GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER vs Radeon Vega 8 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER beats the Radeon Vega 8 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, 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. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 8 has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER at 125 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER over the Radeon Vega 8.
