In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6GB are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra.
The GTX 1660 has a 120 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 1650. This results in the GTX 1660 providing 55.6 GTexel/s better texturing performance. 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 120 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Render Output Units than the GTX 1650. This results in the GTX 1660 providing 28.3 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 1650 was released less than a year after the GTX 1660, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance 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 GTX 1660 has 2048 MB more video memory than the GTX 1650, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, overall, the GTX 1650 has superior memory performance.
The GTX 1650 has 256.3 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 1660, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 1650 is massively better than the GTX 1660.
The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra has 896 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6GB has 1408. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1650 is 1425 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 1660 is 2513. The GTX 1660 having 1088 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the GTX 1650 performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra requires 90 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6GB requires 120 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 400 Watts for the GTX 1650 and a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the GTX 1660. The GTX 1660 requires 30 Watts more than the GTX 1650 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the GTX 1660 to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the GTX 1650.

| Mini Review | Overview The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra is an Nvidia GeForce low-end graphics card which launched in April 2020. The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra is designed to compete against AMD's more affordable gaming cards such as the RX 550 and the RX 560, and replaces the outgoing GTX 1050. This is a daul-slot graphics card which connects to the rest of the system using a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Architecture The Turing Architecture aims for 30-50% as much performance as the previous-gen Pascal Architecture. GPU It equips a GPU Codenamed Turing T106, more specifically a TU106-125, which has 14 SM activated and thus 896 Shader Processing Units, 56 TMUs and 32 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1410 MHz and goes up to 1590 MHz with the Boost Clock. Memory The GPU accesses a 4GB frame buffer of fast GDDR6, through a 128-bit memory interface, while the memory clock operates at 2000 MHz (8GHz effective). Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 90W, it relies entirely on the PCI Slot for power, meaning no extra connectors are required. Performance The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra will enable low to mid-level graphics performance on modern AAA 2020 released games. Although there will be variations on this frame rate we expect this card to deliver around 50+ FPS on medium graphics settings at a 1080p screen resolution. Comparatively, this card has slightly faster performance than the GTX 1050 Ti. System Suggestions The GeForce GTX 1650 Ultra is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080, 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 i5-8400 and 8GB of RAM for optimal performance. | Overview
The GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6GB is a rumoured entry to mid-level Nvidia graphics card which is expected to launch in late 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 1785 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 120W, this graphics card requires one 8-pin power connector. Performance The GeForce GTX 1660 Super 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 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. | |||
