GeForce GTX 660 vs GeForce RTX 4060 Ti benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 660 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 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 RTX 4060 Ti also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti has significantly more memory with 8 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 RTX 4060 Ti at 160 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 RTX 4060 Ti is better than the GeForce GTX 660.
