We are currently not going to do a standard AMD vs NVIDIA comparison, but will focus on the two best-selling green graphics cards (with the RTX 2070 SUPER license, of course), in this case the mid-range though should reduce gambling on Full HD resolution and 60 FPS for free .
Technical Comparison: GTX 1660 Ti vs RTX 2060

TDP | 120 W | 160 W |
Price (basis) | € 290 | € 330 |
First of all, the RTX 2060 has a noticeable advantage over the GTX 1660 Ti, and has Tensor and RT cores, which means it benefits from technology-like technology. DLSS and it is Track Ray, the incoming GTX. That will provide, a priori, benefit depending on the quality of the graphics but also on performance goals, and it will be very noticeable.
By that a great harvestand the RTX 2060 is an obvious winner having a large number of CUDA cores and TMUs; Although operating at low speeds, performance will obviously improve with lower temperatures and greater overulsing line. As for memory, both graphics cards have the same size and technology (GDDR6 in this case), but that RTX 2060 is faster and offers better performance.
In terms of consumption and heat, there is a winner the GTX 1660 Ti because it consumes 40 watts less and slightly warm. This will depend on the heatsink you put into the mixer in each case, but a priori and according to our tests, the GTX 1660 Ti rarely exceeds 65ºC, while the RTX 2060 (reference at least) reaches 74ºC. This translates into that the GTX makes a little noise.
In the end, the GTX 1660 Ti is slightly cheaper depending on the price, although as usual it will depend on the store, whether or not it is available, and the model selected in each case (above we have put together two Zotac models for comparison).
Which graphics card should you buy?
If you are looking for a good medium graphics card that can stream any game with full HD resolution with great image resolution, both are great options, although it is true that the RTX 2060 has the obvious benefit of performance and has Ray Tracing. Both of these images, in fact, are capable of moving any current game to 1440p and even 4K when cast, although in these cases you may have to rest the image settings to be able to reach 60 FPS.
In any case, with the price difference between both graphs, we selected RTX 2060 as the winner, because we consider inflation in this case to be appropriate.
