What does this comparison mean?
Only one FPS separates the GTX 1660 Super and RTX 3050 8GB averages in this workload. That is too little evidence for a meaningful benchmark-speed upgrade; the 3050's extra memory and RTX features are separate considerations.
GTX 1660 Super 6GB has 6GB and RTX 3050 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 3050 8GB
The desktop RTX 3050 launched in January 2022 with Ampere architecture and 8GB of GDDR6. This row does not cover the separate 6GB version.

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.
