gtx 1660 super overclock msi afterburner

The GPU temperature is only 51c at 100% fan speed. That memory overclock brings the memory bandwidth up to 374GB/sec versus 336GB/sec.

On the memory side of things, at +800 this resulted in a memory frequency of 15.6GHz over the default of 14GHz. We actually feel that if we were able to raise the voltage, we could sustain 2085MHz, or maybe closer to 2100MHz. If you compare 2055MHz to 1785MHz that’s 270MHz higher. That’s a pretty big bump, considering the factory overclock was about that much higher over a stock frequency. Therefore, the consistent, highest stable overclock was 2055MHz on our video card.Īt 2055MHz the overclock added 135MHz over the default factory overclock. The starting point was actually 2085MHz, but it then quickly dropped to 2070MHz for a couple of minutes, but then it finally settled on 2055MHz after prolonged gaming. We did feel that there was room to push the GPU further if only we could raise the voltage. We also set the fan speed at 100% just to ensure the highest clock speeds and overclock. Without changing the voltage, we were able to set the Core Clock up to +130 and the Memory Clock at +800. Therefore we cannot try to raise the voltage, which we think would have helped our overclock, but unfortunately, it is completely locked out. We tried every method within MSI Afterburner but it just wasn’t having it. We were also not able to unlock the Core Voltage control at all.

Therefore, there isn’t a ton of room on the Power Target to increase, it is very minor. We were able to increase the Power Target to only 107% from 100%. We used the latest version MSI Afterburner.

Here is how to overclock the MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GAMING X video card and our final overclock.
