TAIPEI, Taiwan, October 29, 2019 — ASUS today announced four GeForce® GTX 1660 and 1650 SUPERTM graphics cards, spanning the ROG Strix, ASUS Dual, TUF Gaming, and Phoenix product lines. These new GPUs leverage essential aspects of the Turing architecture to deliver performance that pairs perfectly with the latest monitors pushing high refresh rates at 1080p resolution, making them ideal for gamers seeking an uptick in performance on a budget.
ROG Strix: Peak Performance
Designed for competitive gamers that want peak performance, the ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1660 and 1650 SUPER graphics cards have a powerful cooling setup that keeps temperatures under tight control even during the most intense gaming. The DirectCU II cooling system puts copper heatpipes into direct contact with the die for improved thermal transfer. On top of the heatsink array, two powerful fans feature a new Axial-tech design, which delivers improved static pressure and lower noise. The card also benefits from Auto-Extreme Technology and a protective backplate that both enhance durability: one via an automated manufacturing process, and the other through physical strength. With the speed and reliability of ROG Strix on your their side, these latest cards give gamers a secret weapon for securing a spot at the top of leaderboards.
ASUS TUF Gaming: Built TUF
The TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 and 1650 SUPER graphics cards up the ante for cooling, without sacrificing the durability that makes them TUF. Each card is built using Auto-Extreme manufacturing, leverages DirectCU cooling, is protected by a rigid backplate that prevents PCB flex, and packs fans that contain space-grade lubricant and are sealed to IP5X standards. And it’s all backed by a rigorous battery of validation tests to ensure compatibility with the latest TUF components. For gamers that prefer a longer upgrade cycle, these latest TUF graphics cards are an easy decision.
ASUS Dual EVO and Phoenix: Never Stop Gaming
The Dual GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER and Phoenix GeForce GTX 1660 and 1650 SUPER graphics cards are designed for nonstop gaming performance, each with different features to bring more choice to customers. The Dual features two fans with Axial-tech fan design and IP5X dust resistance for powerful cooling and consistent performance. The Phoenix is smaller, with a single fan, perfect for chassis with limited space. It leverages the patented ASUS Wing-blade fan design to produce ample performance despite its diminutive size. Both cards are manufactured using Auto-Extreme technology, which ensures industry-leading reliability for those epic gaming sessions.
