Our Verdict: The RTX 2070 is faster by 40% for 1440p gaming. However, GTX 1660 is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from GTX 1660 to RTX 2070 is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is much better for GTX 1660 .
