Balanced and affordable mid-range gaming graphics card based on Nvidia TU116 GPU with advanced Turing microarchitecture and factory overclocked. Unlike its predecessor (Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 OC 6G), this model works with high-speed graphics memory of the new generation GDDR6. Due to the increased effective clock frequency (14000 MHz vs. 8000 MHz), the memory subsystem bandwidth has increased by 70%.
This upgrade increased the overall gaming performance of the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER OC 6G graphics card by 10-20% (compared to the GeForce GTX 1660). It is positioned as a model for completing inexpensive gaming and universal household PCs. When paired with a powerful multi-core CPU, it is a good choice for upgrading/upgrading existing gaming systems. In terms of integrated gaming performance, this graphics card confidently outperforms the popular mid-range video adapters of 2016-2019 (GTX 1060 6GB, AMD RX580/590). The user has the right to count on a consistently high frame rate in most popular game projects of 2015-2020 at a resolution of 1920x1080 at high or maximum graphics quality settings. Quiet and efficient dual-fan cooling system WindForce 2X deserves a mention.

Fast GDDR6 video memory
Over the past year and a half, the guys from NVIDIA have shown unprecedented fruitfulness by releasing more than a dozen video cards. The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER card, which became a hit in the middle price segment, at first looked like a complete analogue of the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, but the more affordable price and faster GDDR6 video memory played a decisive factor in its success.
Balance in everything
Gigabyte's GTX 1660 SUPER variant is a perfectly balanced solution for 1080p gaming with enough speed to keep the coveted 60 FPS in most modern AAA titles. Only a couple of very demanding games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Metro Exodus can make it drop to 40-45 FPS. The matter can be slightly corrected by overclocking: the test sample was overclocked by almost 9% by raising the core and memory frequencies, as well as increasing the voltage. Increased appetites became the price for overclocking, so if you plan to overclock it, then instead of the recommended 450 W power supply, count on 500 W. But the coolers did not seem to notice the increased load, operating at almost the same 70% power.
Hail thy name, Gigabyte
Summing up, I would like to praise Gigabyte, somehow imperceptibly they have become a company that produces the very best cards in terms of price and performance, not forgetting about reliability and additional goodies. This variation of the GTX 1660S has a moderately quiet and efficient cooling system, a high-quality element base, decently boosted frequencies right out of the box, and a large power reserve for overclocking experiments. Yes, its power consumption during overclocking is slightly higher than that of its competitors, but how can you not remember the saying about sleds?
