Our Verdict: Upgrading from 680M to GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware. The price/performance ratio is much better for 680M .

680M vs GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q with Core i9-10900K vs i7-8700K at 4K and ultra vs ultra settings

AMD Radeon 680M / Core i9-10900K

With current 1024 MB RAM, the Radeon 680M can have serious memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games. Deciding whether to invest so much money in a high-end GPU like Radeon 680M requires careful thought.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q / i7-8700K

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q is simply ridiculous. At 1440p, GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q can hit 50-60 fps on pretty much everything at ultra, just without antialiasing, less ambient occlusion and turned down shadows. In terms of memory, the GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q 's 6144 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. With regards to max load temperature, the GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q 's cooling is excellent at keeping it cool and under control.
