Gundam fans will love this … and anyone who’s planning to build a Gundam-themed gaming PC. This one is a special GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER ZAKU II Edition by Asus.
Taken from Videocardz … The new graphics card based on the TUF Gaming series features a red and white cooler designed in a look of Char’s MS-06S ZAKU II Mobile Suit, which appears in the anime series. This model features Turing TU116 GPU with 1408 CUDA cores. Since GTX 1660 SUPER is based on the old architecture it lacks ray-tracing and tensor cores, thus it will not support RTX and DLSS technologies. The graphics card is somewhat a predecessor to the RTX 3060 which was revealed by NVIDIA last week. The GTX model comes with only 6GB GDDR6 memory, half of what the new generation has to offer.
At this time it is unclear if ASUS has plans to release Ampere-based GUNDAM mid-range cards, but the company had already announced its RTX 3090 model featuring ROG STRIX White modification for the GUNDAM series.
Out of the box, the ASUS TUF GTX 1660 SUPER ZAKU II is factory-overclocked to 1800 MHz. It also comes with an OC mode that can be applied through GPU Tweak software which increases the frequency to 1830 MHz. The graphics card is a 2.7-slot design with three fans. It offers standard display connectors of one HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a, and DVI-D DualLink.
