What is the best budget graphics card

'What is the best budget graphics card? So in this sort of $150 to $200 range, in my opinion, is often where a lot of the value is. Sure, the awesome RTX and Radeon VII graphics cards of the world are cool, but not everyone wants to spend$700 to $1,000 on a brand new GPU, which begs the question, if you are trying to get something that is reasonable, that is aimed at 1080p gaming, which of these cards makes the most sense? Starting out with, we have the GeForce GTX 1650 at $150. This guy is a baby brother to those bigger RTX cards in pretty much every aspect. Sure, the performance is lower, but it is based on that same Turing architecture just minus the RTX stuff. With a 75-watt TDP, it does mean that you can easily sort of plug this into pretty much any kind of prebuilt or whatever because it does not need any kind of external power. Next up we have the AMD option, which is the 

AMD RX 570

RX 570. Now it's hard to believe that even though this is the cheapest card here at $130, it is also really, really old at this point. The RX 570 originally came out two years ago, and the underlying Polaris GPU is almost three years old. And yet don t let that fool you. With the price cuts that this has recently seen, especially over the last year or so, it actually should be fairly competitive still. Spend a little bit more and you can pick up the Radeon RX 580. Now again, it is an older GPU, although this Strix card does have a lot of advantages including not only does it have a full eight gigs of RAM, more than any of these other cards, it has a much, much beefier heat sink. Last but certainly not least we have the GTX 1660. Now at $220, NVIDIA has positioned this as the ultimate 1080p card. And with six gigs of RAM, it does, at least on paper, seem to be more powerful than anything here. But my real question is with the budget between $140and $220, what is the best bang for your buck? So to test, we have a fairly high-end system. So this is the streaming PC that we built little over a year ago, and inside it does have a stock speed but still very powerful Ryzen 7 2700Xpaired with 16 gigs of memory, fast SSD, all that kind of stuff. But the really important thing here is the graphics card, and we're gonna start out with the 1650. So I wanna do a fairly decent job of kind of showing a wide range of gameplay. So right now, I m gonna start with Apex and I m gonna start here with everything maxed out at 1080p. So this is the way I assume most people will play with a card like the 1650, well, if you can actually keep up. . This is like me all the time. Yeah! So 1650 actually gives a pretty solid performance. I mean, were not locked at 60 here, but were in the low 50s to mid-50s. I got to say the 1650 is not a bad to 1080p card so far. I mean, we're in pretty much the low 60s to high 50s. Very playable on epic settings. Now mind you, if we try to push it a little higher, I don t think it would hold up so well, but at least for lighter game such as Fortnite, this seems to be pretty doable. And something you have to consider is that this is the lowest powered card of the group. So one of the nice things is that if you actually really wanna say, upgrade a prebuilt or something, or even if you have like the most beefy power supply, this should in theory fit in pretty much anything including a very small mini ITX system. Our next game is a little bit more demanding. It is Black Ops 4. Now, this is an excellent PC port, and this is one of the very few times where we actually start to run into the bottleneck of having only four gigs of RAM on the 1650 and the 570. So with texture quality set to very high and everything else set to ultra or high 1080p, were actually going a little bit over four gigs. Now we could bump down to high, which puts us just right underneath the cap, but that s a pretty big issue. Four gigs of RAM is, generally speaking, enough for these cards. But as time goes on, something like six or eight gigs of RAM like the other more expensive cards have could very well be a major advantage. For now, though, we're gonna go with very high settings and see how much that bottlenecks the 1650. So things do seem to work here, but the issue is that we do see a little bit of a frame rate drop sometimes. So generally speaking, we're in the 40s to 50s, but every once in a while, it does start to dip into the high 30s. And you can see, if you look at the VRAM, we're in the four-plus gigabyte range, which means its definitely pushing this card pretty hard. Yeah, we re-up here in the chopper, look at that, 34, 35?I mean, sure we could definitely get a smooth 60if we turn some settings down, but that s not the point. I mean, all these cards should, in theory, be capable of 1080p on pretty much max. And some of these cards might even be able to go beyond that. So the fact that we're in the 30s to 40sdoesn t bode so well for the 1650. So the most demanding here is there s no problem. I m getting a solid 80 fps. But as soon as I walk outside and see a whole lot more geometry, I mean. . . This area is just simple. Literally walking by these trees tanks my fps. Look up to the sky, oh there s no problem. But as soon as I actually see any real geometry, it drops pretty heavily. What is that?I m not gonna say this is unplayable, but Black Ops could and probably will run a lot better on the other cards. It s funny, but the RX 570 and I can immediately tell its a much more power-hungry card because I m getting like toasted here. I couldn't even feel anything with the 1650. All right, oh no you don t, wow, are you serious?Bro, no, no man. No, yeah! (chuckles)This does seem to perform better. I m actually kind of surprised because this is a cheaper graphics card. Yeah, it's going to be definitely not as power-efficient, but we're talking about something that is $20 less expensive and yet I m pretty close to a locked 60. Yeah, it drops a little bit from time to time, but I mean, especially when I m indoors, I m like 70. So let s get out and get some, look at that, 65, 66. It s not a huge difference, but I actually might give a slight win here to the RX 570. I would give a giant loss to myself because I m about to die. Oh, I m actually in the game? Oh damn, I m in-game, okay. All right, performance seems to be pretty similar to be honest. We re still in the low to mid-60s for the most part, which is very much where the 1650 was. We might be a few frames ahead, but I don t know, there does seem to be any kind of significant difference here. That being said, since this is a cheaper card, you would expect it not to perform as well. So yeah, there s a fair bit of stuff going on here were still 63, 64. Yeah, no, I think the 570 has an advantage. So last time in 1650, we were actually dipping into the mid to low 30s and 40s. Here, I m not seeing that at all. I mean, we're still solid above 60. I need to definitely get into some action. So what s interesting with the 570is that it has the same VRAM limitation which means that in Black Ops, we should be seeing some major dips, but I really haven t seen that yet. We actually haven t even dipped below 60. Now I m sure once I get into some action, I 'll see it start to dip a little bit. But I mean, on the 1650, we were in that 35 to 40 frames per second range pretty quickly. The fact that this card is $130is properly impressive. I mean, pretty much everything we 've thrown at it comes close to hitting 60 fps, and we're talking $130. Mind you that is with an expensive Ryzen CPU, but I don t think we re really severely CPU bottlenecked any of these games. Look at that. Now we jump up to the RX 580, we are stepping up the price point. So previously we were looking at 130 to 150 bucks, but now we do have a $180 graphics card here. But I m noticing a performance difference. So were the other two were in the 60-ish range, for the most part, were actually well above that, at least in the 70s, if not in the 80s here. The other advantage that the RX 580 has is it does have a full eight gigs of RAM. Now I do believe there are still some SKUs of the 580 with four gigs, and those are probably fine. But considering its not a huge price penalty to go up, it probably makes sense. Honestly, even with max settings, this is a slight overkill. I mean, we're not even like, the bottom end is still. . . I haven t gone below 60 yet. Fortnite seems to be a decent game for the 580, so I am seeing our frame rates being a little bit higher, probably close to that 75 to 80 range. Not a massive difference between the 570 though. I mean, yeah, it s a few extra frames but not enough to make any significant difference. So one of the more interesting things about this 580is that even though it's not the most expensive card here, it does have the most memorable with a full eight gigs. Now, most games are t really taking a huge advantage of it, but here on Black Ops, this is actually a game that will pretty much eat up as much VRAM as you can sort of give it. So right now, we're at 6. 3, 6. 4, but essentially it will continue to max out until you re literally full, and then it ll start cycling things through. So it 'll always be able to use more and more RAMif you actually have it, which is an advantage for the 580. And performance-wise, this is much better. (laughs)The 580 is a pretty big jump though. I feel pretty confident in saying that we're getting a minimum of like 80, 85. And a lot of times, were close to like 90 in here. Look at this, were above 100 frames per second while we're running around here. Like, 1080p is not even remotely a challenge. So over to 1660, Apex is immediately running really well. So first glance, 90 to 100 fps or so. And I guess, to be fair, if you re playing on a 60-hertz display, you probably wouldn't notice a massive difference. But if you re playing at those higher resolutions especially if you can take advantage of the higher frame rate, I mean, the 1660 is no joke. It should be no surprise that Fortnite is no problem for 1660. We re generally in the 80 to 90 frames per second range, which is especially, on epic settings, is pretty solid. I mean, this is totally smooth, no issues. This card really does feel like you could probably aim 1440p in a lot of games. Yeah, we're pretty solid in the 100-plus fps range right now. So its actually kind of impressive that we have a $220 graphics card, which does deliver like more than 1080p performance, right?I mean, if you re playing on a normal 1080p monitor, which I assume is most people at this point, you really won't get much more beyond going with something like a 1660, which is really nice. So if we get into some benchmarks to really put these four graphics cards side by side, there s a pretty clear list of winners. So the 1650 by far takes the lead, but that 580 and the 570 are t massively behind. And interestingly, the 1650 is even behind that 570, which does make sense, right? I mean, it was not as powerful in any of the games and the benchmark absolutely holds that out. Right now, you should not buy the 1650. I mean, yeah, its a low power card, it's nice and small. But beyond that, for $150, the performance just does t match up. In fact, one of my favorite cards in this entire group is actually the Radeon 570. Yeah, the cheapest car here, the one that s the oldest is actually still completely playable here in 2019. For $130, you cannot beat this, at least not right now until there s like a 1650 price cut. If you wanna take a step up from the 570, I do think the next logical step is the 1660. Sure it is more expensive, but you re getting a good jump in performance. But regardless, I think these are really the cards that you should consider. The 580 is okay, and the 1650 is well, don t buy it. I really do feel like the 570 thoughts probably the sweet spot for gaming right now. This a lot of power for 130 bucks. (uplifting music)

AMD HD 3450 Graphics card testing in 2020

Hey there everyone, hope yous all had a good new year. Today we&; re taking a look back at the Radeon HD 3450 from AMD. It came invariants of 512MB and 256MB of DDR2 memory on a 64-bit wide bus, but today, we have the 256MB version form MSI. The 3450, with a core clock of 600MHz and a memory clock of 500MHz (1000MHz effective due to the nature of DDR2 memory), released in January of 2008 with a type of 25w and used the RV620 GPU (RV620 LE variant specifically). It used the Terascale architecture and featured 181 million transistors built on the 55nmfabrication process and came packing 22 compute units, 40 shading units, 4 raster operations pipelines, and 4 texture mapping units. Given that is fairly old by today&;s standards, the 3450 won&;t support the latest games but is does carry support for direct x 10.1 and OpenGL 3.3 and requires a monitor that supports DVI, VGA or S-Video connections unless you have an adapter. Originally, the 3450 released at a price of US$49 which is around US$57 today, adjusting for inflation, or around £45 or €52 today. You can pick it up much more cheaply today as I&;m sure you can imagine, for as little as £4 at CEX here in the UK, when it is in stock and on eBay in America, you can buy it for around US$7 with free postage.

PERFORMANCE OF AMD HD 3450 Graphics card in 2020

The rest of the system I&; ll be using today features an i7 6700k @ 4.8GHz (this eliminates any bottlenecks in performance other than the 3450 itself), a MSI Z270 SLI Plus motherboard,16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM @ 2800MHz, and Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, so let&;s get the tests started. First up, I thought I&;d put the 3450 through Unigine Heaven 4.0, as I wanted to get an idea of its benchmarking performance rather than just run it through a few games. I decided to use the Basic preset within Unigine Heaven and I also changed it to run fullscreen as well. At the factory stock 600MHz core clock and 500MHz memory clock, the 3450 managed a score of only 71 points, far far below what the budget cards of today can manage. Overclocking wise, I managed to get another 155MHz out of the core and 145MHz out of the memory for an overclock of 755MHz on the core and 645MHz on the memory. At this speed, the HD 34500 managed almost 30% greater performance with a score of 88. I like to start off the tests normally with Grand Theft Auto 5, which had its much-anticipated PC release back in 2015 and is still a great game for benchmarking today due to its popularity. Unfortunately, though, the game was completely unplayable. It was genuinely one of the worst performers in the history of my channel. Due to the HD 3450 being a budget card, even when it was released, I decided to run the game at the lowest resolution possible, 800x600 with 50% frame scaling, meaning that the game was effectively rendering at only 400x300. Despite this, as I said, the game was totally unplayable.FPS in the city was between 10-17fps and the game showed some pretty severe input lag and input locking as well. The input locking, which is kind of like say when the throttle or steering sticks on a car, was so severe that I gave up on running any kind of benchmark due to it. I was really hoping for something at least resembling a playable game, and with CSGOI sort of got that to an extent. I also ran this at the lowest settings and resolution I could, 640x480, and I ran the test in a competitive, hard difficulty bot match on the Mirage map. Fps tended to be around the high 30s to the high 50s throughout the test and seemed to run smoothly at times, although it did suffer from some pretty noticeable stuttering occasionally, and combat was also pretty difficult at times as well. A fraps benchmark showed an average of 49fps, with 1% and 0.1% lows of 27 and 24 fps respectively. There were also some gaps between some of the frames of ~ 70-100ms. Overall, it was mostly playable, however, you may want to think twice about going online, as the stuttering and sometimes difficult combat will affect your experience against real people in the game. Another game that is still pretty popular today is Skyrim, specifically the original version of the game from 2011, not the remastered version released in 2016. And like the previous 2 games, I turned the settings and resolution right down to the low preset at 800x600 and also disabled depth of field through the game file. Given the games age, I was kind of surprised it didn&;t perform better than it did, although in saying that I&;m forgetting that the HD 3450 was never meant for gaming, even on its initial release 11 years ago now.

GAMING TEST on AMD HD 3450 Graphics card in 2020

The game only managed around 20-30fps on the walk to Riverwood and as you&; ve probably noticed by now, there was also a weird issue with the textures flickering like crazy throughout the game and trust me, the 3450 isn&;t artifacts. The game also quite noticeably micro-stutters at times and occasionally drops below 20fpsas well. Another issue I noticed was that there was some input lag with the mouse which didn&; effet the test too much but was definitely still noticeable. Inside Bleak Falls Temple, I also had issues with the textures for cobwebs not loading at all, leading you to wonder why on Earth you can&;t get through the door to fight the giant spider for example. The fraps benchmark showed an average of 30fps with 14 and 10fps for its 1% and 0.1% lows respectively. With gaps between some of the frames as bad as 280ms being observed in the frame time graph. Lastly, before I overclock the card, it&;s Warframe, which is a personal favorite of mine and had its initial release back in 2013. Like Skyrim, I ran Warframe at 800x600 with the lowest settings preset I could. And I ran the test in a Survival mission on Jupiter. Unfortunately, the game was beyond unplayable. There was a very noticeable amount of input lag which had a big effect on the gameplay, and in intense scenes with lots of enemies, there was a noticeable slow down in the game with a massive reduction in weapon fire rate happening too.
Fps throughout, was no higher than 22 frames per second and dropped as low as 12fps in the most intense scenes. The fraps benchmark showed an average framerate of only 18 frames per second, with 1% and0.1% lows of 12 and 10fps respectively, with gaps between frames of 100ms and over occurring through the whole test. Moving into overclocking and I was quite surprised how far I was able to push it. As I mentioned during the Unigine Heaven test earlier, the HD 3450 managed 755MHz on the core with 645MHz on the memory. And that is without an increase in voltage as the 3450 doesn&;t have voltage control. Both CSGO and Warframe were OK with this as well and ran perfectly stable but GTA V and Skyrim couldn&;t cope with, they, however, managed 730 and 735MHz on the core respectively with the same 645MHz memory overclock. With GTA V, any improvement over what it managed at stock would be a good thing. The game is unfortunately still pretty unplayable but I was at least able to run a benchmark.FPS was still in the low 10s to ~20fps and overall, the game ran a lot smoother throughout the city, it did however still stutter quite noticeably. The input lag was also much less, that though was still pretty significant at times and almost gave up on the benchmark due to how it affected the playability of the missions. Moving out to the desert area, around where Trevor lives, there was also some noticeable input locking here as well, although it wasn&;t so bad that I couldn&;t get around. That aside, the fps here was below 20fps, making the game quite unplayable due to how jarring an experience it is. The fraps benchmark showed an average of 19fps with 1% and 0.1% lows of 11 and 8fps respectively. There were also multiple gaps between some frames of around 100ms up to 280ms at its worst according to the frame time graph. With CSGO, there was a pretty significant improvement to performance. Whereas at stock, there was noticeable micro-stutter throughout, the overclock has the game running reasonably smooth. Combat is also much easier as well which makes the game so much more playable than it was without the overclock. Fps tended to sit around the low 40s to the low 80s but indoors, it would creep up to~100 frames per second which is awesome for such a low powered card, if you put the low resolution to one side. The fraps benchmark showed an average of 61fps, with 1% and 0.1% low framerates of 31 and27fps respectively. There were however several dips below 30fps according to the frame time graph, but these, fortunately, weren&;t noticeable. With Skyrim, the overclock did nothing to fix the texture flickering issue I saw at stock clocks, although, I wasn&;t expecting any change there anyway. It did however have a pretty significant impact on performance at times. The walk towards Riverwood near the start of the game, has fps figures in the mid 30sto low 40s, although, this drops to around the low to high 20s once you head into the Riverwood Trader.It&;s still fairly easy to move around here though. Once you get into Bleakfalls Temple, the performance can get pretty bad. Fps sits in the low 20s at points and there&;s also some pretty noticeable stutter here too. The issue with the cobweb textures not rendering remains as well. The fraps benchmark showed average, 1% and 0.1% lows of 35, 17 and 13 frames per second respectively, with the frame time graph showing some pretty significant gaps between some of the frames of around 100-260ms. With Warframe, given that it is one of my favorites right now, I was rooting for it to have a massive improvement. And at first, things seemed pretty hopeful. That didn&;t last though, as the performance throughout the mission was pretty horrible at times. Fps managed to get to around the 30fps mark but the game was unfortunately still really stuttery and dipped below 15fps at the worst of times with a very significant and noticeable slowdown in the game being observed much like at stock clocks. The fraps benchmark showed average, 1% and 0.1% low framerates of 24, 15 and 14fps respectively, with gaps between frames of around 60-80ms happening throughout the whole test. Overall, I was a bit disappointed about how the HD 3450 performed.

CONCLUSION FOR AMD HD 3450 Graphics card in 2020

 It wasn&;t intended for gaming, even when it was released 11 years ago, but at least expected close to playable performance at the resolution I tested the games at, which GTA V, Skyrim and Warframe just couldn&;t offer. Saying that though, with an overclock, CSGO was actually quite enjoyable, if you&; re happy to use 640x480.There&;s just something about really low power graphics cards and processors I like, so I still had a good time testing the HD 3450 regardless of how it performed.

why RX 580 is the best graphics card in budget now

RX 580 is the best graphics card in budget now

AMD IS GRAPHICS CARD COMPANY WHICH OFFERS AMAZING GRAPHICS CARD IN BUDGET. BUT DUE TO LESS PERFORMANCE IT CAN'T ABLE TO BEAT NVIDIA. SO NOW THEY WERE TRYING TO BEAT NVIDIA WITH THE PRICE OF THEIR Gtx 580 is the best graphics card WHICH IS IN NOW IN BUDGET. The latest price of RX 580 8gb is RS 16600 which is lesser than gtx 1660. This GPU provides more cores that would help in gaming and even it gives performance better than gtx 1660 6 GB. The price of gtx 1660 6GB is 17-18K.

PROOF Rx 580 best graphics card

Best possible Fps from the all RX 580 and Gtx 1660. You can see that the Rx 580 is a clear winner or gives almost the same performance with more cores and lesser prices.

So if you would like to make his computer best in budget but not for gaming, but for performance. You can go to RX 580. But if want only gaming, gaming and gaming then you should go to GTX 1660. However, there is a very small 5 to max 10 fps difference between both graphics cards. And you get more 2GB ram form AMD graphics card which is 8GB in Rx 580.

Benefit of RX 580 graphics card in budget

The dreams come true. The dream to buy a graphics card for 8GB Ram and but not have more money. You can buy Rx 580. As some agree with me the AMD graphics card gives more performance in video editing. 8GB GDDR5 memory in GPU is now seemed valueless but in the future, the memory demeaning games will work better in these graphics cards but yet these seem less powerful. and nobody want to wait for a long time to get the best performance. But still, it is a good graphics card is it gives more performance than GTX 1650. 

PRICE AND BENCHMARK

RX 580 is now available at a very low price. You can check out your self on online or offline stores for more information for the latest prices. But I had provided the best links for the best price of RX 580 in India 2019.

GTX 1660 Full detailed Review with best buy links

GTX 1660 Full detailed Review with best buy links

so a few weeks ago we were all introduced to Nvidia&;s first Non-RTX GPUs for 2019 gtx 1660 TI I said that right this time by the way now even though this thing can&;t run AI or ray-tracing operations it still offers some great value for gamers who don&;t see a point in paying a premium for the features that aren&;t just being used yet so that brings us to today&;s review which was almost late because of ups damn and Ihate UPS I just I just really do but anyways it&;s finally here this my friends is the gtx 1660 non-TI that is and it&;s starting price is at $220 which is pretty affordable if you think about it considering the gtx 1060 was launched around $200 and the older gtx 960 was launched at $200 since its release dayit&;s also interesting to note that Nvidia&;s GTX 1060 and cards around this price point are the most popular right now on steams Hardware serve so this is very important launch so why don&;t we get into the review but first a quick message from our sponsor the new Animax slick tech TR for AI a liquid CPU cooler now features this beautifully diffused RGB lining around the CPU block that can be customized via this control box or through your motherboard it covers 100%of the IHS plus it comes in two forty to eighty and three sixty millimeter variants learn more in the description down below now before I get to the benchmarks let&;s actually get into what the gtx 1660 is but at the same time if you just want to skip directly into performance I&; ll actually leave timestamps down in the comments also if you want to check out our GTX 1660TI review and learn a little bit more about the architecture you can actually check that up right over here like I said in the GTX 1660 and 1660 TI article these new gtx cards use the 1290 meter tu1 1:6 core which incorporates all of the Turin architectures improvements except the RT and tensor units that means RTX has been crossed out the spec sheet but performance in standard games gets a big post and media did this because AI and ray-tracing operations to be backed up by a huge amount of rendering power and that&;s something these lower price options just don&;t have so if you want RTX you&; ll need to spend a little bit more money and buy an RTX 2060 or a higher-end GPU the GTX1660 specs are pretty interesting too it uses a cut-down version of the gtx1660 ti score with a little over 1400 Cuda cores and slightly higher clock speeds while the TDP remains at 120 watts the real difference here is with memory 1660 still has six gigabytes and 192-bit wide interface but it uses gddr5modules operating at 8 gigahertz instead of 12 gigahertz of GDD are 6 well that could cause memory bandwidth bottlenecks in some games wouldn&;t be surprised if a bit of overclocking brings a stock GTX 1660close to a GTX 1660 Ti unfortunately due to some other shipping issues I wasn&; table to get a stock GTX 1660 in time for this article but EVGA ended up sending their XE ultra version personally I have mixed feelings about this card in terms of design but it&;s a lot better than the triple slot version that I looked at in our GTX 1660 and 1660 TI article even though the length is about 10.5 inches or 268millimeters it&; ll fit into more small form factor cases - other than that turning the card over shows that EVGA has used a shorter PCB and then attached a massive cooler the overhang is protected by a small backplate but the design also means the power connector gets popped into an interesting location the rear i/o area is pretty straightforward with single outputs for DVI HDMI and DisplayPort it&;s nice to see DVI here since a lot of gamers looking for more affordable cards might not have a newer monitor and the last thing anyone wants to buy is another adapter the XC ultra version has also been pre-overclocked by EVGA and its core runs about 60 mega is higher than the stock version that likely won&;t result in all that much performance especially since the memory sticks to a gigahertz the price is what might rip a few people up since this card will hit $250 but EVGA will be offering a limited$10 rebate at large bringing it to 240one thing I did notice during testing was that the boos clock constantly stat nineteen sixty-five megahertz that&;s almost 100 megahertz higher than what a reference back 1660 TI hit so let&;s cut this short right here and get right on to the benchmarks as we run through these charts you&; basically see the same thing repeated over and over again the gtx 1660outperforms the gtx ten succeed by a pretty big margin at both resolutions sometimes by over 25% but does that mean that he should be replacing the 1060 if you have one absolutely not but if you have a gtx 960 or an earlier GPU this will be a huge step up at a price that&;s really close to what you paid a few years ago another thing that&;s important to mention again is the VGA card I&; musing over here is pre-overclocked but not by a huge amount I&; going to say that the increased clock speeds add between two or three percent most to the scores versus a stock 1660 now when you compared to the 1660TI performance is really variable at times they&; re pretty close with this new card in some other times it even comes close to the gtx 1070 performance levels but frame rates really aren&;t consistent across and retail in a few games the not models falls way too behind but that actually happens a lot more often at1440p so the gap is likely due to the 1660s lower memory clock speeds you can actually see that situation pretty clearly in hell-blade rainbow 6 and witcher at 1080p then again at 1440p games like far cry 5 battlefield and even overwatch can be added to that list too particularly with the lower 1% of frame times against AMD cards the GTX 1660 is roughly equal to performance of an Rx 590 but that card almost consumes a ton more power and even costs a bit more right now I would be surprised if AMD further lowers prices on the RX 580and RX 590 quickly moving on to power consumption this pre overclockedEVGA gtx 1660 XC ultra actually consumes a bit less than the gtx 1060superclocked and that just goes to show you how much Nvidia&;s new architecture and the 1290 meter manufacturing process are able to improve performance per watts I guess it&;s time to wrap things up and I have to say I&;m pretty impressed with Nvidia&;s new GTX series even though almost every one of the RTX cards felt overpriced the gtx 1660 ti and now the gtx 1660 really do feel like good values for their price points I wouldn&;t run out to replace a 10 series card with them but if you&; re coming from an older generation GPU they could be an awesome choice, however, I can say that the 1660 is perfect I mean if you look at the XE Ultra from EVGA, in this case, it&;s a $30 premium over these stock GPU and that almost gets closer to what you would pay for a reference SPECT gtx1660 ti also the gddr5 memory modules may cause some bottlenecks in some situations but from an overall perspective I think this is a pretty solid choice for the price so that pretty much wraps us up guys so let me know what you guys think about the gtx 1660 I mean if you&; re rocking a gtx 960or perhaps a 760 would this be an upgrade in the pipeline for you guys let me know in the comments down below and e bar with harbor connects thank you so much for watching make sure to check out some relevant content over here.

Nvidia geforce gtx 1660 ti review

RTX a series back in October and then it later on continued with Nvidia&;s launch of the RX 590 and then the Iranian seven and now it&;s Nvidia&;s turn again but in a very different way than people are expecting so these are examples of the GTX 1660 TI yep GTX 1000 series is making a comeback and I&;m super stoked about that now what exactly it&;s a GTX 1660 TI well I&;m gonna make this explanation as simple as possible before getting into the performance results in short what Nvidia has done is taking the touring architecture from the RTX cards and cutout both the tensor and RT partitions what we&; re left with is what&;s called a tu116 which is GPU core without any RTX features so forget about running things like DLSS or ray-tracing however it uses the brand new touring architecture with a 12-nanometer manufacturing process so shady performance is loads better than a GTX 1060, for example, the cool thing here is that along with the Turing architecture enhancements the GTX 1660 TI also gets its enhanced n VNC encoder and NV dec decoder capabilities that&;s a pretty big deal for streamers the reason for the lack of RTX features on the 1660 brings us back to what Dimitri said when he was testing out battlefield 5 right now ray tracing and other AI operations take a ton of resources even with the tensor and RT cores helping out and that means lower-end graphics cards would be able to offer a good gameplay experience and guess what that&; ll cause some of invidious key technologies to be only available for people who are willing to spend a big chunk of money on these expensive RTX GPUs and I wonder how that.

COMPARISON OF NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1660 TI

IT affect RTX game development probably not that well now for my specs and pricing standpoint the GTX 1660 Ti sits right in between the GTX 1060 6gigabyte and the RTX 2060 it&; ll startup $280 and as 1536 CUDA cores and 6gigabytes of 12 gigabits per sec GDD our sex memory operating over 192bit memory bus it&; ll start at $280 which happens to be $30 more than what this1060 launched but it&;s $70 less than the lowest-priced RTX 2060&;s do note that Nvidia won&;t have a Founders Edition on this one though as for clock speeds the reference boards will have a booth speed of 17 70megahertz the EVGA GTX 1660 ti XC Black Edition that I have over here hits those reference speeds and also Nvidia&;s $280 starting price we actually saw its boost frequency hit 18 80 megahertz pretty regularly though the MSI gaming X version is a different beast, on the other hand, it comes pre-overclocked and with a pretty hefty 310 price tag but it&;s leveled out around 1950 megahertz most games so expect a few FPS improvement the problem might be its price since $310 puts MSI really close to lower-priced RTX 2060 cards butdon&;t forget the 2060s boot speeds are only around 1700 megahertz so it&; ll be interesting to see how closely MSI 1660 I can get speaking of the MSI card I actually like its looks a lot more than EVGA s honestly I don&;t know what EVGAwas even thinking with this triple of slot design the GTX 660ti is supposed to be an efficient card which would make it perfect for ITX cases and while most of those can handle a card as long as the gaming X the triple slot bj monster could face some serious mounting and ventilation issues I also like the stealth black and grey finish on the MSI card and the best part is that it comes with a backplate that looks absolutely gorgeous and you know this would fit in perfectly for a completely stealth looking build that doesn&;t really you know pop-out that well and I appreciate that now the ironic thing here is that when testing both of these cards they both hit a constant temperature of 64 C under load but the single EVGA fan needed to spin at faster speeds and that resulted in louder acoustic performance while it trying to push enough air through the ultra-thick heatsink.

POWER CONSUMPTION OF NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1660 TI

Now jumping into power consumption before the rest of the benchmarks these cards are really efficient even though they operate at higher speeds and have a lot more course than the GTX 1060 alright guys so it&;s time for the rest of benchmark resultsI&;m going to use the same over 7900X test system as usual and if any of these pass by too quickly feel free to pause as you can see the GTX 660ti is pretty interesting card especially against the RX 590 remember even though that you can find at RX 590 around $260 it was launched only a few months ago $280 right now it looks like the $280 EVGA card is a much better value overall than what AMD is offering most of the time it actually hangs right in with a bag of 56 against the Nvidia cards the GTX 1660 ti looks pretty good too it&;s easily 25 to 40 percent faster than the GTX 1060 but make sure you keeping mind that the card starts at $200 so if you&; re looking to save a few bucks that could be a good route to actually if you want to draw a parallel the RTX1660 TI performs a lot like a slightly overclocked GTX 1070 but it does fall behind a bit at 1440p due to its smaller memory footprint the most interesting thing here about these results is how closely the pre-overclocked MSI gaming X gets to the RTX 2060 founders Edition especially when you&; ve lower 1% of framerates are compared sure there are times when the RTX 2060 is able to pull away ahead and the 1660 TI doesn&;t really have any RTX&;s features the only problem with the gaming X is its price it only offers 3 to 5% more performance than EVGA card but it costs $30 more personally I don&;t think that&; worth it but I don&;t really like the EVGA design either I&;d rather find a 1660 ti that goes for round 2 earned $80 and offers a cleaner double slot cooler take your gaming experience to the next level with Corsairs new harpoon RGBWireless Gaming Mouse with its advanced slipstream wireless technology experienced hyperfast sub 1-millisecond connection speeds along with dynamic RGB lighting for some extra Flair check out the harpoon Wireless end links below well guys that about wraps things up and I have to say that the GTX 1660 this a pretty exciting card provided you can find one at $280 but it also raises huge number of questions Nvidia has been beating their RTX jump for months now so to suddenly see a card without it feels a bit weird not only that but based on what we&; ve been told RTX features won&;t be available on any card that they launch for under $300 so that&;s basically a huge percentage of their customers that won&;t be running a compatible GPU now since ray tracing and some AI is just a lot harder to run I completely understand why Nvidia is doing this but convincing developers to build rtx enable games might have just become a lot harder but ignoring RTX and taking the GTX 660ti for what it isi&;m pretty impressed with a bit of overclocking you can get very close to RTX 2060 performance for about $70 less sure the 2060 does provide a bit more consistent performance across every title especially at 1440p but it&;s now become really hard to recommend the GTX 1660 ti is just hard to beat and it actually makes the RTX 590 completely overpriced now just watch out for them gaming X because it is very expensive and for what you&; re getting the gain is just very minimal so that pretty much wraps up the GTX 1660 ti performance review I hope you guys enjoyed this one I know what you guys think about the performance results and whether or not if you would be considering or recommending a card like the 1660 TI toa friend of yours who&;s looking to hire in a build system within a particular budget considering that it costs or it starts at two hundred eighty-eight dollars two hundred eighty dollars yeah anyways.
