Radeon RX 5700 vs GeForce GTX 1660: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 5700 vs GeForce GTX 1660
The Radeon RX 5700 is dramatically faster, around 55% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1660. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 5700 is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1660 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The Radeon RX 5700 currently lists from $145 USD, $10 USD less than the GeForce GTX 1660 at $155 USD. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX 5700 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 65%. The Radeon RX 5700 is trading below its $349 USD MSRP — a genuine deal. The GeForce GTX 1660 is trading below its $219 USD MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the GeForce GTX 1660 is the gentler choice at 120W versus 180W. The Radeon RX 5700 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 180W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Radeon RX 5700 carries 8GB versus 6GB on the GeForce GTX 1660. The extra 2GB 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 5700 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 5700?
The Radeon RX 5700 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 if you find it at a steep discount.
