The Official NVIDIA GeForce GTX SUPER Tech Briefing

A few months after launching the RTX SUPER family of graphics cards, NVIDIA has finally unleashed the GTX SUPER series!

GeForce Product Manager Justin Walker briefed us on both cards in an exclusive pre-launch briefing, which we prepared for you here, including a short Q&A session :

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX SUPER Cards

NVIDIA announced two models, both using the same NVIDIA TU116-300 GPU, which powers the GTX 1660.

They promise to offer a significant performance boost over existing Turing-based GTX cards, with these changes :

GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER : 75% faster GDDR6 memory
GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER : 16 more CUDA cores, higher clock speeds, and 50% faster GDDR6 memory

Here is how they compare against the existing Turing-based GTX cards :

From what NVIDIA has revealed, we believe the GTX 1660S will replace the GTX 1660.

The GTX 1650S, on the other hand, will slide in above the existing GTX 1650 as the GTX 1650 Ti that some suggested would be released this month.

How Fast Are The GTX SUPER Cards?

Both GTX SUPER cards are targeted at 1080p gaming, with the GTX 1660 SUPER targeted at those who want all the bells and whistles turned on.

Here is a quick and dirty performance comparison provided by NVIDIA, showing the GTX 1660 SUPER delivering up to 50% better performance than the Pascal-based GTX 1060.

The GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER offers an even bigger boost in performance for esports gamers – up to 2X better than the GTX 1050.

NVIDIA GTX SUPER Price + Availability

Both GeForce GTX SUPER cards will only be available from NVIDIA board partners. There will be NO Founders Edition for either cards.

The 1660 SUPER has a starting price of US$229, and is available starting 29 October 2019 from NVIDIA board partners.

Increased TDP For Both

The 1660 SUPER is essentially the GTX 1660 with much faster GDDR6 memory. So, it only incurs a small 5 watt increase in its TDP, from 120 watts to 125 watts.

The 1650 SUPER, on the other hand, uses a larger GPU with higher clock speeds. This increases its TDP by 33% over the GTX 1650, from 75 watts to 100 watts.
