GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti beats the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q in gaming performance.

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 6 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 2060 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 65 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 RTX 2060 Max-Q.
