GeForce GTX 1660 vs Radeon Pro 5700: 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

2019

Why buy it

✅2.5% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Costs $580 less on MSRP ($219 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
✅Delivers 270.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 53.1 vs 14.4 G3D/$ ($219 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
✅Measures 229mm instead of 267mm, a 38mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

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.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

GeForce GTX 1660 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 2.5% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 1.5% in PassMark G3D (11,639 vs 11,469), so the answer here is pretty clean.

Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?

Radeon Pro 5700 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 8 GB vs 6 GB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 7nm process instead of 12nm, and a newer 2020 generation instead of 2019. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce GTX 1660 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $580 cheaper on MSRP at $219 vs $799, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 270.2% (53.1 vs 14.4), so the value case lines up with the gaming result. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, GeForce GTX 1660 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, Radeon Pro 5700 has the stronger long-term case.
