GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER vs Radeon R5 240 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER graphics card is better than the Radeon R5 240 in our tests.

Our database shows that 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Radeon R5 240 has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER at 125 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 GTX 1660 SUPER is faster than the Radeon R5 240.
