ASUS Unveils GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER ZAKU II EDITION Graphics Card

ASUS has been super hyped-up about the popular Japanese military science fiction media franchise/media mix called GUNDAM, where the company has developed multiple products based on the series. Starting with the all-white GUNDAM GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards to the latest edition of ASUS TUF Gaming X3 GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER ZAKU II EDITION graphics card, ASUS seems to be loving the fiction universe of GUNDAM. The latest GTX 1660 SUPER graphics card is a factory overclocked design with a slight improvement to the boost speed. The GPU will boost up to 1830 MHz, representing a mere 2.5% improvement. The rest of the specifications match the reference GTX 1660 SUPER design with 1408 CUDA cores and 6 GB of GDDR6 14 Gbps memory.

However, the main appealing and marketing thing about this card is not its overclocking speeds, but rather its aesthetics. It features Char's MS-06S ZAKU II Mobile Suit color scheme, which is a red colorway. It comes in a 2.7 slot body with a triple-fan cooling system, and a special red backplate with some stylish character animation.

Wow red plastic shroud, much expensive, they'll probably charge an arm and a leg for it.

I think we have a case here of old stock that has to be repurposed.

There is still no new replacement for the 1660 Super, the RTX 3050 is yet to be released

Better hope they wont release 3050. Othereise 3050 will cost 250 euro and ti 300. Terrible prices.

Asthetically, I really like it, but only 'cause it would fit right into my "Big Red One" themed case..... however I would like it way moar if it were a more recent card, like a 2080ti or even a 3xxx...

But they gotta clear out those old chips out of the supply chain somehow, so cheers to Asus for their efforts, hehehehe :D

Me likey! Especially that backplate :love:

Sadly, like all of the other GUNDAM products Asus has done, I highly doubt this card will have a North American release :(
