The Nvidia GTX 1660 and 1660 Super are aging GPUs that aren't the best for playing Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, one of the most demanding games in the current gaming market. However, the new first-person shooter from Ubisoft brings support for DLSS 3 and FSR 3 with frame generation. The Turing-based cards support the latter, which makes the game playable on these GPUs.
Do note that, like most other high-profile releases of the year, the new Avatar game is plagued by optimization issues on PC. You must crank down the settings in the game to maintain playable framerates. We will list the best combinations for the 1660 and 1660 Super in this guide.

The GTX 1660 can play Avatar Frontiers of Pandora at 1080p with the medium settings in the game applied. The graphics card can rely on FSR 3 with frame generation and deliver playable framerates in the game, which adds to the overall smoothness, albeit at the cost of visual fidelity.
