GeForce RTX 3070 vs GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 3070 vs GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
The GeForce RTX 3070 is dramatically faster, around 145% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 3070 is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is better matched to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce RTX 3070 packs 5,888 CUDA cores versus 1,408 on the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER.
Price & Value
The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER currently lists from $157 BRL, $3,712 BRL less than the GeForce RTX 3070 at $3,868 BRL. Despite being slower, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER offers the better performance-per-dollar (~906% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is trading below its $229 BRL MSRP — a genuine deal. The GeForce RTX 3070 still sits about $3,369 BRL above its $499 BRL MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is the gentler choice at 125W versus 220W. The GeForce RTX 3070 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 220W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern Ampere architecture on a Samsung 8nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce RTX 3070 carries 8GB versus 6GB on the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The GeForce RTX 3070's memory is also faster — 448 GB/s versus 336 GB/s (256-bit vs 192-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER or GeForce RTX 3070?
Choose the GeForce RTX 3070 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
