GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER vs Radeon RX 6700S benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon RX 6700S graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER in our tests.

The Radeon RX 6700S has a slightly 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 Radeon RX 6700S 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon RX 6700S has slightly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 6 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon RX 6700S has a significantly lower TDP at 80 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.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon RX 6700S over the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER.
