So like...will the 1660TI be a better card than the GTX 1080? Cuz it's a higher number?

gpt
No. The first two numbers are the 'generation' of the card, the last two numbers are the relative power of the card within that generation. So the 1080 was better than the 1070, and the 1560 is better than the 1550. 
  
 The relative strength from one gen to another depends on how much of an incremental improvement has happened in between.
