GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs GeForce RTX 5050 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5050 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 5050 has a significantly 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. In addition, the GeForce RTX 5050 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 5050 at 130 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 5050 is faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti.
