Community Feedback

What Owners Say

Folks love how it runs modern games at solid settings without breaking the bank. The main beef is the six gigs of VRAM already feels tight in newer titles.

Pros
  • Great for 1080p high refresh gaming
  • Fits easily in smaller PC cases
  • Runs cool with a single fan
  • Solid 1080p ray tracing performance
Cons
  • No ray tracing support
  • No DLSS upscaling feature
  • Lacks modern video encoder

Verdict

Our verdict on the GTX 1660 Super

A midrange Turing card that fixed the 1660's memory bottleneck with faster GDDR6, making it the price-to-performance champion of its generation.

Get it if you want a decent 1080p card on a tight budget and don't care about ray tracing. Skip it if you need modern features like DLSS or plan to play demanding newer games.

Buy it if…

  • You need 1080p gaming with high settings and no ray tracing.
  • You’re building a budget PC and want solid frame rates.
  • You want a reliable upgrade from an older GTX card.
