GeForce RTX 2080 vs GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 2080 vs GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

The GeForce RTX 2080 is dramatically faster, around 73% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 2080 is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is better matched to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce RTX 2080 packs 2,944 CUDA cores versus 1,408 on the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER.

Price & Value

The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER currently lists from $313 EUR, $1,465 EUR less than the GeForce RTX 2080 at $1,778 EUR. Despite being slower, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER offers the better performance-per-dollar (~229% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER still sits about $84 EUR above its $229 EUR MSRP. The GeForce RTX 2080 still sits about $1,079 EUR above its $699 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

At 125W against 225W, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The GeForce RTX 2080 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 2080'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 2080?

Choose the GeForce RTX 2080 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce RTX 2080 better than the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER?

The GeForce RTX 2080 is dramatically faster, roughly 73% ahead. The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER or the GeForce RTX 2080?

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

Is the GeForce RTX 2080 worth the extra $1,465 EUR over the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER comes out ahead.

Does the GeForce RTX 2080 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.
