GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 1660: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 1660

The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is dramatically faster, around 80% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 is better matched to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER packs 2,560 CUDA cores versus 1,408 on the GeForce GTX 1660.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER starts at $287 EUR against $427 EUR for the GeForce GTX 1660. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 167%. The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is trading below its $499 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal. The GeForce GTX 1660 still sits about $208 EUR above its $219 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

The GeForce GTX 1660 pulls less power (120W vs 215W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 8GB against 6GB, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GTX 1660's 6GB can fall short. The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER's memory is also faster — 448 GB/s versus 192 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 or GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER?

The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 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 if you find it at a steep discount.
