NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Launching October 29th, $229 With GDDR6
NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER, the first non raytracing-capable Turing-based SUPER graphics card from the company, is set to drop on October 29th. Contrary to other SUPER releases though, the GTX 1660 SUPER won't feature a new GPU ship brought down from the upwards performance tier. This means it will make use of the same TU116-300 as the GTX 1660 with 1408 CUDA cores, not the 1536 CUDA count of the GTX 1660 Ti. Instead, NVIDIA has increased performance of this SUPER model by endowing it with GDDR6 memory.
The new GDDR6 memory ticks at 14 Gbps, which gives it an advantage over the GTX 1660 Ti model which will still cost more than it. When all is said and done, the GTX 1660 SUPER will feature memory bandwidth in the range of 336 GB/s, significantly more than the GTX 1660 Ti's 288 GB/s, and a huge differentiating factor from the 192 GB/s of the GTX 1660. Of course, the fewer CUDA core resources compared to the GTX 1660 Ti mean it should still deliver lower performance than that graphics card. This justifies its price-tag set at $229 - $20 higher than the GTX 1660, but $50 less than the GTX 1660 Ti.

The 1660 wasn't out that long now there's a ti and a super, seams like a great plan to confuse the ill informed to me and stupid, add or take away a 5 or something ffs, im in the know and it's easily confused which of the three is best and worse.
Also glad im not a 1660Ti owner , no ddr6 joy for them ,they get cheaper memory on their more expensive card?? Seams mentsl to me.
The 1660 has GDDR5 where as the Ti has GDDR6They are launching their cards on a set time table, this is a knee jerk from green.
Seems NVidia is just trying to get rid of some left over stock....
RX480 - RX580 - RX590
RX470 - RX570 - RX580 2048SP
RX460 - RX560 - RX 560D.
Same things with different clocks and/or CUs, but mostly only clocks.
8800 GT -> 9800 GT -> GTS 240 (OEM)
8800 GTS 512 -> 9800 GTX -> 9800 GTX+ -> GTS 150 (OEM) -> GTS 250
8800 GS -> 9600 GSO
Some of those were die shrinks, but a G92 is still a G92. But yeah, rebranding is a thing which will probably be with us forever.
I don't expect you to respond to this seriously, you seem akin to play the jester instead of seriously comprehending matters seriously.
I'm forced to buy this 1660s.
