GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 860M benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 860M in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER has a significantly 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER also has a significantly 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 GTX 860M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER over the GeForce GTX 860M.
