Gaming performance

With an index of 31/100, the NVIDIA GTX 1660 is a solid midrange card for 1080p at high settings and 1440p at balanced settings. It covers the vast majority of current games without major sacrifices.

VRAM: what resolutions it handles

With 6 GB of VRAM it is comfortable at 1080p with medium-high settings in most games, though the newest releases already ask for 8 GB for high textures. Moderating texture quality is advisable in the latest AAA titles.

Technologies & features

Predating the RTX architecture, it has no ray tracing cores or DLSS. It can use software upscalers such as AMD's FSR (compatible with any GPU) or XeSS in generic mode to gain FPS in supported games.

Frequently asked questions

Is the NVIDIA GTX 1660 good for gaming in 2026?

For competitive games and older titles, yes. For modern AAA games, the NVIDIA GTX 1660 (index 31/100) requires lowering graphics quality or resolution to keep playable frame rates.

How much VRAM does the NVIDIA GTX 1660 have and is it enough?

It has 6 GB of VRAM. Tight for modern AAA games, which already ask for 6-8 GB even at 1080p; no problem for esports and older titles.

What power supply do I need for the NVIDIA GTX 1660?

A quality 550-650 W power supply is sufficient for this card alongside a midrange processor, safety margin included.

Is the NVIDIA GTX 1660 worth it versus newer alternatives?

Launched in 2019, it only makes sense at a clearly lower price than current cards of similar performance, which add more modern upscaling technologies, lower power draw and full warranty. On the second-hand market it can be a reasonable option if the price is right.
