GeForce GTX 660 vs GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 660 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop 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 GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 660 at 140 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop over the GeForce GTX 660.
