This is our 2d appearance on the new GTX 580 1660. Not to be harassed with the 1660 Ti that changed into released a month in advance, each GPUs provide amazing cost at mid-range costs of $220 for the GTX 1660 and $280 for the Ti version.

For those of you who neglected it, our day one evaluation of the GTX 1660 featured a dozen games, a lot of which were these days released titles and there the brand new GPU got here out looking like a champ. Today we're expanding the benchmark take a look at to a grand general of 33 video games to look the way it stacks up to the likes of AMD's RX 570 580 and 590.

While we don’t count on this elevated benchmark test to trade a whole lot, it must function a first rate buying guide for those tossing up among the GTX 1660 and possibly the 570 4GB: 580. The truth that the brand new GeForce GPU is some 30% faster in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey may not count number a great deal in case you predominantly play titles such as Strange Brigade, Battlefield V or Sniper Elite four, to quote a few examples.

To come up with a better concept of the way these two GPUs and greater examine a Box extensive variety of games, we put together this 33 recreation benchmark. The focus might be on 1080p, that's the maximum famous resolution for this form of GPU, however we've additionally examined at 1440p making the entire evaluation each bit as complete as you may want.

Our normal GPU test gadget became used, equipped with a Core i9-9900K clocked at 5 GHz with 32GB of DDR4-3200 memory. Drivers used include the AMD Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.2.Three for the Radeon GPUs and Game Ready 419.35 WHQL for the GeForce playing cards.

Benchmarks

The first check in brand new lineup is The Division 2. It's the first time we're featuring this ultra-modern identify in considered one of our benchmark capabilities. Rather than the usage of the canned benchmark we’ve recorded overall performance in-sport. We can look at that the GTX 1660 is ideal for 68 fps on average at 1080p the usage of the extremely quality preset.

That discern drops all the way down to just forty six fps at 1440p and at the same time as playable you’ll probable want to do a little tweaking here to enhance frame charges. As it stands the GTX 1660 become 15% quicker than the 1060 3GB, however 8% slower than the RX 590.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey is a bad name for AMD cards and here we see the GTX 1660 basically matching Vega sixty four. But don’t anticipate to peer that too often. The $220 GTX 1660 changed into simply 12% faster than the 3GB 6GB, but 28% speedier than the 4GB: 2018 590.

At 1440p we see a moderate shift within the effects. The 1660 maintained an affordable lead over the 1060 and RX 590/580 GPUs, however changed into seen slipping in the back of the Vega GPUs by means of a slender margin.

Next up we have Strange Brigade which is kind of the other of what we just saw. The GTX 1660 is only capable of match the RX 6GB at 1080p, making it pretty a piece slower than the Radeon opposition. Much the equal is seen at 1440p, with the GeForce 1660 walking in the back of the GraphicsUpdate 570, so manifestly not a incredible end result for Nvidia on this title.

The GTX 1660 is lower back on top for our Star Wars Battlefront II testing, sitting among the RX 590 and GTX 1070, with 85 fps on common it’s Box + class of its personal.

Then at 1440p we discover a comparable situation, wherein the 1660 turned into 17% quicker than the RX 590 and 22% faster than the 6GB GTX 1060. It turned into additionally 15% slower than the GTX 1070.

Moving on to Monster Hunter: World, the GTX 1660 is capable of match the RX 590. We see plenty the identical story at 1440p, and this means the GTX 1660 become 20% slower than the Ti version.

Warframe has the GTX 1660 supplying a small performance benefit over the GTX 1060 6GB as well as the RX 590. Every GPU examined in this identify become appropriate for over one hundred fps on common, so it seems like the win is shared among all GPUs for this one.

Things emerge as a little greater hard at 1440p, but however the GTX 1660 turned into properly for a 1% low of ninety fps with a median body rate of 109 fps. This made it 9% quicker than the antique Pascal-primarily based GTX 1060.

GTX 1660 vs. GTX 1660 Ti

Finally whilst evaluating face to face with the GTX 1660 Ti, the vanilla 1660 is 15% slower and that’s very a lot in keeping with the previous take a look at which noticed the non-Ti model are available in thirteen% slower. Of route, we additionally noticed instances in which the margin grew to twenty% or greater, and we noticed that in half of a dozen titles.

Cost consistent with Frame and Closing Thoughts

Perhaps one of the key findings from this evaluate compared to what we saw every week ago isn't always truely the variety of games tested, but due to the fact Nvidia in reality undercut the opposition, a week has been sufficient time for AMD to react and alter expenses, so our value consistent with body comparison has seen some changes as properly. On the upside, changes aren't dramatic, and GTX 1660 playing cards are certainly selling at the intended $220 MSRP already.

The RX 580 has dropped down from $200 to $one hundred ninety which isn't a large deal, however still makes the Radeon a possible alternative for some. Essentially you can save ~10% at the price of the portraits card to have 10% of the performance shaved off. The RX 590 has visible a heftier price reduce with numerous fashions now available at $220. This GPU is ultimately all the way down to the charge it have to have launched at. Given it’s a bit slower than the 1660 however charges about the equal, it’s not quite as proper in terms of fee.

The most effective clean cut winner for AMD right now's the RX 570, however that’s more or less 25% slower than the GTX 1660 in order that they aren’t exactly in the equal overall performance category. Meanwhile the RX 580 has long past from being the quality price sub $250 alternative, to a relatively hard promote.

Of direction, it’s exceptional to have a look at performance inside the video games you’ll be gambling. If you are primary playing DiRT 4 or Battlefield V, then the RX 590 is a better preference. Otherwise, as we simply noticed there are a ways greater games where the GTX 1660 gets the higher of the Radeon GPU.

For those of you planning on buying and keeping your photos card for 2-three years and haven't any concept how matters will look even simply 6-twelve months down the track, energy intake is worth keeping in thoughts. Not because we’re worried about the energy bill, but because a extra green pix card is a quieter snap shots card, and it’s also more pleasant to other additives for your case because it’s no longer dumping as a great deal heat on them.

The GTX 1660 driven our check device's intake to 262 watts. That’s a 12% saving compared to the RX 570 and almost 30% less than the RX 580 and 590. If we have been looking at strength consumption for the pix playing cards on my own those margins might growth substantially, making it clear Turing GPUs are tons better on this regard.

So in spite of some pricing modifications, our recommendation has now not been altered from the unique evaluate. The biggest trade has come from the sheer quantity of games examined. The GTX 1660’s lead over the RX 590 reduced in size, while the 590’s price additionally shrunk a bit. So the ones are extra frivolously matched now.

It was pretty shocking to see the GTX 1660’s lead over the GTX 1060 6GB shrivel up from 21% to just 14%. Regardless, the 1660 changed into in no way intended to be an improve alternative for GTX 1060 proprietors, however possibly it's far a reasonable buy for those going for walks older cards like the GTX 960, which we will probably explore quickly.
