ASUS Turbo GeForce GTX 960 vs Colorful iGame GeForce GTX 1660 Ultra 6G-V

Comparison of GPU cores for ASUS Turbo GeForce GTX 960 and Colorful iGame GeForce GTX 1660 Ultra 6G-V graphics cards. The GPU core data contains the number of blocks (in the AMD documentation these blocks are called Shader Engine (SE), while Nvidia calls them Graphics Processing Clusters (GPC), words are different, the essence is the same) and ROP/TMUs (Raster Processing Units). These characteristics have a great influence on the GPU computing power.

Here we are going to look at the types of cooling systems for ASUS Turbo GeForce GTX 960 and Colorful iGame GeForce GTX 1660 Ultra 6G-V as well as their sizes and performance. As a rule, fans with larger diameters have an advantage because they can move the same volumes of air while rotating more slowly than smaller fans. It should be noted that liquid cooling systems in addition to fans and aluminum radiators need some kind of pump, which can also be noisy.
