DirectX 12 is utilized in most cases if it's available, though I tested Borderlands 3 in DX11 mode, and Total War: Warhammer 2 in DX11 on Nvidia GPUs. Here, the GTX 1660 is a neat split between the GTX 1060 6GB/RX 590 and the GTX 1660 Ti. At least that’s what the Nvidia GTX 1660 Super graphics card seems to be telling us.

Whenever we ask for technical assistance in the office his stock response is "go stick your head in a pig." The first TW: Warhammer was a DX11 game was It's unfortunate because Creative Assembly themselves have acknowledged the CPU-bound nature of their games, and with re-use of game engines as spin-offs, DX12 optimization would have continued to provide benefits, especially if the future of graphics in RTS-type games will lean towards low-level APIs.There are now three benchmarks with varying graphics and processor loads; we've opted for the Battle benchmark, which appears to be the most graphics-bound.Rounding out our look at game performance is Total War: Warhammer II.Here, the GTX 1660 Ti lags behind the RTX 2060 and GTX 1070 FE more than in the other games, offering only somewhere around 80% of the RTX 2060 speed and 90% of the GTX 1070. This is the same question we're all asking ourselves. By continuing to use the site and/or by logging into your account, you agree to the Site’s updated as well due to the 36% perf gain quoted being inflated as hell. 2:12. The real question is if the increase in performance is worth the $150 or so it'll cost him to upgrade (assuming he nets ~$80 by selling the 970 for $100 on eBay. The fact that it’s been parachuted into the middle of the GTX 1660 family, making it hard to recommend either GPU around it, and highlights just how much the GDDR6 memory impacts on Turing’s performance, makes it a great case study for the architecture.But, quite aside from all that, it’s a great mainstream card, offering gaming performance often far beyond the competition and for a price that doesn’t make you wince. It’s going to be interesting to see how the new cards do tip up once they get a full launch in November, because AMD is going to have to make them either much cheaper than the GTX 1660 Super, or else definitively outperform it.But, for now, the RX 590 is still a decent gaming card, especially now it’s dropped well below the $200 mark, but the GTX 1660 does still outperform it and will likely join it down the price scale once the Super hits the shelves. Minimum FPS is calculated by summing all frametimes above the 97 percentile and dividing by the number of frames, so that it gives a reasonable representation of the lower end of the performance scale, rather than looking only at the single worst framerate from a benchmark run.Here are the gaming performance results for the EVGA GTX 1660 Super SC Ultra.Hopefully this comes as a surprise to no one, but the GTX 1660 Super ends up performing just a bit slower than the GTX 1660 Ti in pretty much every test I ran. Because even though the RX 570 looks like great value, personally I want something that can handle at least 1440p and high to ultra settings.I have to admit, when rumors started circulating several months back of a 'Super' refresh of the 1660 and 1650, I thought they were bunk. In both cases, that's because the DX11 solution performed better.Each card is tested at four settings: 1080p medium or equivalent, and 1080p/1440p/4k ultra unless otherwise noted. AMD has chosen to remind the tech press the day before the GTX 1660 Super launch exactly why it’s not releasing the AMD has been cagey about its mainstream Navi GPUs, and I’m sure it will was waiting to see how Nvidia would position any new GTX Turing cards before making any final announcement about the RX 5500 or RX 5500 XT. Basically, it's weird to have a lower tier card that's both better and worse than an existing higher tier card. Specifically, AMD recently launched the OEM version of the If you already have a GTX 1070, 1070 Ti, or 1080, you're not going to want to bother downgrading to the 1660 Super.The other interesting aspect about the GTX 16-series is the lack of hardware ray tracing features. The comparison with the GTX 1660 Ti isn’t quite so stark, with the new memory system only having around 17% extra bandwidth than the top card. I'm still not sold on Nvidia's Super branding though. 50.1 FPS GeForce GTX 1660 Ti … Overall, the 1660 Super is 3-5 percent slower than the 1660 Ti, and it's about 15-20 percent faster than the vanilla GTX 1660. With the 1660 Super price of $229, that's a big enough jump that the Super feels like a viable option.There's still the problem of the previous generation cards, as well as the existing 1660 cards. Unlike another company, which has been brute-forcing an architecture that is more than a decade old, and squandering their intellectual resources to design budget chips for consoles. Confused? not really a fan of that graph at the end. Please Not really sure this works as a 970 replacement. The more complex a scene the more needs to be stored in the memory of your graphics card, and the faster that memory is the quicker it can be pulled out and flashed up on your If you don’t have sufficient memory that will hold things up as system resources will need to be pulled from elsewhere to supplement your graphics card. That's a lie, he still thinks networking is some dark art that requires ritual sacrifices and dislikes most humans.
Dave has been personally and professionally breaking PC hardware since, oh, before you were born. And if the memory is slow you’re going to have to wait longer for it all to be pulled together and a frame to be displayed on your screen.That’s the horrifically simplified version of things, and there are more subtle nuances at play which can have an effect, but essentially that’s how come the GTX 1660 Super has been kitted out with quicker memory instead of a tweaked GPU, and can still deliver higher frame rates than the OG 1660.And it really does. Sure, a heavily overclocked 1660 Ti going up against a stock 1660 Super might show a larger gap, but a heavily overclocked 1660 Super should also come out slightly ahead of a 1660 Ti running reference clocks.The more pertinent question is why is Nvidia even releasing the 1660 Super? I call it the super robot!"
