GeForce RTX 3080 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 3080 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is dramatically faster, around 255% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is better matched to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti packs 10,240 CUDA cores versus 1,408 on the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER starts at $313 EUR against $896 EUR for the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti wins on performance-per-dollar by about 24%. The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER still sits about $84 EUR above its $229 EUR MSRP. The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is trading below its $1,199 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER pulls less power (125W vs 350W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 3080 Ti draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern Ampere architecture on a Samsung 8nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 12GB against 6GB, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER's 6GB can fall short. The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti's memory is also faster — 912 GB/s versus 336 GB/s (384-bit vs 192-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER (Ampere vs Turing), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER or GeForce RTX 3080 Ti?
The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER if you find it at a steep discount.
