Overall Combination Score 52/100 60/100 8 (15%)
Our Verdict: At 1440p, GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q can hit 50-60 frames per second on pretty much everything at ultra, just without antialiasing, less ambient occlusion and turned down shadows. Whereas RTX 2070 Max-Q Refresh can hit 50-60 frames per second at maximum settings. Upgrading from GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q to RTX 2070 Max-Q Refresh 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 RTX 2070 Max-Q Refresh .

GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q vs RTX 2070 Max-Q Refresh with i7-8700K vs Core i9-10900K at 4K and ultra vs ultra settings

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.
