**Comparison of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super and 1660 Ti**

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super and 1660 Ti are two high-performance graphics cards designed to offer improved performance and power efficiency compared to their predecessors. In this article, we will delve into the details of these cards, including their performance differences, power draw, and price.

**Performance Differences between GTX 1660 Super and 1660 Ti**

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super is a more affordable option than its counterpart, the 1660 Ti. Despite this, it was found to offer almost identical performance in most games, with an average difference of only 3% at 1080p resolution. This was observed in 15 different games, including The Witcher 3, Fortnite, and Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

However, when the resolution was increased to 1440p, the GTX 1660 Ti began to pull ahead of the Super, with an average difference of 3.7%. This suggests that the 1660 Ti offers a slightly better performance boost at higher resolutions.

**Benchmark Results**

The benchmarking results for both cards were quite impressive, with the GTX 1660 Super offering comparable performance to the 1660 Ti in most games. In CSGO, the Super was found to offer only a 1.1% improvement in average FPS compared to the 1660 Ti at 1080p resolution. However, at 1440p, the difference rose to 8%, with the Super struggling to keep up with the 1660 Ti.

Far Cry New Dawn was another game where the 1660 Ti offered a slight performance advantage over the Super, with an average difference of only 3.3% at 1080p resolution. However, when the resolution was increased to 1440p, the gap grew to 2.4%, with the Super still struggling to keep up.

**Power Draw**

One of the most significant differences between the two cards is their power draw. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super requires only 125W of power, while the 1660 Ti requires a whopping 230W of power. This represents an increase of 86% in power draw compared to the Super.

**Temperature**

Despite the difference in power draw, both cards were found to have relatively similar temperatures during testing. The GTX 1660 Super was only one degree hotter than the 1660 Ti at 1080p resolution.

**Price**

The price difference between the two cards is quite significant, with the 1660 Super typically priced around $249 and the 1660 Ti priced around $308. This represents an increase of $59 or 24% in price compared to the Super.

In Australia, the situation is even more pronounced, with the 1660 Super costing around $439 and the 1660 Ti costing a whopping $499 or 13.6% more.

**Conclusion**

Based on our testing, it appears that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super offers comparable performance to the 1660 Ti in most games, despite being slightly cheaper. However, at higher resolutions, the 1660 Ti begins to pull ahead of the Super.

In terms of power draw and price, the 1660 Ti is significantly more powerful and expensive than the Super. If you can find a good deal on the 1660 Super, it may be worth considering as an affordable option for gaming. However, if you're looking for the absolute best performance at higher resolutions, the 1660 Ti is the better choice.

**Final Thoughts**

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super and 1660 Ti are two cards that cater to different needs and budgets. The Super offers a more affordable option for those who prioritize power efficiency over raw performance, while the Ti provides the best possible gaming experience at higher resolutions.

As new graphics card options emerge, including AMD's Radeon RX 6500 XT, we will continue to test and compare them in this article series. Stay tuned for more in-depth reviews and comparisons of NVIDIA's latest offerings.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ennvidia now have a super version of the gtx 1660 but how does it compare to the 1660 TI and which should you get I've compared 15 games at 1080p and 1440p to show you the differences and help you decide let's take a look at how the 1660 super and 1660 Ti differ in terms of specs note did things like clock speed will vary between specific cards these are just the reference specs for each the oldest 1660 Ti has nine percent more CUDA cores however the super has slightly higher base and boost clocks the ti has more texture units and although both have six gig of GDD are six memory the new super versions is faster for the testing I'm using the MSI gaming expulsion of both the GTX 1660 super n gtx 1660 TI so results should be fairly comparable both of these do have a small out-of-the-box overclock expect slightly different results with different models the system that I'm testing with has an Intel i7 8700 case CPU overclocked to 5 gigahertz on all cores and an MS is at 390 ace motherboard along with 16 gig of ddr4 3200 seal 14 memory running in dual channel you can check links in the description for details on all of the components as well as for up-to-date pricing the same drivers and Windows updates were used for all testing so let's get into the results control was tested running through the start of the game with the same test pass completed each time although the 1660 cards are aimed at 1080p gaming I've also thrown in 1440p results too as some games are definitely capable with the high preset at 1080p the 1660 T I was just 2.7 percent faster in the 1660s super and 4.5% ahead of 1440p shadow of the Tomb Raider was tested with the game's built-in benchmark at 1080p the TI was 3.6 percent ahead of the super increasing to a 5.5 percent lead at 1440p Apex legends was tested with all graphical settings at maximum and at 1080p there was basically no difference between the two but then with the high of 1440p resolution there was a largest 7 percent improvement average frame rate with the 1660 TI adilyn 3 was tested with the games benchmark tool and this title was seeing an above-average increase to performance with the TI granted it's still a somewhat small difference with the 1660 TI just 5% ahead of both resolutions in average FPS battlefield 5 was tested in campaign mode with the highest ultra preset there wasn't much difference between the two with this game just a 2.6 percent boost at 1080p with the TI and 2.8% at 1440p assassin's creed Odyssey was tested with the built-in bench mark and I typically find this test to be more CPU dependent which probably explains why there's basically no difference between the super and Ti here I've tested fortnight with the new chapter 2 map and the replay feature was temporarily removed when I did this testing so I played through the same part of the game in each way for each test at 1080p the 1660s super saw the biggest improvement out of old games tested with a 7 point 8 percent improvement to average FPS though the 1440p difference was lower putting the TI just 3% ahead Ghost Recon breakpoint was tested using the built-in benchmark at very high settings and was another with minimal differences between the two the TI was just one point two percent faster at 1080p in average FPS doubling to a two point four percent improvement at 1440p granted this is only a one FPS change over which was tested playing in the practice range and this game saw the second largest improvement with the ti out of old games tested though it was only about 6% ahead of the Super pub G was tested using the replay feature with the exact same replay file used for each test no noticeable differences here at 1080p the results are basically within margin of error and then at 1440p the difference is still small with the 2.6 percent advantage to the TI in average FPS Rainbow six siege was tested with the built-in benchmark just looking at the results I want to say there's basically no major differences because as we've seen there's hardly any difference between the TI and super despite this the game was above average out of the titles tested with the ti coming out three percent ahead at 1080p and five percent ahead of 1440p The Witcher 3 was tested with ultra settings and like most other games hardly any real difference between the super and at 1080p the TI was just 2.5 percent ahead of the super rising ever so slightly to 2.6 percent higher at 1440p strange Brigade was tested as a Vulcan title using the built-in benchmark the differences in this game were below average with just a 2% improvement on the TI at both 1080p and 1440p resolutions I've tested csgo with the Aletta Kalev PS benchmark as I wanted to see how a game that typically favors CPU power would behave at 1080p there was a small 1.1 percent improvement to average FPS with the TI however a larger 8 percent rise to the 1 percent low was noted at 1440p the change to average FPS rose a little with the ti now 4% ahead of the super Far Cry new dawn was tested with the game's benchmark tool at 1080p that was just a 3.3 percent improvement with the ti lowering to a 2.4 percent higher average frame rate that 1440p in terms of overall improvement overall 15 games on average the gtx 1660 t I was performing about 3 percent better when compared against the GTX 1660 super in terms of average FPS as you can see the results can vary quite a bit between specific game however realistically there wasn't much practical difference between them when we step the resolution up to 1440p the difference only changes slightly on average the gtx 1660 TI is now 3.7 percent ahead of the gtx 1660 super on average so not too much of a change there with the high resolution I don't think either of these are a great choice for 1440p gaming though some games do run fine it'll come down to settings and what framerate you want to target as for the differences in total system power draw the system with the 1660 super was actually using 6 percent more power from the wall when under the same test I thought these were odd results so checked with Steve at Hardware unboxed and he had the super as using 5 percent more power in a different game I suggest checking out his video if you want to see more 1660 super results temperatures were quite close with the ti just one degree higher again in the same f1 20:19 test the results should be quite comparable as I used MSI's gaming expert of each with the same cooling design now for the final difference the price I suggest checking updated prices using the links in the description as prices will change over time the MSRP is meant to be 230 US dollars for the super and 280 for the Ti so $50 or 21% more money for the Ti the MSI gaming X super I'm using is meant to be 249 US dollars while a 16 60 TI gaming X currently goes for 308 dollars so 23 percent more money for the Ti in that case here in Australia MSI's 1660 super gaming X that I've tested is going for 439 Australian dollars while the same version bit 1660 TI is 499 Australian dollars or 13.6% more money in my opinion the new gtx 1660 supe is better value in my country you need to pay around 13 percent more money to go for the TI or apparently 20% more in the US and on average it's only offering 3% better performance at 1080p as we just saw in most games the results were very close which makes the 1660 super seem like a strange release why not just drop the price of the ti instead or something in the end the 1660 super is giving almost the same levels of performance you're just not going to practically notice a 3% or so performance difference so due to the cheaper price of the newest 1660 super it would be my pick between the two if I was buying today with that said though if you can find a 1660 ti on a good sale it could be worthwhile for the law power draw let me know which you'd pick and wide down in the comments gtx 1660 super or 1660 TI this specific comparison is of course only relative between these two cards I'll be doing more comparisons in the future once the 1650 super and AMD's new options come out so if you're new to the channel consider
