GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 4060 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4060 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 4060 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 RTX 4060 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 60 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4060 at 200 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 4060 over the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q.
