GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs Radeon Vega 8 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti beats the Radeon Vega 8 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, 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. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 8 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 Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti at 120 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is better than the Radeon Vega 8.
