GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER vs Radeon R5 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GPU is faster than the Radeon R5 in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER has a significantly 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 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 Radeon R5 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER at 125 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is faster than the Radeon R5.
