GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q vs Radeon RX 460 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 460 in gaming.

In our comparison, 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q has a slightly lower TDP at 60 W when compared to the Radeon RX 460 at 75 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q is better than the Radeon RX 460.
