Radeon RX 5700 vs GeForce GTX 1660: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon RX 5700 vs GeForce GTX 1660

The Radeon RX 5700 is dramatically faster, around 55% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 5700 is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.

Power & Efficiency

On power, the GeForce GTX 1660 is the gentler choice at 120W versus 180W. The Radeon RX 5700 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 180W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The Radeon RX 5700 carries 8GB versus 6GB on the GeForce GTX 1660. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1660 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 5700 offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. 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 Radeon RX 5700?

the Radeon RX 5700 is the faster card by about 55%. 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 Radeon RX 5700 better than the GeForce GTX 1660?

The Radeon RX 5700 is dramatically faster, roughly 55% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 1660 or the Radeon RX 5700?

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 Radeon RX 5700 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.
