Radeon RX 6800 vs GeForce GTX 1660 Ti: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon RX 6800 vs GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

The Radeon RX 6800 is dramatically faster, around 182% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 6800 is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is better matched to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti currently lists from $160 USD, $225 USD less than the Radeon RX 6800 at $385 USD. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX 6800 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 17%. The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is trading below its $279 USD MSRP — a genuine deal. The Radeon RX 6800 is trading below its $579 USD MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

On power, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 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 Ti. 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 Ti 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 Ti or Radeon RX 6800?

The Radeon RX 6800 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti if you find it at a steep discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Radeon RX 6800 better than the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti?

The Radeon RX 6800 is dramatically faster, roughly 182% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti or the Radeon RX 6800?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at 1440p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the Radeon RX 6800 worth the extra $225 USD over the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti?

Often yes — despite the higher price the Radeon RX 6800 delivers better performance-per-dollar here.

Does the Radeon RX 6800 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 16GB (vs 6GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
