Radeon RX 6800 vs GeForce GTX 1660: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 6800 vs GeForce GTX 1660
The Radeon RX 6800 is dramatically faster, around 210% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 6800 is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The GeForce GTX 1660 currently lists from $230 EUR, $956 EUR less than the Radeon RX 6800 at $1,186 EUR. Despite being slower, the GeForce GTX 1660 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~66% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon RX 6800 still sits about $607 EUR above its $579 EUR MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the GeForce GTX 1660 is the gentler choice at 120W versus 250W. The Radeon RX 6800 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 250W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern RDNA 2 architecture on a TSMC N7 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Radeon RX 6800 carries 16GB versus 6GB on the GeForce GTX 1660. The extra 10GB 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 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 6800 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 6800?
Choose the Radeon RX 6800 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.
