Gtx 1660 super aims to outperform the future rx 5500 xt

The clock speed of the GTX 1660 SUPER seems to have been confirmed, as well as the memory standard, which allows us to get an idea of ​​the theoretical performance that this Nvidia graphics card will have, which will compete against the AMD RX 5500 XT.

Nvidia's GTX 1660 SUPER will have a clock speed of 1785 MHz and will feature GDDR6

With the data they know at the moment, the GTX 1660 SUPER is going to outperform the Radeon RX 5500 XT, but would lag behind an RX 5600 XT.

Nvidia has made some decisions regarding its GTX 1660, to provide it with enough power to compete with the RX 5500 XT. First, we chose to replace GDDR5 memory with a faster GDDR6. Considering that the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT will be released soon with GDDR6 and a clock speed of 1.7 GHz, this would mean that the 1660 'vanilla' has no chance of competing against the RDD variant of AMD.

With a memory clock that goes from 8 Gbps to 14 Gbp s and a turbo clock that is much higher than that of the GTX 1660 Ti, the GTX 1660 SUPER offers between 94 and 96% performance at a much lower price..

GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER would use the TU116-300 chip, just like the GTX 1660 'vanilla'. In this way the 1408 CUDA cores, 80 TMUs and 48 ROPs would remain intact, so the difference will be made by the new memory and the higher clock speeds.

The GTX 1660 SUPER is estimated to be 2.8% faster than the RX 5500 XT and 4.3% slower than the GTX 1660 Ti. Its price would be around $ 200 to $ 270. We will keep you informed.
