Pc Gamer Gtx 1060
GeForce GTX 1660 is the younger brother of the, and is the second card in the GeForce GTX 16 series from Nvidia. K150 pic programmer driver. Just like GTX 1660 Ti, it is also based on the Turing GPU architecture and is said to be the direct replacement of GTX 1060, especially the 3GB variant of GTX 1060.
However, the card is more powerful and can easily fight against the 6GB GTX 1060, and the Radeon RX 590, which is a mid-range graphics from AMD, and an improvement over the older.GTX 1660 is also a budget mid-range card, and is geared more towards budget conscious mainstream gamers who mostly game at 1080p. It is also very competitively priced by Nvidia and there are various models available for it from different graphics card manufacturers. So, if you want to know that how much performance, value and features this card offer over its major rivals then here I am going to tell you about it. GTX 1660 vs GTX 1060 vs RX 590 ComparisonHere is a comparison between GTX 1660, GTX 1060 (3GB / 6GB) and RX 590 graphics cards, based on their specifications, performance, pricing, power consumption and features. GPU ArchitectureGTX 1060 is based on the, while GTX 1660 is built on the newer and advanced architecture, which is. On the other hand, Radeon RX 590 is an AMD card, and is built on Polaris GPU architecture. The 3GB variant of GTX 1060 comes with 1152 CUDA Cores, 6GB GTX 1060 has 1280 CUDA Cores and the newer GTX 1660 comes with 1408 CUDA Cores.Radeon RX 590 comes with 2304 Stream Processors, which are very different from CUDA Cores, because Nvidia and AMD graphics cards use completely different technologies and internal architecture.
Gtx 1060 Computer
GeForce GTX 1060 is capable of DirectX 12 gaming requirements. A strong performing graphics solution opens the door to 49% of the most demanding system requirements of today.
CUDA Cores and Stream Processors cannot be compared with each other, when determining performance.

However, GTX 1060 is also available in 3GB GDDR5 memory variant, that has lesser number of CUDA Cores compared to the 6GB variant of it. Lately, Nvidia has also introduced GDDR5X memory in the newer models of GTX 1060 6GB, which makes only a slight performance increase, but the benefit of GDDR5X memory is that it can be overclocked to higher frequencies than the GDDR5 one. On the other hand, Radeon RX 590 comes with 8GB GDDR memory having 256-bit interface, and offers the highest bandwidth here, which is 256 GB/s. The memory speed for all these cards remain at 8Gbps only.Must Read:GTX 1660GTX 1060 3GBGTX 1060 6GBRadeon RX 590Memory Size6 GB GDDR53 GB GDDR56 GB GDDR5 / GDDR5X8 GB GDDR5Memory Interface192-bit192-bit192-bit256-bitMemory Speed8 Gbps8 Gbps8 Gbps8 GbpsMemory Bandwidth192 GB/s192 GB/s192 GB/s256 GB/sFeaturesWhen it comes to features, then all of these cards support DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5, Vulkan, OpenCL and are.
Also, all of these cards support hardware based H265/HEVC and 4K H264 Encoding and Decoding for and Rendering.When it comes to variable refresh rate technologies to reduce screen tearing in games, then GTX 1060 and GTX 1660 supports G-Sync, while Radeon RX 590 has got FreeSync for it.
