Overall Combination Score 52/100 60/100 8 (15%)
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 RTX 3060 Max-Q can hit 50-60 frames per second at maximum settings. Upgrading from GTX 1660 Ti Mobile to RTX 3060 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 RTX 3060 Max-Q .

GTX 1660 Ti Mobile vs RTX 3060 Max-Q with i7-8700K vs Core i9-10900K at 4K and ultra vs ultra settings

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile / i7-8700K

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.
