GeForce GTX 1660 vs RTX 2000 Ada Generation benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the RTX 2000 Ada Generation GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1660 in gaming.

The RTX 2000 Ada Generation 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 RTX 2000 Ada Generation also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the RTX 2000 Ada Generation has a significantly lower TDP at 70 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1660 at 120 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the RTX 2000 Ada Generation over the GeForce GTX 1660.
