Radeon RX 6800 XT vs GeForce GTX 1660: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 6800 XT vs GeForce GTX 1660
The Radeon RX 6800 XT is dramatically faster, around 270% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 6800 XT is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce GTX 1660 starts at $70 EUR against $600 EUR for the Radeon RX 6800 XT. Despite being slower, the GeForce GTX 1660 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~132% 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 6800 XT is trading below its $649 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GTX 1660 pulls less power (120W vs 300W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster Radeon RX 6800 XT draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern RDNA 2 architecture on a TSMC N7 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 16GB against 6GB, the Radeon RX 6800 XT has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GTX 1660's 6GB can fall short.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1660 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 6800 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 6800 XT?
Choose the Radeon RX 6800 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.
