As was the case with Battlefield V, we see solid gains for the 1660 Super in Star Wars Battlefront II, here it was 9% faster than the base model.

For comparison, a Sapphire RX 5700 Pulse only measured 45 dB(A) in the same test conditions, and even an RX 5700 XT reference card only hit 57 dB(A). I was able to achieve a stable OC of +175MHz on the boost clock, and +250MHz on the memory clock, representing a boost of roughly 11 percent across the board. During that period, the card maxed out at 73 degrees C, off a resting idle temperature of 34 degrees C. The ASUS Dual GeForce® GTX 1660 SUPER™ EVO sets you up with a serious advantage for high definition AAA gaming.DrMOS offers high current circuits, low noise operation, and effective reduction of heat generating. For testing we used our usual GPU test machine sporting a Core i9-9900K clocked at 5 GHz with 16GB of DDR4-3400 memory. It still has the GPU core counts and clockspeeds of the vanilla GTX 1660, but now it gets GDDR6 memory—which was one of the primary differentiators between the 1660 and 1660 Ti. Pristine Design: The VENTUS dual-fan design stands out with its industrial elegance, crafted in neutral tones to complement any PC build. The GTX 1660 doesn't have RT cores, nor does the GTX 1660 Ti, so it only makes sense for the GTX 1660 Super to be limited here.

We weren't all that fond of the RTX 3050 when it launched, and compared to the other lower-end Nvidia Ampere cards, it's not one that we'd recommend. But, really, at the end of the day you can't expect a graphics card in this weight class to compete with graphics cards that cost twice as much.

We also carry out reliability trials that include a 144-hour stability test and a series of 3DMark benchmarking runs to ensure the card performs well when pushed to the limits.

Resident Evil 2 shows almost no performance uplift for the 1660 Super over the standard 1660, just a ~2% increase for the average frame rate. In testing Far Cry 5 both in and out of the overclock, I saw a performance boost of just over 9 percent in 1440p and 1080p testing, while the benchmarking tool 3DMark saw gains ever-so-slightly lower, at 8.Now, you can capture and share your most brilliant gaming experiences with super-resolution, 360-degree, HDR, and stereo photographs. A golden oldie, yet still super-popular around the globe, Counter Strike: Global Offensive has changed almost nothing about its core gameplay since 1999. I continue to use my standard GPU testbed from about two years ago, with a Core i7-8700K overclocked to 5. To match the value of the RX 590, the new GTX 1660 Super may need to deliver 1660 Ti-like performance.
