GeForce GTX 1660 vs GeForce GTX 960: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 1660 vs GeForce GTX 960
The GeForce GTX 1660 is dramatically faster, around 233% ahead of the GeForce GTX 960. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce GTX 1660 packs 1,408 CUDA cores versus 1,024 on the GeForce GTX 960.
Price & Value
The GeForce GTX 1660 currently lists from $230 EUR, $410 EUR less than the GeForce GTX 960 at $640 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 1660 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 828%. The GeForce GTX 960 still sits about $441 EUR above its $199 EUR MSRP.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce GTX 1660 carries 6GB versus 2GB on the GeForce GTX 960. The extra 4GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The GeForce GTX 1660's memory is also faster — 192 GB/s versus 112 GB/s (192-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce GTX 1660 is roughly 4 years newer than the GeForce GTX 960 (Turing vs Maxwell), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1660 or GeForce GTX 960?
The GeForce GTX 1660 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 960 if you find it at a steep discount.
