GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (Mobile) vs Tesla T4: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (Mobile)

2020

Why buy it

  • Draws 50W instead of 70W, a 20W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 6 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Older hardware, 6 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 5.4 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $1,880 MSRP).

Tesla T4

2018

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 5.4 vs 0 G3D/$ ($1,880 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 33.3% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 6 GB).

Trade-offs

  • Older hardware, 8 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • 40% higher power demand at 70W vs 50W.
