About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q4 2019 with a MSRP of $229. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU116) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1660 SUPER has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 336 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The GTX 1660 SUPER includes 1,408 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,530 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,785 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 88 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GTX 1660 SUPER occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 125 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The GTX 1660 SUPER has the 106th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 21.01% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 21,980.5 score and $229 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 95.98. This is the 19th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the AMD Radeon R7 M440 GPU

The AMD Radeon R7 M440 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2016. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Meso) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R7 M440 has 4 GB of DDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 14.4 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The R7 M440 includes 320 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,021 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 20 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The R7 M440 has the 344th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.15% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
