Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 3070 makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than GTX 1660 SUPER by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the GTX 1660 SUPER could be the better value choice in the short term. The RTX 3070 is faster by 98% for 1440p gaming. However, GTX 1660 SUPER is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from GTX 1660 SUPER to RTX 3070 is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

The RTX 3080 might be the high-end flagship of the latest Ampere set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 3070 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 499. The good news is, with the release of the RTX 3070 Ti, the RTX 3070 's price is getting more discount.

NVIDIA ’s xx70 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Ampere graphics card inside the RTX 3070, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. Spec for spec, this RTX 3070 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 2070, by boasting 48 % more fps.

In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 3070 blows past the RTX 2070, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER and, amazingly, even the RTX 2080 as well. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3070 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 2070, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER and it really justifies an upgrade.

Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 6800, the RTX 3070 was -9.4 % slower. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play The Last of Us Part I, Forspoken, Halo Infinite, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Atomic Heart at 66 fps to 79 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 75 fps.

For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Hogwarts Legacy, Dead Space, Red Dead Redemption 2, Halo Infinite, Assassin's Creed Valhalla at 66 fps to 72 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 68 fps. For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Battlefield 2042, Final Fantasy XV, Hitman 2, Watch Dogs: Legion, Hitman 3 at 62 fps to 66 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

The good news is, with the release of the GTX 1660 Ti, the GTX 1660 SUPER '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 SUPER, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.

Spec for spec, this GTX 1660 SUPER leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 1060 6GB, by boasting 35.8 % more fps. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The GTX 1660 SUPER 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 Anthem, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Need For Speed: Heat, Far Cry 6, Just Cause 4 at 62 fps to 72 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 68 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play GreedFall, Hitman 2, World War Z, Death Stranding, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 at 61 fps to 66 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Overwatch 2, Valorant at 63 fps to 133 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 98 fps.
