General info
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
2.number of transistors
6600 million
A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
5.Is dual-GPU
MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Gaming
The graphics card contains two graphics processing units (GPUs). This generally results in better performance than a similar, single-GPU graphics card.
6.Has air-water cooling
MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Gaming
The graphics card uses a combination of water and air to reduce the temperature of the card. This allows it to be overclocked more, increasing performance.
Performance
1.GPU clock speed
1530MHz
The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.
2.pixel rate
86.4 GPixel/s
The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
3.floating-point performance
5.07 TFLOPS
Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.
4.GPU memory speed
2001MHz
The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.
5.texture rate
158.4 GTexels/s
The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
6.shading units
1408
Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.
Memory
1.effective memory speed
8004MHz
The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.
2.maximum memory bandwidth
192GB/s
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
3.RAM
6GB
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of volatile memory used to store working data and machine code currently in use. It is a quick-access, temporary virtual storage that can be read and changed in any order, thus enabling fast data processing.
4.memory bus width
192bit
A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.
Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.
Ports
1.has an HDMI output
MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Gaming
Devices with a HDMI or mini HDMI port can transfer high definition video and audio to a display.
Newer versions of HDMI support higher bandwidth, which allows for higher resolutions and frame rates.
Allows you to connect to a display using DisplayPort.
More HDMI ports mean that you can simultaneously connect numerous devices, such as video game consoles and set-top boxes.
Allows you to connect to a display using DVI.
Allows you to connect to a display using mini-DisplayPort.
Features
DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.
4.Supports multi-display technology
MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Gaming
The graphics card supports multi-display technology. This allows you to configure multiple monitors in order to create a more immersive gaming experience, such as having a wider field of view.
A lower load temperature means that the card produces less heat and its cooling system performs better.
A lower idle temperature means that the card produces less heat and its cooling system performs better.
