GeForce GTX 1070 vs GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GTX 1070 vs GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

The GeForce GTX 1070 and GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER post nearly the same score in our performance index, so neither holds a meaningful raw-speed advantage. Both are best suited to entry-level 1080p gaming. The GeForce GTX 1070 packs 1,920 CUDA cores versus 1,408 on the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER starts at $318 EUR against $347 EUR for the GeForce GTX 1070. Despite being slower, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER offers the better performance-per-dollar (~9% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER still sits about $89 EUR above its $229 EUR MSRP. The GeForce GTX 1070 is trading below its $379 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER draws just 125W versus 150W for the GeForce GTX 1070, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 8GB against 6GB, the GeForce GTX 1070 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER's 6GB can fall short. The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER's memory is also faster — 336 GB/s versus 256 GB/s (192-bit vs 256-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is roughly 3 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1070 (Turing vs Pascal), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1070 or GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER?

Choose the GeForce GTX 1070 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER stretches your money further for near-identical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce GTX 1070 better than the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER?

They're very close on raw performance. The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER edges ahead on value, so price and availability should decide it.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 1070 or the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at entry-level 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the GeForce GTX 1070 worth the extra $29 EUR over the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER comes out ahead.

Does the GeForce GTX 1070 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 8GB (vs 6GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
