To date, the NVIDIA ‘SUPER’ designation was reserved for GTX 20 Series graphics cards. It seems that the company will finally extend this denomination to the GTX 16 Series. The company's simplest graphics with RT Cores and Tensor Cores will receive at least one version. During the last weeks there has been a lot of talk about a GTX 1660 SUPER, which has just been made official.
This new NVIDIA GTX 1660 SUPER graphics card will be the most powerful in the company's mid-range. There will be no reference model, the models customized by the manufacturers will be seen directly. Possibly they come with lower prices even to the model they arrive to replace and combat the AMD RX 5500.
NVIDIA GTX 1660 SUPER is confirmed
Zotac has been the first of the manufacturers to have these charts ready. The company will have two models, the simple model and an AMP model. This second model, with a better cooling system will have factory overclocking and therefore, better performance.
Another of the outstanding novelties of this graphic is that it will not arrive with GDDR5 memories, but will arrive with GDDR6 memories. The change of memories does not seem important, but it gives us extra performance. Obtaining more bandwidth improves the final performance of the graph.
The frequencies have not yet been confirmed, which will be revealed shortly before launch or when NVIDIA officially presents them. We see how this graphic has an 8-pin PCIe connector and completely lacks an NVLink port. On its performance, we must expect 10-15% more than the GTX 1660 with a fairly similar consumption.
We assume that in the coming days NVIDIA will reveal the launch date and Zotac the market launch price of its two models.
