Radeon RX 6600 vs GeForce GTX 1070: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 6600 vs GeForce GTX 1070
The Radeon RX 6600 is significantly faster, around 36% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1070. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 6600 is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1070 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce GTX 1070 starts at $347 EUR against $436 EUR for the Radeon RX 6600. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX 6600 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 9%. The GeForce GTX 1070 is trading below its $379 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal. The Radeon RX 6600 still sits about $106 EUR above its $330 EUR MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Radeon RX 6600 draws just 132W 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 RDNA 2 architecture on a TSMC N7 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Generation & Longevity
The Radeon RX 6600 is roughly 5 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1070 (RDNA 2 vs Pascal), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1070 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 6600 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 1070 or Radeon RX 6600?
The Radeon RX 6600 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 1070 if you find it at a steep discount.
