GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs Radeon RX 570: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs Radeon RX 570

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is dramatically faster, around 83% ahead of the Radeon RX 570. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

The Radeon RX 570 currently lists from $97 GBP, $242 GBP less than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti at $339 GBP. Despite being slower, the Radeon RX 570 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~91% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon RX 570 is trading below its $169 GBP MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

At 120W against 150W, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 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 GeForce GTX 1660 Ti carries 6GB versus 4GB on the Radeon RX 570. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is roughly 2 years newer than the Radeon RX 570 (Turing vs GCN 4.0 (Polaris)), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 570 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 Ti or Radeon RX 570?

Choose the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Radeon RX 570 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti better than the Radeon RX 570?

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is dramatically faster, roughly 83% ahead. The Radeon RX 570 is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti or the Radeon RX 570?

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.

Is the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti worth the extra $242 GBP over the Radeon RX 570?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the Radeon RX 570 comes out ahead.

Does the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 6GB (vs 4GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
