Quick Answers

So, is Radeon PRO V710 better than GeForce GTX 1660?

Yes. Radeon PRO V710 is clearly the better overall GPU here. Radeon PRO V710 averages 49.0% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 12,000 vs 11,639 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon PRO V710 is a 2024 card with FSR upscaling, while GeForce GTX 1660 is a 2019 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Radeon PRO V710 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2024 generation instead of 2019, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 6 GB, better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 5nm process instead of 12nm. That extra memory headroom makes it the safer pick for newer games, heavier textures, and higher settings over time.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Radeon PRO V710 is about 813.2% more expensive on MSRP at $2,000 MSRP versus $219 MSRP, and you are getting 49.0% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 3.1% higher G3D Mark. GeForce GTX 1660 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. If you are comfortable paying the premium for the stronger gaming result, Radeon PRO V710 is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, GeForce GTX 1660 still makes more sense on price alone, but the performance trade-off is much harder to justify by current standards.

Is GeForce GTX 1660 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. GeForce GTX 1660 is still a strong gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. This mostly comes down to price. If you want to stay closer to $219 MSRP, it remains a strong choice; if you are comfortable paying more, Radeon PRO V710 earns that extra money with a clearly stronger gaming result and a more complete overall package.
