9/21/2023 0 Comments Evga 1660 ti![]() ![]() If all you care about is performance, you won't really notice the difference between any of the GTX 1660 Ti models. There are plenty of GTX 1660 Ti cards selling at Nvidia's base $280 price, with GPU clocks ranging from 1770MHz up to 1830MHz. The card runs quiet and looks nice, though, and EVGA offers a good 3-year warranty (and a 90-day Step Up program should you experience buyer's remorse). If you're only using one display, you shouldn't have any problems, but I like getting at least two DisplayPort connectors on midrange and above cards these days. There's no Type-C VirtualLink connector, but that's because Nvidia only supports it on the RTX 20-series GPUs. You get one DVI-D, one HDMI, and one DisplayPort connector. ![]() EVGA's XC Ultra ends up as a solid offering, and it's not too large or too power hungry to fit into most builds.īesides the lack of bling-which can be either good or bad, depending on your personal view of such things-there are a few things to pay attention to, like the video ports. I recently wrote about how to choose the right graphics card model, which covers the important points to consider when picking the right model for your PC. To get the card up to 160W, I have to run a maximum overclock on the GPU.ĮVGA is a respected brand for Nvidia graphics cards, and the XC Ultra comes with a good factory overclock that you pay a bit extra for. For my testbed, over half of the power used ends up going to the CPU, motherboard, and other components. One final note regarding performance is that despite the 40W increase in TDP, power requirements are relatively close to the 120W spec of the reference GTX 1660 Ti. Conversely, if you already have something like a GTX 1070, obviously there's no reason to do a sideways migration, and likewise the upgrade from a previous generation 1060 or RX 580 isn't going to be as compelling-skipping a generation or two always gives a bigger jump in performance. If you're running a card that's older and/or slower than a GTX 970, the gains will be even greater. Looking at the GPU market as a whole, you can get a solid 60-75 percent average improvement in gaming performance if you're running a card like the GTX 970 or R9 390, and you'd be dropping power use and noise levels in the process. Dropping to high or medium quality may suffice, but there are also plenty of games where 1440p ultra at more than 60fps is easily done. 1440p meanwhile is a bit of a stretch, especially in the more demanding games. There are other games that will fall in that same category, but the majority should still easily break 60fps. The GTX 1660 Ti remains a good option for 1080p gaming, mostly at ultra quality though with a few exceptions-Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Metro Exodus are brutal in terms of system requirements. Overall, the 1660 Ti is basically tied with the GTX 1070, and the RTX 2060 and GTX 1070 Ti are about 10 percent faster. The reference clocked model ends up being 3-4 percent slower. It's also more expensive, so nothing too revolutionary there. Asus's model is slightly faster, thanks to its superior cooling and slightly higher boost clock. Not surprisingly, the two factory overclocked GTX 1660 Ti cards perform nearly the same. ![]() (I'm including the full set of 1080p/1440p ultra benchmarks, with summary charts for 1080p medium and 4k ultra.) I'm also going to limit results to "nearby" cards for this review, so RTX 2070/GTX 1080/RX Vega 64 at the top, down through the GTX 1060 and RX 570/580 cards at the bottom, with the GTX 970 and R9 390 showing how older hardware stacks up.Īnd with that out of the way, here are the results. I've tested the EVGA GTX 1660 Ti with Nvidia's newer 419.35 drivers, and retested a couple of games where performance looked a bit different compared to the pre-launch 418.91 drivers, but otherwise nothing has changed. I've also included a "reference" GTX 1660 Ti, running at 1770MHz boost clock, which is what you'll often find on the $280 base models. Since we're looking at the same GPU with only slightly different clockspeeds, the performance will be largely the same.
