Our Verdict: At 1440p, GTX 1660 Ti Mobile can hit 50-60 frames per second on pretty much everything at ultra, just without antialiasing, less ambient occlusion and turned down shadows. Whereas RX 6650M XT can hit 50-60 frames per second at maximum settings. The RX 6650M XT is faster by 44% for 1440p gaming. For 1080p games, upgrading from GTX 1660 Ti Mobile to RX 6650M XT is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is much better for RX 6650M XT .
In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of GTX 1660 Ti Mobile is simply ridiculous. At 1440p, GTX 1660 Ti Mobile 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 Mobile '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 Mobile 's cooling is excellent at keeping it cool and under control.
In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RX 6650M XT is simply ridiculous. In terms of memory, the RX 6650M XT 's 8192 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. In short the performance is exceptional, there's no question that this is one of the most powerful single GPU out there in 2025 .
What to Consider Before Buying a Graphics Card
