MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Super Gaming X and Ventus XS Pictured
MSI is ready with its premium Gaming X and affordable Ventus XS custom board designs for NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce GTX 1660 Super GPU. These boards are largely identical to the GTX 1660 Ti down to the PCB design, as the GTX 1660 Super is essentially a GTX 1660 with GDDR6 memory instead of GDDR5, yet positioned a notch below the GTX 1660 Ti owing to fewer CUDA cores (1,408 vs. 1,536).
The MSI GTX 1660 Super Gaming X retains its brushed metal finish, RGB LED embellishments, and premium appeal of the GTX 1660 Ti Gaming X. The Ventus XS, too retains its compact dimensions. This time around, though, MSI gave the plastic back-plate a faux brushed-aluminium finish. The Ventus XS comes in a standard variant that sticks to NVIDIA-reference clock-speeds, and an OC Edition with a mild factory-overclock. The Gaming X has the highest factory-overclock from MSI for this SKU.

I play games at 1080p/60 Hz and it easily handle any game I throw at it on Ultra settings.
And, that's how things usually play out. One generation's x70 becomes the next generation's x60.
My MSI 1660 Ti Armor OC has GDDR6 RAM.The 1660 Super should fall between the 1660 and 1660 Ti, performance wise.
I still think it will perform really close to the 1660Ti, probably replacing both older models.
