AMD today announced the Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card for the DIY (retail) channel, launched exclusively through its add-in board partners. Based on the 7 nm "Navi 14" silicon, the RX 5500 XT has the same exact core-configuration as the RX 5500 launched in October to OEMs. This means only 22 out of the 24 RDNA compute units are enabled, and the XT doesn't max the silicon out. These work out to 1,408 stream processors. Other vital specs include 88 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and a 128-bit wide GDDR6 memory interface. The RX 5500 XT will still end up faster than the RX 5500 OEM card from last month, since it has a higher engine "game clocks" of 1717 MHz, while the RX 5500 OEM ships with roughly 1670 MHz game clocks. Engine boost clocks for the RX 5500 XT are rated at up to 1845 MHz.

The Radeon RX 5500 XT comes in two variants based on memory size, 4 GB and 8 GB. Both variants use 14 Gbps GDDR6 memory chips across the chip's 128-bit wide memory bus. The 4 GB variant uses four commonly available 8 Gbit chips, while the 8 GB variant typically uses high-density 16 Gbit memory chips. AMD is pricing the Radeon RX 5500 XT at USD $169.99 for the 4 GB variant, and $199.99 for the 8 GB variant. It competes with a spectrum of NVIDIA cards including the GeForce GTX 1650 and GTX 1650 Super.

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER and GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER gaming cards were designed to bring the best cooling and the best overclocking to new performance levels and price points. Now the new GeForce GTX SUPER Series has ultra-fast GDDR6 memory, bringing you performance that's up to 50% faster than the original GTX 16 Series and up to 2X faster than previous-generation 10 Series GPUs. It's time to gear up and get SUPER.

GeForce GTX SUPER Series graphics cards are powered by the NVIDIA Turing GPU architecture. Turing shaders enable awesome performance increases on today's games. Get 1.4X power efficiency over the previous generation for a faster, cooler, and quieter gaming experience.

INNO3D, a leading manufacturer of pioneering high-end multimedia components and various innovations is excited to announce the new INNO3D GeForce GTX 1660 and 1650 SUPER. Continuing with the success of the RTX 2060 Twin X2 and RTX 2060 SUPER Twin X2 OC, our engineers decided it was only logical to launch the new GTX 16 SUPER series with the same excellent performing coolers while also adding the fan favourite Compact version to the 16 SUPER series. However, our engineers went one step further this time and developed the Twin X2 OC RGB! Read on…

Remember the efficiently designed cooler with two large 9 cm fans? Now picture that with a display of RGB lighting up the fins of the cooler complimenting your proudly built PC rig. The cooler not only looks great, it is super effective in cooling and means business as it delivers excellent performance for today's most popular games. The dual 9 cm fan has the best balance of noise and cooling performance for its size. The cooling system comprise of 3 heatpipes with aluminium extrusion and a large heatsink to disperse heat quickly and efficiently.

Colorful Technology Company Limited, professional manufacturer of graphics cards, motherboards, high-performance storage solutions and gaming PCs is proud to introduce the latest graphics card for upgraders and mainstream gamers with the announcement of the latest COLORFUL graphics card powered by NVIDIA GTX 16 SUPER Series.

The new COLORFUL iGame GTX 1660 SUPER Series offers an excellent upgrade for gamers using older-generation graphics card and are looking to upgrade their gaming experience with the latest NVIDIA Turing architecture powering the GeForce GTX 16 series graphics cards from COLORFUL. Experience excellent gaming performance on popular games with COLORFUL GTX 16 SUPER Series featuring ultra-fast GDDR6 memory and enjoy the latest technical innovations from NVIDIA to compliment your gameplay with GameReady drivers and GeForce Experience as well as improved performance in Creators-compatible apps that leverage dedicated GPU performance to accelerate content creation as well as acceleration for streaming software.

ZOTAC Technology, a global manufacturer of innovation, is pleased to expand the GeForce GTX line of graphics cards with the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX SUPER series featuring GDDR6 ultra-fast memory. Powered by the new NVIDIA Turing GPU architecture, the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER series feature two super compact VR ready models and is up to 20% faster than the original GTX 1660 and up to 1.5X faster than the previous-generation GTX 1060 6 GB.

The ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER AMP is factory overclocked out of the box for faster performance. Featuring a full body length aluminium array heatsink, dual 90 mm fans, a dynamic layout of copper heatpipes, and a powerful design in color neutral to match any PC system color scheme. At just up to 8.3 inches or 209.6 mm, it is still a super compact design.

It turns out that the GeForce GTX 1660 Super will be joined by another "Super" SKU by NVIDIA, the GeForce GTX 1650 Super, according to a VideoCardz report. Slated for a November 22 launch, the GTX 1650 Super appears to be NVIDIA's response to the Radeon RX 5500, which is being extensively compared to the current GTX 1650 in AMD's marketing material. While the core-configuration of the GTX 1650 Super is unknown, NVIDIA is giving it 4 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit wide memory interface, with a data-rate of 12 Gbps, working out to 192 GB/s of memory bandwidth. In comparison, the GTX 1650 uses 8 Gbps GDDR5 and achieves 128 GB/s memory bandwidth.

It remains to be seen just how much the improved memory subsystem helps the GTX 1650 Super catch up to the RX 5500, given that a maxed out TU117 silicon only has 128 more CUDA cores on offer, and AMD is claiming a 37% performance lead over the current GTX 1650 for its RX 5500. One possible way it can create the GTX 1650 Super is by tapping into the larger "TU116" silicon with 1/3rd of its memory interface disabled, and fewer CUDA cores than the GTX 1660. We'll know more in the run up to November 22.
