Radeon RX 6800 vs GeForce GTX 1660: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 6800 vs GeForce GTX 1660
The Radeon RX 6800 is dramatically faster, around 210% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 6800 is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the GeForce GTX 1660 is the gentler choice at 120W versus 250W. The Radeon RX 6800 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 250W 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 6800 carries 16GB versus 6GB on the GeForce GTX 1660. The extra 10GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1660 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 6800 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?
The Radeon RX 6800 is the faster card by about 210%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
