GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 2070 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. Despite this, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER has slightly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 6 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER has a significantly lower TDP at 125 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER at 215 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER.
