GeForce GTX 1660 vs Arc A380 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1660 graphics card is better than the Arc A380 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1660 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. Despite this, the Arc A380 has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Arc A380 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1660 at 120 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 is better than the Arc A380.
