GeForce GTX 1660 vs GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1660 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 GTX 1660 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 RTX 5050 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 50 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 RTX 5050 Laptop is better than the GeForce GTX 1660.
