Hardware Profile
Overview
The GeForce GTX 1660 Laptop is a budget mobile GPU based on NVIDIA's Turing architecture, carrying 6GB of GDDR5 memory at a TDP range up to 80W. Performance will vary depending on the laptop's thermal design and power limit settings configured by the manufacturer.
As a Turing-generation card without ray-tracing or Tensor cores, it predates NVIDIA's RTX feature set. It delivers solid raster performance for its era and supports NVENC hardware video encoding, making it functional for streaming and content capture. It is paired with a 192-bit memory bus providing adequate bandwidth for 1080p workloads.
The GTX 1660 Laptop is best suited for 1080p gaming in less demanding titles. It represents an entry point for used or refurbished gaming laptops from the Turing era, offering decent everyday gaming performance without requiring ray tracing or DLSS features.

Laptop vs Desktop FAQ
▶Does the GeForce GTX 1660 Laptop have the same specs as the GeForce GTX 1660?
The GeForce GTX 1660 Laptop shares the same core configuration as the desktop GeForce GTX 1660 — 1408 shader units and 6 GB of GDDR5 — but runs at lower clock speeds (1590 MHz vs 1785 MHz boost) and a lower power limit (80W vs 120W). Expect slightly reduced real-world performance compared to the desktop version.
▶How much slower is the GeForce GTX 1660 Laptop than the desktop version?
Based on benchmark data, the GeForce GTX 1660 Laptop scores approximately 9% of the top GPU in our database, while the desktop GeForce GTX 1660 scores 10%. The gap is mainly due to lower clocks and power constraints in the laptop form factor.
