The GTX 1660 SUPER - 1408 Turing CUDA cores pair up with 6GB of GDDR6 memory running at a 14Gbps transfer rate. More memory bandwidth is undeniably a good thing for GPU performance, and you can expect up to 20% higher performance from the GTX 1660 SUPER versus its forebear.



The high clock speeds and beefy cooling we’re delivering on the majority of our GTX 1660 SUPER cards bodes well for gamers hungry for more frames.

The GTX 1650 SUPER gives the GTX 1650 a major boost of its own. You’ll find more Turing CUDA cores than before—1280 versus 896—and 4GB of next-generation GDDR6 RAM running at 12Gbps for a big boost in memory bandwidth over the GTX 1650’s GDDR5. Those changes add up to as much as 50% higher performance from the GeForce GTX 1650, making the SUPER card a potent weapon for gamers upgrading their PCs to handle the latest AAA and high-refresh-rate titles on the market today.

To let the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER and GTX 1650 SUPER power up PCs of all shapes and sizes, we’ve built a broad range of new graphics cards across the ROG Strix, TUF Gaming, Dual, and Phoenix families.

Enthusiasts seeking the best gaming experience need look no further than the ROG Strix GTX 1660 SUPER and GTX 1650 SUPER. Dual GTX 1660 SUPER EVO cards fuse our latest Axial-tech fan design with a PCB that easily slots into mainstream builds. The TUF Gaming GTX 1660 SUPER comes in two-fan and three-fan variants to deliver the performance you want with rock-solid durability and subtle style, while TUF Gaming GTX 1650 SUPER cards rely on twin fans to deliver both effective cooling and maximum compatibility. Finally, our Phoenix GTX 1660 SUPER and GTX 1650 SUPER cards use a single fan to put Turing power into the smallest PCs around.

ROG Strix graphics cards are renowned for their potent blend of high performance, quiet operation, and optimal cooling capabilities, and we’ve fused that DNA with the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER and GTX 1650 SUPER to make these cards the continuing choice of champions.

Good cooling starts with good fans, and our latest Axial-tech spinners use small hubs, a smoothly swept and high-density blade design, and a special restrictor ring around the tips of the blades to direct air that would otherwise be laterally dispersed into the heatsink’s fin array. The DirectCU II heatsink itself features a pair of massive copper heat pipes that make direct contact with the GPU to transfer heat away from the chip and into dense arrays of fins.

Our engineers didn’t stop thinking about cooling at the graphics card itself. Motherboard fan control logic often relies on CPU temperature as the primary signal of system load, but the CPU is rarely the greatest source of heat in a PC while gaming. Because of this limitation, your case fans might be left running near idle while your graphics card sweats during a game.

To prevent this potentially sticky situation, the ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER and GTX 1650 SUPER include a single FanConnect II header on the front edge of their PCBs. This four-pin fan header lets you extend the graphics card’s onboard fan control logic to a case fan of your choosing. You can rest assured that when GPU temperatures rise, fresh air will always be available to the graphics card to maximize performance.

A dual-mode BIOS switch is the final jewel in the ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER’s cooling crown. This switch lets you choose between a Quiet Mode that offers a 0dB fan stop mode for silence at idle and a Performance Mode that keeps the air flowing at all times for the best cooling in hot climates or under heavy overclocks.

Of course, the ROG Strix incorporates the Republic of Gamers’ traditional angular styling cues and RGB LED accents to broadcast your allegiance to the world. We balance form and function by integrating a reinforcing frame into the card’s heatsink that mitigates unsightly GPU sag. An aluminum backplate provides both reinforcement and a canvas for us to display a prominent ROG logo. If you want to run in stealth mode, a dedicated button on the card turns out the lights.
