GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs GeForce GTX 650 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 650 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti has a slightly 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 650 has a significantly lower TDP at 64 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti at 120 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is better than the GeForce GTX 650.
