Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Superchat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

A budget 1080p sweet spot matching used 1070 performance. Multiple commenters directly compare the 1660 Super to a used GTX 1070, saying it delivers the same performance, sometimes for less money. One buyer said it made them feel better about an already-purchased used 1070 since performance was equivalent. Others call it the sweet spot for their wallet, prioritizing price-to-performance over ray tracing or ultra settings, and expect it to last a few years before upgrading again.

Frustration over rapid refresh cycles and pricing decisions. Several users who bought a regular 1660 or 1660 Ti just before the Super's release express regret, noting the price difference was small. Others argue Nvidia should have simply dropped prices on existing cards rather than releasing a new SKU, calling the Super redundant next to the 1660 Ti. This refresh fatigue is a recurring frustration among commenters who feel burned by timing.

Value questioned against used cards and AMD competition. Commenters frequently suggest a used 1070 or 1070 Ti with 8GB VRAM is a better deal at similar price points, citing extra memory as an advantage in some games. Others point to AMD alternatives like the Vega 56 or upcoming 5500/5600 as stronger value below $500. Some also note the card struggles to hit 60fps at 1440p, limiting its appeal for higher-resolution gaming.
