Evga 1660 super Vs Evga 1080 SC

[Ryuklight]

Hi all,

 

I have recently acquired an Evga 1080 SC from a family friend. My system currently has the following specs:

 

CPU: I7-6700k 4.0GHz

RAM: 32GB 3200MHz Corsair Vengeance DDR4

GPU: Evga 1660 super 6GB GDDR6

PSU: Corsair CX750M 80+ Bronze

 

I have the 1660 super gpu overclocked to just under 2100MHz core and 7500MHz memory. Comparing online benchmarks of the two cards shows the 1080 SC to be better. As a result I'm not sure which of these two cards to run in my system. For context my pc is used predominantly for gaming and programming, I don't do any form of streaming or gameplay recording etc.

 

Just wondering what the people here thought, I will soon be getting a test bench and I have spares of the majority of my parts so will build up another system there for comparison as well.

 

Thanks!

I’d run the 1080.

unless you need nvec

1080.

[Jurrunio]

1080 of course, faster at stock than your overclocked 1660S

Wouldn't give up my 10 series stuff for a 16 series card. Im not gaining anything aside from a newer encoder that wont compare overall in my needed.

Want more frames when I play. Not supposedly better driver support in coming time. Prefer short term advantages while I have them.

not much diff in your use case, of coz 1080 is faster and consume more power

but who knows if it has serious coil whine, / loud fans etc

what ? 

if it consumes more power it's barely an upgrade ?!?!?!?

it will be an upgrade no matter what.

Nvenc isn't bad on the 1080 either, 2 pascal encoders vs one Turing encoder.

 

@Ryuklight the 1660 super is pretty close to the GTX 1070 in gaming performance, for your reference. 

[Mick Naughty]

It’s a reference board. Power isn’t a huge factor. Nor is power delivery being noisy and the fans are plenty. It’s a dam Sc.

1080 hands down. It is like literally double the performance

[Mateyyy]

Yeah unless you need Turing NVENC for streaming, the 1080 will give you a nice 20ish% boost in performance in pretty much all titles.

OP's got a GTX 1660, not a GTX 660. Let's be a little realistic here lol

comparing an "old" top end gpu that still holds its title vs high end current gen gpus like a 2070 TO a mad overclocked budget/mid-range card...... uhhh idk

answer is pretty simple: go for the 1080

unless you need the new encoding option, the 1080 is an easy choice
