The Geforce GTX 1660 Gaming X uses MSI’s improved Twin Frozr 7 thermal design which they say offers a 13% improvement in cooling over their previous generation. It’s also equipped with dual Torx 3.0 fans with specially curved blades said to accelerate airflow and increase the static pressure to push air through the heatsink. MSI GTX 1660 Gaming X Specificationsīelow we can see what GPUz says about the GPU with a shot showing the full boost while running 3DMark Time Spy. This is making the $200-$300 price range much more competitive. It’s still $50 more than the average AMD RX 580 price these days which has slipped below $200. Last but not least, pricing on this card will start at $249.99 which is well under the RTX 2060 at $349 and just $30 less than the GTX 1660 Ti Gaming X. This MSI version also has a slightly elevated TDP of 130 W compared to 120 W for the reference model. There are no plans for any 3 GB versions.
The base speed on the Gaming X is 2000 MHz which yields 192.1 GB/s bandwidth. As we can see, this sample from MSI has a base clock of 1530 MHz and a boost of 1860 MHz which is higher than the reference cards at 1500 MHz and 1770 MHz respectively.įor memory, we have 6 GB of Micron GDDR5 on a 192-bit bus. This sample from MSI has the “A” designation which Nvidia has binned and will allow for factory overclocks. The TU116-300 sports a total of 1408 CUDA Cores with 48 ROPs and 88 Texture units on the back end. We are able to see in the specifications table below the GTX 1660 uses the TU116-300. We have the MSI GTX 1660 Gaming X on the test bench, so let’s turn up the eye candy and see how the GTX 1660 handles itself! Specifications
The goal was to release an affordable, yet capable, GPU for the 1080p gaming crowd which according to Steam’s statistics is nearly two-thirds of modern gamers. They don’t have the Tensor cores or Ray Tracing but do include many of the new Turing features which were covered in our GTX 1660 Ti review. Nvidia answered with their GTX line of Turing based GPUs. After the initial Turing launch and pricing, many felt it was too steep of a price to pay for the new architecture. Today we have the second iteration of Nvidia’s pared down Turing Die, the GTX 1660.
