screen.

In terms of clock speed, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GPU core runs at a frequency of 1530 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1785 MHz. A clock speed is the frequency at which the GPU updates. A higher speed means more processing can happen per cycle. This is useful only when comparing cards of the same generation, as other architectures may process more or less per clock.

As for rendering API support, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. Newer APIs are usually more efficient, allowing for better performance in games and better graphical effects.

This chip has a Thermal Design Power of 125W: the total amount of waste heat generated. A card that runs hotter will need better cooling and will draw more power from the wall.
