I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I do not understand why the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super needs to exist. Yes, it’s a mildly more powerful version of the original GTX 1660, now boasting 6GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at a nippy 14 Gbps instead of 6GB of the slower GDDR5 type that ran at just 8 Gbps, and yes, Nvidia’s decision to keep it at the same price of £210 / $230 means you’re also getting marginally better performance for the same amount of money. That much I get.

But if the GTX 1660 Super was always on the cards down in the Nvidia graphics mines, then why bother releasing the original GTX 1660 at all? After all, it’s only been eight months since the GTX 1660 first came out (at which point it went straight into our best graphics card list, I might add), so to release a shinier, superfied version now feels a bit like a kick in the teeth. There is a vague silver lining for current GTX 1660 owners, however. While some games show a decent improvement with the GTX 1660 Super, others give you absolutely naff all. Here’s wot I think.
