n October, Nvidia Super-fied its
GeForce GTX 16-series graphics cards,
with the mass-market upgrade following
in the footsteps of its beefier RTX Super
siblings (go.pcworld.com/spsb)—and
running defense against AMD’s impending
Radeon RX 5500 series. The GeForce GTX
1660 Super has launched (we’ve already
reviewed it), bolstered by some killer new
software features in GeForce Experience.Let’s start with the new hardware before
diving into the software improvements.
The $229 GeForce GTX 1660 Super
largely mirrors the specifications of the
spectacular original GTX 1660 (go.pcworld.
com/ev60): clock speeds, CUDA counts,
texture units, die size—the underlying
graphics processor remains identical in
the Super.
The key difference? Memory. NvidiaIMAGE: NVIDIA
