Asus TUF GeForce GTX 1660 Super Gaming 6GB GDDR6 Graphics Card

The Asus TUF GeForce GTX 1660 Super stacks an arsenal of weapons that bring reliable 3D horsepower to the TUF Gaming ecosystem. Each card is built using Auto-Extreme manufacturing, protected by a rigid backplate that prevents PCB flex, and features fans with a space-grade lubricant that is sealed to IP5X standards. And it's all backed by a rigorous battery of validation tests to ensure compatibility with the latest TUF components.If you're looking for the tank of graphics cards, lock and load your rig with the TUF. Infused with a durable lubricant often found in aerospace applications, these sleeve bearings deliver a quieter acoustic profile than dual ball bearing designs and match their durability. Copper heat pipes make direct contact with the die for improved thermal transfer. Dust is enemy number one for fans. It's easy to clean the blades, but taking the fan apart to remove dust that has made its way inside is not a simple task. Passing the IP5X certification means the housing is safe from nasty particulates, so you'll never need that deep clean. Auto-Extreme Technology is an automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass.Asus TUF GeForce GTX 1660 Super reduces thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption, and a more reliable product overall. The PCB is reinforced by a backplate that adds structural rigidity, helping to prevent flex and protect components and trace pathways from damage.Asus TUF GeForce GTX 1660 Super Tweak II utility takes graphics card tuning to the next level. It allows you to tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customizable on-screen display. Advanced fan control is also included along with many more features to help you get the most out of your graphics card.

Asus TUF GeForce GTX 1660 Super Gaming 6GB GDDR6 Review

While the GTX 1660 provides great value when it comes to its price to performance ratio, the emergence of the new Super version is I think an overall better option thanks to its newer and faster GDDR6 memory. And if you’re just starting out to build your own PC, this is a very good option to consider since it sits between the 1660 and 1660 Ti when it comes to raw performance while maintaining a balance in terms of price. However, if you’re like me who still has a 1070 kicking its feet pushing pixels for 1080p and 1440p gaming, then you might consider checking out this review as the results are quite interesting.So last week, I did a quick unboxing of the ASUS TUF 1660 Super with a very interesting packaging and now, I’m ready to give you guys my full review. We’ll take a look at its performance, thermals and of course sound levels. We’ll also put this head to head against the current graphics card that I use which is the Zotac 1070 mini. With that said, let’s get into it.Now, before we proceed with the benchmarks, let’s just take a quick look at the key features and specifications of the ASUS TUF 1660 Super graphics card so that you can have an idea what you should look into aside from the raw performance if you’re planning to get this card.First of course since this is part of the TUF Gaming lineup, it is built like a tank and has features that make it more durable than usual.Asus TUF GeForce GTX 1660 Super features space-grade lubricant on the fans which should allow it to last a little bit longer than usual,And it also features IP5X dust resistance to go along with that.Aside from that, it also features the patented DirectCU III copper heat pipe design.Asus TUF GeForce GTX 1660 Super graphics card was also manufactured using the auto extreme technology which is more efficient and makes the card more reliable than other manufacturing processes, at least in theory basing on what we are seeing here.Asus TUF GeForce GTX 1660 Super also features a massive backplate which helps with the overall rigidity of the graphics card since it is also pretty huge, so additional support and protection to the circuit board is always appreciated.Aside from the hardware, we also have on the software side of things the GPU Tweak II where you can take advantage of the auto overclocking, later I’ll show you guys if there’s a significant improvement using that compared to just the out of the box performance.
