GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER vs Radeon RX 590: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER vs Radeon RX 590

The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is dramatically faster, around 57% ahead of the Radeon RX 590. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.

Power & Efficiency

At 125W against 225W, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The Radeon RX 590 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 590 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 590?

The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is the faster card by about 57%. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER better than the Radeon RX 590?

The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is dramatically faster, roughly 57% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER or the Radeon RX 590?

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.

Does the Radeon RX 590 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.
