![]() MSI is pricing this card at $260, a $30 premium over the $230 MSRP for this SKU. Thanks to a factory overclock to 1830 MHz rated boost (up from NVIDIA's 1785 MHz reference), the card should provide some additional performance out of the box. ![]() The card ships with the Twin Frozr VII cooling solution, which combines a dense aluminium fin-stack heatsink with a pair of fans that turn off when the GPU is idling, and a metal backplate. But the recently released RX 5600 XT is a better option for most people, performing significantly better for just 10. In this review, we take a close look at the MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Gaming X, the company's most premium product based on this GPU. MSI’s GTX 1660 Super Gaming X is a capable 1080p and 1440p performer. The GTX 1660 also receives other architectural improvements, such as "Turing" CUDA cores, which offer concurrent integer and floating point execution, adaptive shading, and a unified cache. DirectX Raytracing through software is available on all Turing cards, including the GeForce GTX 16, but at lower performance than what the "RTX" cards offer. NVIDIA RTX hardware isn't available in this segment as the GPU would be too slow for real-time ray-tracing due to its size. The GeForce GTX 16-series exists to cater to the bulk of the sub-$300 market with solid FPS rates for games at 1080p, including the e-sports crowd. With it, NVIDIA hopes to shore up performance by up to 20 percent without touching the CUDA core count and stepping on the toes of the GTX 1660 Ti. The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER gets 6 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 14 Gbps, which is faster than even the 12 Gbps GDDR6 memory found on the GTX 1660 Ti and on par with that of the much pricier RTX 2060 in terms of memory bandwidth-336 GB/s, a massive 75 percent increase over the GTX 1660. The SUPER-charging of this SKU begins with its memory subsystem. The GPU clock speeds are unchanged, too, with 1530 MHz core and 1785 MHz GPU Boost. The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER has the same exact CUDA core count as the GTX 1660, at 1,408, and is based on the same 12 nm "TU116" silicon.
