GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER vs GeForce GT 1030 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GPU is faster than the GeForce GT 1030 in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce GT 1030 has a significantly lower TDP at 30 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER at 125 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is better than the GeForce GT 1030.
