RX 5700 XT vs GTX 1660 Super

With the GTX 1660 Super running 27% above the RX 5700 XT — a $80.00 premium — the two cards sit in meaningfully different price brackets. The RX 5700 XT wins on value unless the extra performance matters for your workload.

Power consumption is a meaningful differentiator here: the GTX 1660 Super draws 125 W versus 225 W for the RX 5700 XT. That 100 W gap can determine whether your existing PSU is sufficient and will show up in long-term electricity costs.

As an NVIDIA card, the GTX 1660 Super gives you access to DLSS 4 super-resolution and Frame Generation, which can meaningfully lift frame rates in supported titles. The RX 5700 XT counters with FSR 4, which is open-source and works across a wider range of games — including some that don't support DLSS. Which ecosystem matters more depends on the games in your library.

For most buyers at this price point, the RX 5700 XT is the practical choice — unless DLSS or a large VRAM advantage specifically matters to your use case.
