In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Galax EX 1-Click OC 6GB are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 780.
The GTX 1660 Ti has a 637 MHz higher core clock speed than the GeForce GTX 780, but the GeForce GTX 780 has 96 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 1660 Ti. As a result, the GeForce GTX 780 exhibits a 21.7 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GTX 1660 Ti. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 1660 Ti has a 637 MHz higher core clock speed than the GeForce GTX 780 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GTX 1660 Ti providing 30.6 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GTX 1660 Ti was released over three years more recently than the GeForce GTX 780, and so the GTX 1660 Ti is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GeForce GTX 780 when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The GTX 1660 Ti has 3072 MB more video memory than the GeForce GTX 780, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, overall, the GeForce GTX 780 has superior memory performance.
The GeForce GTX 780 has 0.4 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 1660 Ti, which means that the memory performance of the GeForce GTX 780 is marginally better than the GTX 1660 Ti.
The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Galax EX 1-Click OC 6GB has 1536 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 780 has 2304. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 1660 Ti is 2811 and the actual shader performance of the GeForce GTX 780 is 2078. The GTX 1660 Ti having 733 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 1660 Ti delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GeForce GTX 780.
The GTX 1660 Ti transistor size technology is 16 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GeForce GTX 780. This means that the GTX 1660 Ti is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GeForce GTX 780.
The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Galax EX 1-Click OC 6GB requires 120 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 780 requires 250 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the GTX 1660 Ti and a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the GeForce GTX 780. The GeForce GTX 780 requires 130 Watts more than the GTX 1660 Ti to run. The difference is significant enough that the GeForce GTX 780 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 1660 Ti.

| Mini Review | Overview GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Galax EX 1-Click OC 6GB is a mid-range GeForce 16 Series graphics card and considered a great price to performance 1080p graphics card based on the Turing architecture. This is a dual-slot graphics card with a dual 90mm cooling fan solution, triple heat pipe heatsink, RGB Effect lighting, anti-bend backplate, and Galax Xtreme Tuner 1-clock overclocking. This video card has average overclocking potential. Architecture The Turing architecture represents a process shrink down to 12nm compared to 14nm Pascal. Unlike the RTX series, the GTX series does not support real-time ray-tracing. However, a lower quality version of DXR ray-tracing will be enabled in a future software update. GPU It equips a Turing GPU codenamed TU116, more specifically TU116-400-A1, which has 1536 Shader Processing Units, 96 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and 24 SMs. The central unit runs at 1500 MHz and goes up to 1830 MHz in Boost mode, providing a small 3% overclock versus the reference model. Memory The GPU accesses a 6GB frame buffer of first-gen GDDR6 memory through a 192-bit memory interface, while the Memory clock operates at 1500MHz, or 12GHz effective. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 120W, it requires at least a 450W PSU with an 8-pin power connector. System Suggestions GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Galax EX 1-Click OC 6GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 2560x1440, but is ideally suited for 1080p gaming. We recommend a mid-range Processor and at least 16GB of RAM for optimal performance. | GeForce GTX 780 is a high-end graphics-card based on the 28nm, Kepler architecture. It's based on the Kepler GK110 Core (same used on Titan) but with 12 SMX activated and therefore offers 2304 Shader Processing Units, 192 TMUs and 48 ROPs on a 384-bit memory interface of fast GDDR5. While the central unit runs at 863MHz and goes up to 902MHz in Turbo, the memory clock operates at 1502MHz. It consumes up to 250W. Benchmarks indicate that its performance is up to 30% better than previous GeForce GTX 680 and thus allows even the most demanding games to be playable at the highest settings, at 1080p. With proper overclocking and cooling, it can surpass GeForce GTX Titan. | |||
