Rumors: NVIDIA preps GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

Fresh rumors suggest NVIDIA, the Santa Clara-based company, is working on a new graphics card in the GTX 1600 series, adding the SUPER moniker.

The rumors originate from portal MyDrivers, which reports NVIDIA is developing a GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER graphics card. Up until now, the GeForce SUPER lineup has only included RTX cards, but it appears NVIDIA might extend it to the Turing-based GTX series.

The primary difference between the rumored GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER and its vanilla counterpart will be the adoption of GDDR6 memory, moving away from the GDDR5 typically found in budget-friendly products.

This memory upgrade likely won't be the only enhancement; we can expect improved clock frequencies for the GPU as well. However, the core silicon (the TU116-300 chip, packing 1408 CUDA cores, 80 TMUs, and 48 ROPs) and its fundamental configuration are expected to remain unchanged, at least according to MyDrivers' rumors.
