Nvidia GTX 1660 Super benchmark appears online

Rumour has it that Nvidia plans to release a new graphics card this month called the GTX 1660 Super, enhancing the performance of the company’s existing GTX 1660 with GDDR6 memory, enabling a 75% boost to memory performance. 

Now, Nvidia’s GTX 1660 Super has appeared on the Final Fantasy XV benchmarking database (via TUM_APISAK), showcasing performance numbers that are closer to Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti than Nvidia’s GTX 1660 (non-Super). This suggests that the GTX 1660’s performance was memory limited. 

What needs to be noted here is that data from the Final Fantasy XV benchmark isn’t that useful outside of comparing similar GPU models from the same manufacturer. Truth be told, this benchmark isn’t representative of the performance Final Fantasy XV’s PC version, making the benchmark effectively useless. 

This benchmark result stands as further confirmation that Nvidia’s GTX 1660 Super graphics card is approaching its retail release. Combine this with the GPU’s recent specification leak from Chinese manufacturer Maxsun (see the table below), and we can be pretty sure that Nvidia will release a GTX 1660 Super in the near future.
