MSI GTX 1660 Super Gaming Review
 

Today Nvidia is unveiling additional “Super” cards extending the Super line into their GTX models. Available today is the GTX 1660 Super and the GTX 1650 Super will be launching on November 22nd. These new cards also introduce a new price point which is lower than their predecessors and we expect some price adjustments on those models as well.

The new GTX 1660 Super features the addition of GDDR6 memory with the same CUDA core count as the original GTX 1660. The GTX 1650 Super, on the other hand, gets a significant boost to the core count from 896 to 1280 CUDA cores and an upgrade to 4 GB of GDDR6 as well.

Nvidia has sent us MSI’s GTX 1660 Super Gaming for testing today. We’ll run through some of the new features Nvidia is introducing through their GeForce Game ready drivers and see how the “improved” GTX 1660 Super compares to its siblings.
Specifications

We are able to see in the specifications table below the GTX 1660 Super uses the TU116-300 core. This sample from MSI has the “A” designation which Nvidia has binned and will allow for factory overclocks. The TU116-300 in the 1660 Super sports a total of 1408 CUDA Cores with 48 ROPs and 88 Texture units on the back end which is identical to the regular GTX 1660. As we can see, this sample from MSI has a base clock of 1530 MHz and a boost of 1785 MHz with an observed boost of 1875-1935 MHz depending on the benchmark.

Nvidia has propped up the memory with 6 GB of Micron GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus compared to 6 GB of GDDR5 for the non-super. The memory speed on the 1660 Super Gaming is 1750 MHz which yields 336 GB/s bandwidth. The Super has a slightly elevated TDP of 125 W compared to 120 W for the GTX 1660 non-super model.
