EVGA GTX 1660 Super Review & NVIDIA's Confusing Lineup

NVIDIA's GTX 1660 Super is up for benchmark and review today, and we're testing it most vs. the 1660, 1660 Ti, RX 580 & 590, RX 5700, and other cards.

Article will go live later. Keep an eye on twitter for that.

The NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super will be joining the GTX 1660 and 1660 Ti, both of which will continue to exist in the video card lineup. AMD's most direct competition would primarily include the lower-priced RX 580 (or RX 590, but same thing sans overclocking deltas) and the higher-priced RX 5700. NVIDIA's 1660 Ti will remain more expensive than the GTX 1660 Super, which should start at $230, and the GTX 1660 non-Super, non-Ti will end up around $200-$210. Now, it seems, NVIDIA will have a card nearly every $20, which is actually certifiably insane. The 1660 Super does have a place, it's just that it takes some effort to define where all the cards land now.

The higher-end is still embattled between the RX 5700 XT and 2070 Super, with the top-tier cards largely left to the 2080 Ti. AMD is expected to release more RX 5000-series Navi GPUs at some point, likely competing with the 1660 Super directly, but we don't yet know a firm date on launch.

In our benchmarks today, we're looking at power consumption, gaming performance, and comparative performance versus some other popular graphics cards, including older devices like the GTX 960, RX 570, GTX 1060, and more to help determine if it's "worth it."

Keeping my hard earned cash for the 1660 ti super duper.

Ok

This is why you use protection or you get a family of 12

[nealtrussell]

NVIDIA is giving us choice at 5MHz intervals... great...

How many bags of money did Thermal Grizzly give you shills for the background product placement? Lot of Gamers Nexus merch laying around too, how much is Steve paying you, Steve?

[cmdr_thrudd]

I miss the old days when you'd get like 4 SKU's per life cycle. A cheap one, an average one, an enthusiast one and an overpriced one :D

"Oh here have 50 gigatons of useless silicon with a couple of cards worth buying."


ok.

Steve's Nvidia performance table is going to look like his case performance table by spring.

Looking back at this, we were angry that NVidia had too many GPUs, now... the whole thing is on fire.

[Adrian-jjxk]

at least they're all getting different names this time around, as opposed to (how many? 5?) different cards all named "gtx 1060"

[dragontales]

I'm so glad to even have this card. 1660 Super owners should be hugging their GPU in times like these lol.

[beefrogers]

im pretty sure the SC in EVGA GTX 1660 Super SC Ultra stands for *Super* Clocked sooo.... it`s an EVGA GTX 1660 Super *Super* Clocked Ultra.
nice.

[MrMiddleWick]

I find it funny how Steve stutters as his mind needs to take a while to make sure he's referencing the right card, although can't blame him

[innnffxxi]

NVidia learned how to rename existing products without being blamed: append "Super"

[JustKL]

15:07 the moment of Overclocking...
Vega 56 Stock 109 fps in 1080p and vega 56 UV + OC - 129 fps
in 1440p stock 84 fps, UV+OC - 100 Wow. That is awesome!

Webster’s Super: above, beyond

Nvidia’s Super: Rebrand

[optiquest]

Is it possible to add a hyphen between the card name and its state of being stock/OC? The charts are getting to be cluttered enough that it's becoming harder to quickly parse everything without pausing on every screen.

Eg.
EVGA GTX 1660 Super - Stock
EVGA GTX 1660 Super - OC +150/700

[Razor]

I can't wait for Intel to release a consumer gaming GPU, this price gouging is just insane.

[mr.bitsbyte]

19:20 better watch out Steve, your arm is covering the branding on the 1080 Ti and Titan boxes... big green wont be happy about that

[WolfySnowy]

Why is everyone forgetting the most important of them all? GT 1030!
