GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 870M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 870M in gaming.

In our comparison, 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. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 870M has a slightly lower TDP at 100 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 GTX 870M.
