GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs GeForce GTX 980 Ti: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs GeForce GTX 980 Ti

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is dramatically faster, around 44% ahead of the GeForce GTX 980 Ti. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.

Power & Efficiency

At 120W against 250W, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.

Memory & Bandwidth

The GeForce GTX 980 Ti's memory is faster β€” 337 GB/s versus 288 GB/s (384-bit vs 192-bit bus) β€” which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is roughly 4 years newer than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti (Turing vs Maxwell), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1660 Ti or GeForce GTX 980 Ti?

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is the faster card by about 44%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above β€” particularly VRAM and power draw β€” and check current stock before buying.
