GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q vs GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q 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. Despite this, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q at 60 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 GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop over the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q.
