GeForce GTX 660 vs GeForce MX570 A specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 660 graphics card is better than the GeForce MX570 A in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 660 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. Despite this, the GeForce MX570 A has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce MX570 A has a significantly lower TDP at 25 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 660 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 660 is better than the GeForce MX570 A.
