The GTX 1660 and 1660 Super were launched as budget alternatives to the RTX 2060 lineup in 2019. The GPUs are based on the same Turing architecture as the newly launched RTX lineup. However, the GTX-branded GPUs are not capable of ray tracing.

The GPUs pack impressive rasterization performances, in line with the high-end Pascal offerings. Thus, many budget gamers picked these cards over the costlier RTX and RX offerings.

To this date, the cards can handle the latest AAA titles like Hogwarts Legacy and the Dead Space remake without hiccups. However, the settings must be adjusted to prevent major framerate drops. This guide lists the ideal graphics options for the GTX 1660 and the 1660 Super.

The GTX 1660 and the 1660 Super cards are successors of the commercially successful GTX 1060. The GPUs are packed with even more power than the GTX 1070. Upon launch, they were impressive in 1440p as well.

Impressively, even three years after their release, the cards hold up pretty well now that they have access to temporal upscaling formulas like AMD FSR. However, the cards are not ray-tracing capable.
