GeForce GTX 1660 vs RTX A2000 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the RTX A2000 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 significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the RTX A2000 has a significantly lower TDP at 70 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1660 at 120 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the RTX A2000 over the GeForce GTX 1660.
