NVIDIA didn’t exactly break new ground with the GTX 1660 SUPER launch – unless you call providing nearly a GTX 1660 Ti’s performance for only $10 above the starting price of the original GTX 1660 “new ground”. The GTX 1660 SUPER had identical specs to its non-super predecessor except for the memory, which moved up from 8 Gbps GDDR5 to 14 Gbps GDDR6.

The difference was not small, and the impressive performance of the GTX 1660 SUPER showed just how much that GDDR5 was holding back this TU116 GPU, and with the new 1650 SUPER we’ll see once again how higher specs affect performance. But performance itself isn’t enough when we’re talking about the competitive mainstream graphics segment, and pricing will be a key factor with this new card.
