AI Summary
The GeForce GTX 1660 delivers solid 1080p gaming with average frame rates around 60‑70 FPS in titles such as Devil's Hunt and STAR WARS Squadrons, making it an affordable mid‑range choice. Priced at $219, it outperforms entry‑level cards like GeForce GTX 1650 Super and is a cheaper alternative to the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti while lacking the newest RT features.
Pros
- Strong 1080p performance—averaging 60‑70 FPS in most modern games
- Competitive price ($219) gives a good bang for the buck compared to the newer GTX 1660 Ti and entry‑level GTX 1650 Super
- 6GB of GDDR5 memory provides ample texture bandwidth for current titles
- Efficient power consumption (~120W) allows use in small or budget builds
Cons
- Performance drops off at 1440p and higher resolutions; many titles average only 40‑50 FPS at 1440p ultra
- No dedicated ray‑tracing cores, so modern titles with RTX will not benefit
- Being a 2019 Turing GPU, it lacks the latest driver optimizations and future‑proof features like DLSS
- GDDR5 memory and older architecture mean it will struggle with newer titles demanding higher bandwidth
