In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super KFA2 Elite White 6GB are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3-way SLI.
The GTX 1660 has a 615 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 660 Ti, but the GTX 660 Ti has 248 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 1660. As a result, the GTX 660 Ti exhibits a 172.8 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GTX 1660. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 1660 has a 615 MHz higher core clock speed but 24 fewer Render Output Units than the GTX 660 Ti. The lower ROP count doesn't matter, though, as altogether the GTX 1660 manages to provide 7.5 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GTX 1660 was released over three years more recently than the GTX 660 Ti, and so the GTX 1660 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GTX 660 Ti when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The GeForce GTX 1660 Super KFA2 Elite White 6GB and the GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3-way SLI have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.
The GTX 660 Ti has 96.6 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 1660, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 660 Ti is massively better than the GTX 1660.
The GeForce GTX 1660 Super KFA2 Elite White 6GB has 1408 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3-way SLI has 4032. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1660 is 2534 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 660 Ti is 3951. The GTX 660 Ti having 1417 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 660 Ti delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 1660.
The GTX 1660 transistor size technology is 16 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 660 Ti. This means that the GTX 1660 is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 660 Ti.
The GeForce GTX 1660 Super KFA2 Elite White 6GB requires 125 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3-way SLI requires 450 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the GTX 1660. The GTX 660 Ti requires 325 Watts more than the GTX 1660 to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 660 Ti may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 1660.

| Mini Review | Overview
The GeForce GTX 1660 Super KFA2 Elite White 6GB is an entry to mid-level Nvidia graphics card which is expected to launched at the end of October 2019. The GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6GB is designed to compete against AMD's more affordable gaming cards such as the RX 570 and the RX 580, and replaces the outgoing GTX 1060. Architecture The Turing GPU architecture aims for 30-50% as much performance as the previous-gen Pascal Architecture. GPU It equips a GPU codenamed Turing TU116, more specifically the TU116-300-A1, which has 22 SM activated and thus 1408 Shader Processing Units, 88 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1530 MHz and goes up to 1800 MHz with the Boost Clock. Memory The GPU accesses a 6GB frame buffer of fast GDDR6 through a 192-bit memory interface, while the memory clock Operates at 1750MHz, or 14GHz effective. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 125W, this graphics card requires one 8-pin power connector. Performance The GeForce GTX 1660 Super KFA2 Elite White 6GB will enable medium to high graphics performance on modern AAA 2018 released games. Although there will be variations on this frame rate we expect this card to deliver around 50+ FPS on High graphics settings at 1080p screen resolution. Comparatively, this card will have quite a bit faster performance than the GTX 1060. System Suggestions The GeForce GTX 1660 Super KFA2 Elite White 6GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 2560x1440, so our recommendation would be to use 1920x1080 in order to get the most out of your settings. We recommend a high-end processor such as the i5-8500 and 12GB of RAM for optimal performance. | GeForce GTX 660 Ti 3-way SLI is a solution of three GeForce GTX 660 Ti put together using NVIDIA'S SLI technology. Check the page of GeForce GTX 660 Ti to know more about its chip. As usual, SLI relies a lot on proper driver support and may suffer from micro-stuttering in lower frame rates (below 30). Benchmarks indicate the performance is overall, is up to X% better than a single GeForce GTX 660 Ti performing by itself but at times (depending whether or not the 3D game supports SLI or in the graphics driver) it performed worse than a single GeForce GTX 660 Ti. Expect this combination to draw up to 450 Watt though the average power consumption should be slightly lower. Even the most demanding games will run at the highest settings. | |||
