Radeon RX 6700 XT vs GeForce GTX 1660: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 6700 XT vs GeForce GTX 1660
The Radeon RX 6700 XT is dramatically faster, around 140% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 6700 XT is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The GeForce GTX 1660 currently lists from $70 EUR, $373 EUR less than the Radeon RX 6700 XT at $443 EUR. Despite being slower, the GeForce GTX 1660 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~164% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce GTX 1660 is trading below its $219 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal. The Radeon RX 6700 XT is trading below its $479 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the GeForce GTX 1660 is the gentler choice at 120W versus 230W. The Radeon RX 6700 XT is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 230W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern RDNA 2 architecture on a TSMC N7 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Radeon RX 6700 XT carries 12GB versus 6GB on the GeForce GTX 1660. The extra 6GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Generation & Longevity
The Radeon RX 6700 XT is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1660 (RDNA 2 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 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 6700 XT 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 6700 XT?
Choose the Radeon RX 6700 XT if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce GTX 1660 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
