GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs Radeon RX 580 2048SP benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti beats the Radeon RX 580 2048SP in gaming performance.

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. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Radeon RX 580 2048SP at 150 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 Radeon RX 580 2048SP.
