GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti beats the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 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 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti over the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop.
