Intel Arc A570M vs GeForce GTX 1660: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Intel Arc A570M vs GeForce GTX 1660
The Intel Arc A570M is dramatically faster, around 40% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Intel Arc A570M is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Power & Efficiency
The Intel Arc A570M draws just 95W versus 120W for the GeForce GTX 1660, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Alchemist architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 8GB against 6GB, the Intel Arc A570M has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GTX 1660's 6GB can fall short.
Generation & Longevity
The Intel Arc A570M is roughly 4 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1660 (Alchemist vs Turing), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1660 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Intel Arc A570M offers Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1660 or Intel Arc A570M?
The Intel Arc A570M is the faster card by about 40%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
