GeForce GTX 660 vs GeForce GTX 760 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 760 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 660 in gaming.

By comparing the spec sheets, both the GeForce GTX 660 and the GeForce GTX 760 have the same base clock speed.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce GTX 760 has slightly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 3 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 660 has a slightly lower TDP at 140 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 760 at 170 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 760 is better than the GeForce GTX 660.
