GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER in our tests.

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: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4070 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop is better than the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER.
