NVIDIA has finally announced the new mainstream Turing graphics cards, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER and the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER. The cards are specifically designed to offer better GPU performance to users who've been waiting to switch their older graphics cards and NVIDIA's GTX supercharged lineup gives them more reason to upgrade now!
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 16 SUPER Lineup Official - GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Available Now, GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER Available on 22nd November
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 16 SUPER variants would be launching in two flavors, the sub $250 US GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER and the sub $200 US GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER. Both cards are aimed well against AMD's Radeon RX 5500 series lineup which is also supposed to debut next month in November.

The GeForce 1660 series retain a competitive position against AMD's Radeon RX 500 series cards, offering much better performance and efficiency while the GeForce GTX 1650, although being a great card in terms of efficiency, wasn't priced competitive enough to take on the Radeon RX 570 series cards which retailed for around the same money.
Soon, the GeForce GTX 1650 would be going against AMD's latest rDNA based Radeon RX 5500 which is expected to be priced at around $150 US and offer better performance than the Radeon RX 570. Based on the specifications NVIDIA has released, the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER sounds like a much bigger SUPER upgrade than the GTX 1660 SUPER which should allow it to compete against the RX 5500 with reasonable performance.

NVIDIA talks about some good reasons as to why you should be upgrading to the new SUPER line of GeForce GTX cards. There's the obvious performance advantage but in addition to that, budget gamers can utilize Turing's encoder for better performance and image quality while streaming the AAA gaming titles. Also, NVIDIA's CUDA architecture is optimized for creator-aimed applications which include the entire Adobe suite.
