Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 3060 Ti makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than GTX 1660 by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the GTX 1660 could be the better value choice in the short term. The RTX 3060 Ti is faster by 79% 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 3060 Ti is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

The RTX 3070 might be the mid-range flagship of the latest Ampere set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most entry-level PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 3060 Ti is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 399. NVIDIA ’s xx60 cards have always been defined by entry-level prices with performance that knocks on the door of mid-range graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Ampere graphics card inside the RTX 3060 Ti, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.

Spec for spec, this RTX 3060 Ti leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 2060 SUPER, by boasting 30.8 % more fps. In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 3060 Ti blows past the RTX 2060 SUPER and, amazingly, even the RTX 2070 as well.

Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 5700 XT, the RTX 3060 Ti was 22.1 % faster. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3060 Ti consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 2060 SUPER and it really justifies an upgrade.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Forspoken, Halo Infinite, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Atomic Heart, Cyberpunk 2077 at 64 fps to 70 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 67 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Red Dead Redemption 2, A Plague Tale: Requiem, F1 22, Dying Light 2, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart at 60 fps to 61 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 61 fps.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Resident Evil 2, Far Cry 5, Far Cry New Dawn, Death Stranding, Resident Evil 4 at 63 fps to 67 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 65 fps.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660

The good news is, with the release of the GTX 1660 Ti, the GTX 1660 's price is getting more discount. NVIDIA ’s xx60 cards have always been defined by entry-level prices with performance that knocks on the door of mid-range graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Turing graphics card inside the GTX 1660, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.

The GTX 1660 is much more cheaper than the GTX 1060 6GB as it costs $ 220. Compare this to the GTX 1060 6GB, which came originally at a price of $ 254. Meanwhile, the closest equivalent card is the which costs. Spec for spec, this GTX 1660 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 1060 6GB, by boasting 28.2 % more fps.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The GTX 1660 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 1060 6GB and it really justifies an upgrade. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Need For Speed: Heat, Far Cry 6, Just Cause 4, Resident Evil 4 at 63 fps to 69 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 66 fps.

For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Spider-Man Remastered, Death Stranding, F1 2019, Far Cry New Dawn at 62 fps to 66 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps. For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Overwatch 2, Valorant at 61 fps to 129 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 95 fps.
