1070 vs 1660 ti: Nvidia GTX 1070 vs 1660-Ti

GeForce GTX 1070 vs GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Graphics cards Comparison

When comparing GeForce GTX 1070 and GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, we look primarily at benchmarks and game tests. But it is not only about the numbers. Often you can find third-party models with higher clock speeds, better cooling, or a customizable RGB lighting. Not all of them will have all the features you need. Another thing to consider is the port selection. Most graphics cards have at least one DisplayPort and HDMI interface, but some monitors require DVI. Before you buy, check the TDP of the graphics card — this characteristic will help you estimate the consumption of the graphics card. You may even have to upgrade your PSU to meet its requirements. An important factor when choosing between GeForce GTX 1070 and GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is the price. Does the additional cost justify the performance hit? Our comparison should help you make the right decision.

Performance

GPU clock speed

1506MHz

1500MHz

The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.

GPU turbo

1683MHz

1770MHz

When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.

pixel rate

96. 4 GPixel/s

84.96 GPixel/s

The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.

floating-point performance

5.78 TFLOPS

5.44 TFLOPS

Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.

texture rate

180.7 GTexels/s

169.9 GTexels/s

The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.

GPU memory speed

2000MHz

1500MHz

The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.

shading units

Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.

texture mapping units (TMUs)

TMUs take textures and map them to the geometry of a 3D scene. More TMUs will typically mean that texture information is processed faster.

render output units (ROPs)

The ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, writing the final pixel data to memory and carrying out other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the look of graphics.

Memory

effective memory speed

8000MHz

12000MHz

The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.

maximum memory bandwidth

256GB/s

288GB/s

This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.

VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.

memory bus width

256bit

192bit

A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.

version of GDDR memory

Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.

Supports ECC memory

✖Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070

✖Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.

Features

DirectX version

DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

OpenGL version

OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

OpenCL version

Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.

Supports multi-display technology

✔Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070
