What does this comparison mean?

The GTX 1660 Super has 6GB and belongs to Turing's GTX range; the desktop RTX 5050 has 8GB and uses Blackwell. The 5050 leads the continuous benchmark, but its RTX feature set and the extra 2GB should be evaluated separately from the FPS difference.

GTX 1660 Super 6GB has 6GB and RTX 5050 8GB has 8GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.

The two GPUs in context

GTX 1660 Super 6GB

The GTX 1660 Super launched in October 2019 with Turing architecture and 6GB of GDDR6. It remains a GTX model rather than an RTX card.

RTX 5050 8GB

NVIDIA announced the desktop RTX 5050 with Blackwell architecture and 8GB of GDDR6 for July 2025. The laptop configuration uses different memory.

How the figures are compared

Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.

GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. Full benchmark method.
