Video cards of the EVGA SuperClocked line, usually, have the most basic equipment and belong to the middle class. In order to save money, EVGA engineers abandoned the complex RGB lighting system, designer casing and metal backplate, focus on minimizing the size and overclocking the operating frequencies of the video core.


In 2021, the core of the series is the GeForce GTX 16XX graphics cards, which serve the bulk of the market under $300, providing high FPS in games at 1080p resolution. For example, the early 2021 GeForce GTX 1660 Super is perhaps the best choice for PC gaming enthusiasts who plan to play at Full HD resolution using high quality settings. Unlike the regular GeForce GTX 1660, the version uses much faster GDDR6 memory. Ray tracing and DLSS supersampling, which are now fashionable, are disabled in them, since GPUs are too weak for real-time ray tracing. These tricks are the responsibility of the GeForce RTX 20XX models on the Turing core. EVGA releases similar variants under the FTW and XC flags.

In terms of clock speeds, variations from EVGA surpass NVIDIA specifications, however, it is not entirely correct to call them super-overclocked. For example, the reference GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER in a turbo boost accelerates to 1785 MHz, and the version from EVGA - up to 1815 MHz. For comparison, in many competing models from MSI, Gigabyte and Asus, the core frequency reaches 1830 – 1860 MHz. And this is without the Super Clocked prefix. In turn, models from EVGA almost always outperform them in PCB length. Thanks to this approach, cards from this series are usually bought by gamers who are looking for a compact and at the same time fast mid-range accelerator for comfortable gaming in Full HD resolution.
