GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs Radeon RX 5600 comparison

For gaming, the Radeon RX 5600 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti in our tests.

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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti also has a slightly 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. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Radeon RX 5600 at 150 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 Radeon RX 5600 is faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti.
