The GTX 1660 Ti was launched as a cheaper alternative to the costlier RTX 2060 Super in 2019. The card is faster than the last-gen GTX 1070 and can handle most video games at 1440p without major performance issues. It, however, lacks support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing and Nvidia's temporal upscaling formula, DLSS.

That said, the launch of AMD's upscaling tech, FSR, has rejuvenated these older GPUs. The card can handle most of the latest AAA releases at up to QHD by rendering the game at a slightly lower resolution.

In addition, Atomic Heart is pretty well optimized on PC. Thus, gamers can play it with some tweaks to the settings without major stutters or framerate drops.

The GTX 1660 Ti is quite a capable card on paper. It is based on the TU116 graphics processor, a cut-down version of the TU106 that powers the RTX 2060 lineup.

The card packs 6 GB of video memory and was introduced for $280, making it a solid budget choice for gamers building a sub-$1,000 gaming PC.
