GeForce GTX 1660 vs GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER beats the GeForce GTX 1660 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 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. Despite this, the GeForce GTX 1660 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER has slightly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 6 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER at 215 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is faster than the GeForce GTX 1660.
