GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q vs GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q beats the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q in gaming performance.

The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. Despite this, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q has a slightly lower TDP at 60 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q over the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q.
