gtx 1660 super overclock msi afterburner

Although it just a single upgrade in question, It’s not all bad news as you’ll see later on, on the contrary, it will make a decent performance margin difference because it’s a pretty substantial hardware upgrade.īesides the video memory change, that’s basically it, everything else is the same, we have 1408 CUDA core, 88 texture units and 48 ROP’s, and the same GPU core and boost clock speeds, but these are not set in stone since they vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, their factory overclock and cooling capabilities. Well… You’ll be a bit disappointed, as many of us probably were when the first information and initial reviews about it came out, as only one thing was actually changed, and that is that it received faster GDDR6 video memory instead of the GDDR5, which almost doubled the video memory performance, giving it 14 Gbps memory data rate over a 192-bit memory bus, which makes the memory bandwidth capable of doing 336 GB/s, instead of the 192 GB/s on GTX 1660.

So, what’s actually different from the GTX 1660 Super in comparison to its non-Super brother.

Although I’m sort of going in a reverse order, since one came before the other, as a follow up of my review of recently GTX 1650 Super series, feel free to check it out in the right top corner of this video, today I will be taking a closer look it’s next Super brother – the MSI GTX 1660 Super Gaming X.
