MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Gaming X & Armor OC recenzija

MSI nam je na test poslao dvije GTX 1660 Ti kartice, jednu u Gaming X izdanju i drugu u Armor OC. Gaming X je kao i uvijek u vrhu ponude, dolazi s najmoćnijom izvedbom hlađenja i najvišim taktovima. No, Armor OC dolazi s podjednako visokim taktovima, ali je jeftinija. MSI u ponudi ima osam različitih GTX 1660 Ti kartica u Aero TX, Ventus, Armor i Gaming izvedbama. Gaming verzije su najskuplje i najbolje napravljene s Twin Forzr 7 hladnjacima i aluminijskim stražnjim pločama, dok Armor i Ventus imaju malo klasičnije izvedene hladnjake s plastičnim stražnjim stranicama. Aero ITX su jasno kraće kartice te imaju samo po jedan ventilator.

Bundle je kod svih kartica standardan MSI-ev, kao što smo vidjeli i kod GTX 1660 Gaming X modela kojeg smo testirali nedavno. AMD nudi veću vrijednost sa svojim karticama jer i uz RX590 i obje Vege kupac dobiva čak tri igre. Kod Nvidije je samo RTX serija u sličnom, ali malo siromašnijem programu.

MSI koristi identičan dizajn Gaming kartica od RTX 2070, RTX 2060, i GTX 1660 serija, kao što smo mogli i vidjeti u našim dosadašnjim testovima. Prokušana je to formula koja radi i Twin Forzr 7 je odličan hladnjak koji je efikasan i tih u cijelom tom rasponu GPU-a (ventilatori se ne vrte više od 1.200 okretaja u minuti). Naravno, kod RTX 2070 i 2060, aluminijski hladnjak ima više "mesa" i kartica je teža, no onaj osnovni dizajn je isti. GTX 1660 Ti ima identične dimenzije kao i 1060 kartica, što znači 247 x 127 x 46 milimetara, a masa je 869 grama. Plastični oklop ima i RGB LED osvjetljenje s kojim smo dobro upoznati već do sada.

Ispod Twin Frozr 7 hladnjaka se nalazi TU116 grafički procesor koji ima 24 SM jedinice i ukupno 1536 CUDA jezgri. GPU je površine 284 milimetra kvadratna, napravljen je TSMC-ovom u 12-nanometarskom FFN procesu., te ima 6.6 milijardi tranzistora. Teksturnih jedinica je 96, a ROP-ova 48. Na MSI Gaming X kartici procesor radi na osnovnih 1.500 MHz i boostu do 1.875 MHz. Pregledom GPU-Z loga utvrdili smo da je pravi boost takt 1.965 MHz pod opterećenjem, uz vršnu potrošnju od oko 132 W prema istom logu. Memorije je 6 GB i GDDR6 je tipa (za razliku od 1660 gdje je GDDR5). Radi na frekvenciji od 1.500 MHz s efektivnim data rateom od 12 Gbps. Sabirnica za komunikaciju s GPU-om je 192-bitna.

Kartica ima klasičan raspored portova - tri Display Port 1.4 izlaza (4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz) i jedan HDMI 2.0b (7680 x 4320 @ 60 Hz). Tu je i NVENC enkoder koji podržava H.265 (HEVC) 8K enkodiranje pri 30 fps-a. NVENC podržava dekodiranje HEVC 4:4:4 8/10/12-bitnog videa, te VP9 10/12-bita HDR. I ostatak priče je klasičan - podrška za DirectX 12 (FL_2) i OpenGL v4.5 API-e, Ansel, Highlights, G-Sync (HDR) i VR Ready tehnologije je standardna, a SLI podrške nema.

GTX 1660 Ti Armor OC je brža od dvije Armor kartice koje su u ponudi, a po taktovima je bliska Gaming X kartici. Koncept hladnjaka je drugačiji, i MSI ga naziva Armor Thermal Design. Sastoji se od dva Torx 2.0 ventilatora i klasičnog rebrastog aluminijskog hladnjaka s dvije toplovodne cijevi koje imaju direktan kontakt s GPU-om. Posebnog hladnjaka za VRM i RAM module, kao kod Twin Frozr-a nema. Ujedno, sa stražnje je strane PCB-a samo ukrasni plastični poklopac s MSI logom i zmajem.

Kartica je dimenzija 243 x 129 x 42 milimetra i mase 668 grama. PCB joj je kraći i drugačijeg layouta u odnosu na Gaming X karticu. Uz to, ventilatori imaju potpuno drugačiju mapu i način rada. Pri pokretanju se zavrte relativno brzo i vrlo su čujni, pa se nakon toga stabiliziraju na nešto nižim okretajima. Ipak, u prosjeku rade na 600 - 700 okretaja više od onih na Gaming X kartici (pod opterećenjem se vrte 1.800 do 1.900 okretaja u minuti). Razlog je tome što je kod Armora korišten nešto lošiji primjerak TU116 čipa kojem treba više napona da bi radio na višim taktovima.

A taj TU116 ovdje radi na okruglih 1.500 MHz osnovnog i 1.860 MHz boost takta, što je samo 15 MHz ispod takta GPU-a na Gaming X kartici. GPU-Z bilježi boost takt od 1.935 do 1.950 MHz što je blisko taktu Gaming X (1.965 MHz). Stoga ćemo u grafovima vrlo vjerojatno vidjeti vrlo slične performanse ove dvije kartice. Memorija je identična, Micronova GDDR6, ima je 6 GB i radi na 1.500 MHz, odnosno ima data rate od 12 Gbps. Kartica je dizajnom zanimljiva, ima crno bijeli pokrov hladnjaka i crni stražnji poklopac. Nema nikakvu rasvjetu na sebi, a jedini ukrasi su MSI-ev logo i zmaj koji se nalaze straga i na vrhu.

Kao i kod svih ostalih 1660 Ti kartica i ova ima tri Display Port 1.4 izlaza s maksimalnom podržanom rezolucijom od 4096 x 2160 piksela pri 60 Hz, te jedan HDMI 2.0b s maksimalnom podržanom rezolucijom od 7680 x 4320 piksela pri  60 Hz. Tu je i podrška za sve ostale standardne tehnologije pa ih sada nećemo ponovno nabrajati. Sa softverske su strane od pomoći korisniku OC Scanner (alat za automatski overclocking), Kombustor (stress test i benchmark), Predator (snimanje gameplaya), te neizostavni Afterburner.

Način testiranja

Testove smo napravili na ASRockovoj Z390 Phantom Gaming 9 ploči i s i7 8700K procesorom overclockiranim na okruglih 5.0 GHz. Monitor je Dellov U2713HM. Baterija testova je ista kakvu koju smo koristili kod zadnjeg testa - MSI GTX 1660 Gaming X.

Napravili smo standardne testove zagrijavanja i potrošnje kroz nekoliko naslova, te uzeli onu najveću vrijednost, a mjerena je potrošnja cijelog sistema. Vrijednosti buke koju navodimo u članku smo dobili mjerenjem uz pomoć pametnog telefona (Android 9) i SoundMeter aplikacije. Overclocking

Overclockingom Gaming X kartice smo došli do +100 MHz za GPU i +800 MHz DDR (200 MHz), za memoriju. Stvarni boost takt otkriva GPU-Z log, a bio je na cementiranih 2.055 MHz. Power limit smo mogli podići samo na 107% (89°C), a ventilatore smo ostavili u automatskom načinu rada.

Armor OC model se pokazao kao već dosta tvornički "našpanan" s GPU taktom i uspjeli smo izvući samo dodatnih 30 MHz, što je po GPU-Z-u bilo 1.980 MHz. Memoriju smo uspjeli podići za +500 MHz DDR (125 MHz), i jasno je da će porast performansi biti puno niži nego kod Gaming X kartice.

Kod Gaming X okretaji ne prelaze 1.350 rpm, dok kod Armor OC idu i do 1.900, pa je i razlika u buki poprilična - 56 vs. 48 dB. Ako se prisjetimo, kod Gigabyteove GTX 1660 Ti kartice, buka je bila oko 50 dB, a okretaji na 1.700.

Kao što smo imali prilike vidjeti ove su kartice poprilično izjednačene u performansama. Razlikuju se po rashladnom sistemu koji je kod Gaming X puno tiši i kvalitetnije izveden. Kod Armor OC kartice je GPU već tvornički dosta overclockiran i očito je riječ o malo lošijem primjerku TU116 nego kod Gaming X. To se vidi po razlici u overclockingu, gdje Gaming X ima puno više prostora za povećanje takta i performansi.

Armor OC je solidno napravljena kartica, no Gaming X ipak bolje posložena, s kvalitetnijim materijalima i komponentama (VRM). Razlika u cijeni od stotinjak kuna (2.550 vs. 2.650 kuna za Gaming X) nije velika kako što bi bilo za očekivati pa preporuka svakako ide za Gaming X - osim što je bolje napravljena, puno je tiša i bolje se overclockira. Gigabyteova GTX 1660 Ti Gaming OC ima cijenu vrlo sličnu Gaming X-u. Performanse su im većinom podjednake, Gaming X je malo tiša, no Gaming OC manje troši i nešto malo bolje se overclockira. Izbor ostavljamo kupcu i njegovim preferencijama, nama su podjednake. Kao i kod testa Gigabyteove kartice, ostajemo pri istom zaključku - GTX 1660 Ti je izvrsna mainstream kartica i odlična kupovina. Ipak, kome ne smeta znatno viša potrošnja, veće dimenzije i više zagrijavanje, a ne mogu se odlučiti između GeForce i Radeon kartica, dobro će doći informacija da su Vege 56 pale ispod 3.000 kuna, a donose tri naslova u bundleu. Uz to su naravno i nešto brže. GeForce RTX 2060 se pak također mogu naći ispod 3.000 kuna, pa je u ovom segmentu poprilična gužva.
