MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Super Gaming X 6GB GDDR6 Review
GeForce GTX 1660 Super and other card partners typically have several different SKUs of the same card. These range from reference models with branded stickers to high-end models with improved power delivery and custom cooling. The premium models typically offer some kind of improvement over the reference spec, be it performance, cooling, acoustics or all of the above. In that light, MSI’s GTX 1660 Super Gaming X card sits at the top of the stack for MSI's GTX 1660 Super options, but how does it rank among the best graphics cards in its class?
As with most mid-range and lower-end cards, Nvidia offered reference specifications but not an actual reference/Founder’s Edition card for the 1660 Super. So it's up to the board partners to do as they wish (within reason of course) with clocks speeds, power delivery and cooling solutions. With this Gaming X, power is delivered via a single 8-pin connector, and is full size (it's 9.7 inches long) but should fit into most builds.
The GeForce GTX 1660 Super based on the Turing architecture and uses the TU116 GPU found in the GTX 1660 and 1660 Ti. The GTX naming, as opposed to RTX, tells us there is no support for ray tracing. The TU116 die is manufactured using the 12nm FFN (FinFET Nvidia) process and made by TSMC. The GPU consists of 6.6 billion transistors with a die size of 284 mm squared. The GeForce GTX 1660 Super has 1,408 shaders, 88 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, which is trimmed down from the full version (1,536/96/48) found in the GTX 1660 Ti.
