About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (Mobile)

2020

Why buy it

  • 1.7% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 50% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (6 GB vs 4 GB).
  • Less risky long-term buy than Radeon R9 Fury + Fury X: it remains the more sensible modern option while Radeon R9 Fury + Fury X is already legacy-tier future-proofing.
  • Draws 50W instead of 275W, a 225W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Limited future-proofing: older hardware, 6 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in upcoming AAA games.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 15.0 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $649 MSRP).

Radeon R9 Fury + Fury X

2015

Why buy it

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (Mobile) better than Radeon R9 Fury + Fury X?
Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (Mobile) averages 1.7% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 10,119 vs 9,741 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (Mobile) is the overall package: you are getting a newer generation, no meaningful modern upscaling stack, plus much lower power draw (50W vs 275W).
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (Mobile) is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2015, more VRAM at 6 GB instead of 4 GB, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling, and a 12nm process instead of 28nm. That extra memory headroom makes it the safer pick for newer games, heavier textures, and higher settings over time.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (Mobile) is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (Mobile) is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $649 MSRP, and you are getting 1.7% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 3.9% higher G3D Mark. Radeon R9 Fury + Fury X really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.
Is Radeon R9 Fury + Fury X still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon R9 Fury + Fury X is 2015 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM, 9,741 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
