About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q2 2019. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU116) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,500 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 288 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q includes 1,536 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,140 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,335 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 96 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 60 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q has the 130th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 16.65% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q1 2023 with a MSRP of $799. It is built on the Ada Lovelace GPU microarchitecture (codename AD104) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.
Memory
The RTX 4070 Ti has 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, with a 1,313 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 504.2 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The RTX 4070 Ti includes 7,680 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,310 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,610 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 240 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 80 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 240 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 60 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The RTX 4070 Ti occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 285 W.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The RTX 4070 Ti has the 6th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 72.19% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 75,612 score and $799 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 94.63. This is the 22nd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
