Radeon RX 5700 vs GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon RX 5700 vs GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

The Radeon RX 5700 is significantly faster, around 36% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 5700 is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is better matched to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER currently lists from $318 EUR, $108 EUR less than the Radeon RX 5700 at $426 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX 5700 wins on performance-per-dollar. The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER still sits about $89 EUR above its $229 EUR MSRP. The Radeon RX 5700 still sits about $77 EUR above its $349 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

At 125W against 180W, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The Radeon RX 5700 carries 8GB versus 6GB on the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER. The extra 2GB 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 SUPER brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 5700 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 SUPER or Radeon RX 5700?

The Radeon RX 5700 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 SUPER if you find it at a steep discount.
