Igor over at Igor’s Lab has managed to confirm the GTX 1660 SUPER‘s clock rate as well as the memory standard it will be shipping with – allowing us to get a very good idea of how the theoretical performance of this upcoming NVIDIA GPU is going to stack up against the likes of the AMD RX 5500 XT. Since I don’t really like leaving someone hanging, here’s the overview: the NVIDIA GTX 1660 SUPER is going to beat the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT but not a possible RX 5600 XT (this card is only rumored at this point).

The problem, as many of our readers would remember, is that NVIDIA’s standard GTX 1660 variant supports only GDDR5. Considering AMD’s Radeon RX 5500 is launching soon with GDDR6 and clocked at roughly 1.7GHz, this would mean NVIDIA’s vanilla 1660 stands no chance against the RDNA powered competitor in red. The answer, it turns out, is to equip the card with GDDR6 memory as well. With memory clock rising to 14 Gbps from a mere 8 Gbps and a boost clock that is much higher than the succeeding GTX 1660 TI, the GTX 1660 SUPER offers 94 to 96% of the performance at a much lower price point.
