GeForce GTX 660 vs GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 660 in gaming.

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 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 4070 SUPER also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 660 has a significantly lower TDP at 140 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER at 220 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 4070 SUPER is better than the GeForce GTX 660.
