GeForce GTX 1660 vs RTX A5000 Laptop comparison

In our benchmarks, the RTX A5000 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1660 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1660 has a significantly 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 GeForce GTX 1660 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1660 has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the RTX A5000 Laptop at 140 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 A5000 Laptop over the GeForce GTX 1660.
