Radeon RX 5700 XT vs GeForce GTX 1660: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 5700 XT vs GeForce GTX 1660
The Radeon RX 5700 XT is dramatically faster, around 80% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 5700 XT is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce GTX 1660 starts at $230 EUR against $1,128 EUR for the Radeon RX 5700 XT. Despite being slower, the GeForce GTX 1660 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~172% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon RX 5700 XT still sits about $729 EUR above its $399 EUR MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GTX 1660 draws just 120W versus 225W for the Radeon RX 5700 XT, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 8GB against 6GB, the Radeon RX 5700 XT has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GTX 1660's 6GB can fall short.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1660 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 5700 XT 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 or Radeon RX 5700 XT?
Choose the Radeon RX 5700 XT if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce GTX 1660 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
