ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB OC edition vs Phoenix GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB

Because two graphics cards have the same number of Raster Operations Pipelines (ROPs) and the ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB OC edition graphics card has higher operating frequency, its pixel fillrate is insignificantly higher. Having better pixel fillrate allows the GPU to draw more pixels on screen and off screen, which is beneficial for some 3D effects in games, or when playing at higher display resolutions.

Another important parameter, that influences overall graphics card performance, is texture fillrate. This parameter is proportional to graphics frequency and the number of TMUs (Texture Mapping Units). Since both GPUs have the same number of TMUs and the ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB OC edition is clocked slightly higher, its texture fillrate is insignificantly higher. Better maximum texture fill rate means that the GPU can apply more textures and/or utilize more sophisticated 3D effects for each textured picture element, which improves visual appearance of games and generated images.

Maximum Single Precision performance indicates how fast the graphics card is at running programs, that use single-precision floating point numbers. The performance is expressed in billions of Floating Point Operations Per Second, or GFLOPS. Since FP calculations are performed by shaders, CUDA cores or stream processors, the performance is directly proportional to their number. Processor clock rate also affects it. The ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB OC edition is a bit faster here. Higher single-precision performance number means the graphics card will perform better in general computing applications. Since stream processors or CUDA cores are also used as vertex and geometry shaders for 3D image generation, higher performance is also beneficial to games.

Maximum Double Precision performance is similar to the Single Precision performance, except that it applies to double-precision (64-bit) floating point operations. Games do not use double-precision arithmetics, therefore this characteristic is unimportant to their performance. The ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB OC edition graphics card has a very small advantage here.

Memory bandwidth of both graphics cards is identical.
