GeForce GTX 1660 vs Radeon RX 560: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 1660 vs Radeon RX 560
The GeForce GTX 1660 is dramatically faster, around 400% ahead of the Radeon RX 560. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Power & Efficiency
The Radeon RX 560 pulls less power (60W vs 120W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce GTX 1660 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern Turing architecture on a TSMC 12nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 6GB against 2GB, the GeForce GTX 1660 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon RX 560's 2GB can fall short.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce GTX 1660 is roughly 2 years newer than the Radeon RX 560 (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 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 560 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 560?
The GeForce GTX 1660 is the faster card by about 400%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
