Radeon RX 580 2048SP vs GeForce GTX 660 Ti comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti in gaming.

The Radeon RX 580 2048SP 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 Radeon RX 580 2048SP also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, both the Radeon RX 580 2048SP and the GeForce GTX 660 Ti have an identical TDP. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP is faster than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti.
