GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER in gaming performance.

Our database shows that 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 slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 50 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop is faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER.
