NVIDIA Scanner is an API that developers can bake into their overclocking software. I used the NVIDIA Scanner tool built into EVGA's Precision X1 software to overclock the cards. However, it consumed less power than the ASUS card did when idling at desktop, so there's a point in its favor there. Still, the card ran reasonably cool and quiet, and I wouldn't lose sleep over small differences like this.
For power consumption, I measured the total system power draw during the Fire Strike Extreme benchmark.Ĭooling performance on the Gigabyte model was good, but not quite up to par with the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. I ran 40 loops of 3DMark's Fire Strike Extreme stress test and took the peak temperature readings during the run. That's a bit odd, considering the identical clock speeds and its performance in 3DMark, but it was roughly 6 per cent behind at 1080p and High settings. There were more tangible differences in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, where the Gigabyte card trailed the ASUS card at the 1080p resolution. It's pretty demanding as well, capable of taxing even the most powerful cards. However, the difference was so small it was negligible.Ĭrystal Dynamic's Shadow of the Tomb Raider features a number of the latest graphics techniques to produce one of the best-looking titles available today. The Gigabyte card was marginally faster than the ASUS model, even though they were both clocked the same. A series of two graphics test, one physics test, and then a combined test stresses your hardware in turn to assess its performance. The synthetic 3DMark benchmark tests graphics and computational performance at different resolutions, starting at 1080p and going all the way up to 4K. I used the Fire Strike Extreme benchmark and stress test in 3DMark for our temperature and power consumption tests respectively. Next up, here's a list of all the benchmarks used. I've already run through a much wider range of tests in my review of the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Gaming OC when trying to answer how the new GPU sits among various other GPUs, so I'll just be going through a more limited selection for this review as we attempt to answer how Gigabyte's edition compares to its immediate competitor:
