NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 vs AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

GeForce GTX 1660 vs Radeon RX 7900 XTX specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1660 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX 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. In addition, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX has significantly more memory with 24 GiB of memory compared to 6 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Radeon RX 7900 XTX at 355 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX is faster than the GeForce GTX 1660.
