Intel Arc A570M vs GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Intel Arc A570M vs GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop

The Intel Arc A570M is significantly faster, around 27% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Intel Arc A570M is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop is better matched to entry-level 1080p.

Power & Efficiency

On power, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop is the gentler choice at 80W versus 95W. The Intel Arc A570M is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 95W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern Alchemist architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The Intel Arc A570M carries 8GB versus 6GB on the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.

Generation & Longevity

The Intel Arc A570M is roughly 4 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop (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 Ti Laptop 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. The Intel Arc A570M also has dedicated ray-tracing hardware that the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop lacks — a real gap if you play ray-traced titles.

Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop or Intel Arc A570M?

The Intel Arc A570M is the faster card by about 27%. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Intel Arc A570M better than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop?

The Intel Arc A570M is significantly faster, roughly 27% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop or the Intel Arc A570M?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Does the Intel Arc A570M have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 8GB (vs 6GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.

Can the Intel Arc A570M or GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop handle ray tracing?

Only the Intel Arc A570M has dedicated ray-tracing cores; the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop lacks them, so ray-traced games will run far better on the Intel Arc A570M.
