Hello! I have two GTX 1660 graphics cards and need help to choose which would be good option for me (just general gaming).

1. EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 SC Ultra Gaming 6GB
2. MSI GTX 1660 SUPER VENTUS XS OC 6GB

I just see the differences in memory clock and bandwidth.. But I don't really know much about graphics card though.

the Super is a different GPU (it's a refresh of the normal 1660 and much closer to the 1660 Ti, which is a good chunk faster)

1660S is pretty much a 1660Ti, so 10 to 15 extra fps compared to normal 1660 (so it provides much better 1080p experience). If the price is equal grab the msi.

The MSI card has gddr6 which is a big jump from ddr5 so I also recommend the MSI card.

The MSI 1660 Super is roughly 10-15% faster, so factor in price and if the jump will be worth it to you.

Also depends on your CPU, in an older system the 1660S may not be worth it. Any quad core Ryzen or i5 newer than 4th gen would see a benefit from that 1660 Super.
