GeForce GTX 1660 vs GeForce RTX 4070 Ti benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti beats the GeForce GTX 1660 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 4070 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. In addition, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti has significantly more memory with 12 GiB of memory compared to 6 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti at 285 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti over the GeForce GTX 1660.
