This provides a look at performance in recent releases as well as some popular but slightly older games, with the oldest game on the list right now being Total War: Warhammer 2 from late 2017. It allows you to tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customizable on-screen display.

Featuring concurrent execution of floating point integer operations, adaptive shading, and a unified memory architecture with twice the cache of its predecessor. Powered by the award-winning NVIDIA Turing™ architecture and ultra-fast GDDR6 memory, it’s a supercharger for today’s most popular games. We'll be using reference-card specs in the case of each of the GTX 1660 Super's comparison cards, and the specs for the Zotac card we're testing.To set a baseline for how the GTX 1660 Super gains its "super" status, I've charted out how the base specs for the non-Super GPU stack up side-by-side against the Zotac version of the Super. I questioned the lack of 14Gbps GDDR6 on the 1660 Ti when it came out, and assumed it was mostly because it wasn't really necessary, but it would have made a lot more sense to equip that card with faster VRAM and then have the 1660 Super use 12Gbps. Nvidia has upgraded the 8 Gb/s GDDR5 memory of the standard 1660 to 14 Gb/s GDDR6 memory and this sees a massive 75% increase in memory bandwidth. Just to be sure, I launched the game into the single-player campaign, where things ran fine enough (eyeballing it, I'd say I achieved an average of somewhere between 70 and 80 frames per second in 1080p), so I'd imagine whatever kink is throwing off the benchmark run in particular will get straightened out with future driver releases. If you're on the market for the best graphics card for 1080p gaming, you're going to want the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super.

This is Futuremark's DirectX 12-enabled benchmark for predicting the performance of DirectX 12-enabled games.Previously at PCMag, I was a hardware analyst benchmarking and reviewing consumer gadgets and PC hardware such as desktop processors, GPUs, monitors, and internal storage. Each card is tested at four settings: 1080p medium or equivalent, and 1080p/1440p/4k ultra unless otherwise noted. Powered by the same supercharged NVIDIA Turing architecture used in the RTX series and combined with a thoroughbred GeForce GTX pedigree. The current generation mid-range end up competing against the previous generation mid-range and high-end GPUs, and usually they're not able to surpass the latter.
