Nvidia geforce gtx 1660 ti 6gb gddr611/23/2023 That's fine with me, though, since anyone looking for such features would usually be better off spending more money and grabbing a GTX 1660 Ti or RTX 2060. There are no RGB LEDs, or any lights for that matter, no dual VBIOS chips, or really any other higher end features. ![]() If you have an older monitor that requires a DVI-D connection, you'll have to bring your own adapter to the party. (That's per Nvidia's specs, incidentally, probably to err on the side of caution: a single 6-pin PEG connector plus an x16 PCIe slot should provide up to 120W, but by using an 8-pin connection Nvidia can ensure cards don't exceed the PCIe slot's power capacity.)įor video outputs, Zotac provides one HDMI 2.0b port along with three DisplayPort 1.4 ports, and it can run all four outputs simultaneously. Like nearly all modern graphics cards, it's a dual-slot design, and while it's technically not required, the card uses a single 8-pin PEG power connector. Despite the two fans, it's basically a mini-sized card that can easily fit in smaller cases, measuring just 173mm (6.83 inches) in length. The Zotac Gaming GTX 1660 is nothing fancy, though it does have dual fans for cooling. Nvidia should see much bigger gains when it eventually moves to TSMC's 7nm node, but we'll have to wait a while before that happens. I've said it before, but TSMC's 12nm in practice doesn't appear to be much more than a refinement of its 16nm tech-what Intel would have called 16nm+. ![]() Transistor counts increased from 4.4 billion to 6.6 billion, and die size also went up from 200mm^2 to 284mm^2. Perhaps more interesting is when you look at the GPU and compare it with the GP106 used in the GTX 1060. The GPU at the heart of the GTX 1660 is the same TU116 as in the 1660 Ti, only with two of the SMs disabled, which in turn disables 128 CUDA cores and 8 texture units. If you're using such a card, the 1660 is a great upgrade, while anyone with a GTX 970 or better will probably want to wait a bit longer (or go with a faster and more expensive GPU like the GeForce RTX 2060). That's why I generally recommend trying to skip a generation or two of hardware between upgrades, especially for budget and mainstream gamers, which means the GTX 1660 is better positioned as a replacement for an old GTX 960 or earlier GPU. The GTX 1660 will be faster than the GTX 1060 6GB-it has some architectural enhancements, higher clockspeeds, and more shader cores-but it's not going to be a massive upgrade. ![]() Getting more performance at a lower price is great, but with graphics cards there's always a problem of competing with the previous generation.
