Power & Efficiency

The GeForce GTX 1660 pulls less power (120W vs 215W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt β€” plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 8GB against 6GB, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GTX 1660's 6GB can fall short. The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER's memory is also faster β€” 448 GB/s versus 192 GB/s (256-bit vs 192-bit bus) β€” which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1660 or GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER?

Choose the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 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.
