EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 SC ULTRA BLACK Gaming vs GTX 1660 XC BLACK Gaming

Theoretical performance comparison

Real-world game, 3D graphics and compute performance is dependent on several graphics card parameters, including pixel fillrate, texture fillrate, memory bandwidth, single-precision performance and double-precision performance. Below you will find why they are important, and which GPU has better characteristics.

Higher is better
Pixel fillrate number shows how many pixels a graphics unit can draw on screen and off screen. Higher numbers allow GPUs to support higher maximum display resolutions and frame rates. There are two factors that influence the maximum pixel fillrate. They are graphics frequency and the number of Raster Operations Pipelines (ROPs). Since both characteristics are equal between graphics cards, their pixel fillrate is also identical.

Higher is better
There are two factors that affect the maximum texture fillrate, the number of TMUs (Texture Mapping Units) and graphics frequency. Because both models have the same number of TMUs and the same graphics clock, their texture fillrate is equal.

Higher is better
Single Precision performance illustrates how many single-precision floating point operations the card can execute per second. 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. It also depends on the processor clock rate. These two GPUs have the same maximum single-precision performance.

Similar to Single Precision performance, Double Precision one also provides the maximum number of floating-point operations, executed by CUDA cores or stream processors, but it refers to double precision (64-bit) operations. Both cards have the same performance.
