GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER in gaming.

The GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop 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 RTX 4060 Laptop also has a slightly 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 RTX 4060 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 115 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 RTX 4060 Laptop over the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER.
