EVGA GTX 1660 SUPER SC Ultra Review

For our temperature testing, we measure the peak GPU core temperature under load, as well as the GPU temperature with the card idling on the desktop. A reading under load comes from running the 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra stress test for 30 minutes. An idle reading comes after leaving the system on the Windows desktop for 30 minutes.

GPU temperatures for the SC Ultra are excellent, with a peak reading of 67C. This is 3C hotter than the Gaming OC, but we have to remember this is a significantly smaller card and it also has ‘only' two fans. Either way, 67C is a fantastic temperature and nothing at all to worry about.

This is reflected in the thermal gun images, with a hotspot of just 60C on the back of the PCB, from behind the GPU core. The hottest point on the side of the card was a section of the fin stack which hit just over 50C.
