Leader of People's Preferences
When the GeForce GTX 1660 Super appeared in the spring of 2019, it filled its niche between the GTX 1660 and GTX 1660 Ti. Over time, it replaced these models, becoming an attractive option for those who considered the GeForce GTX 1060 and AMD Radeon RX580/590 as budget alternatives. Despite its advanced age, the GTX 1660 Super is still popular and remains one of the leading video cards among Steam users.
Quiet operation and compact size
The model from Gigabyte is equipped with a quiet, compact cooling system with copper heat pipes and an aluminium radiator. Efficient heat dissipation is provided by two low-profile axial fans with long-life bearings. This card is an excellent choice for building affordable gaming and feature-rich home PCs that don't require extreme performance. It is well suited for online games like Alex Legends and Fortnite, and also copes with gaming hits from 2019 to 2022, but is not suitable for the latest Alan Wake 2 and next-generation games on the Unreal Engine.
6 GB of video memory: a limitation in modern games
The main problem of the GTX 1660 SUPER GP in modern realities is its limited memory capacity of 6 GB. We mentioned earlier that many major studios are focusing on development for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X with 12 GB of video memory, as well as hardware decompression and SSD streaming technologies. Tests have shown that many modern games in 2022 - 2023 experience difficulties when reducing video memory from 8 to 6 GB: games such as Alan Wake 2 and Forza Horizon 5 lose performance even at medium graphics settings, and Resident Evil 4 Remake and Forspoken can even won't start or crash.
