GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 16 GB vs GeForce GTX 660
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 16 GB |
| Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 660 |
| 150 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 16 GB . |
| Supports PhysX |
| Supports G-Sync |
| Supports ShadowPlay (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
| Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Kepler), there are less performance optimizations for current games and applications |
HWBench recommends GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 16 GB
Based on theoretical specifications.
