Frequently asked questions about the GeForce GTX 1660
Which power supply does the GeForce GTX 1660 need?
Card TDP: 120 W. We recommend a PSU of at least 450 W from a quality maker (Seasonic, Corsair, be quiet!, Cooler Master). Cheap PSUs without 80+ Gold can cause reboots under load.
How much VRAM does the GeForce GTX 1660 have?
VRAM: 6 GB GDDR5. Memory bus: 192 bit. For modern AAA games at 1440p+ with RT effects, this may not be enough.
Is the GeForce GTX 1660 good for 4K gaming?
Depends on expectations. In current AAA games at 4K@ultra: not recommended — better used at 1440p or 1080p.
Which is better: the GeForce GTX 1660 or the Radeon RX Vega 64?
We have a detailed comparison: GeForce GTX 1660 vs Radeon RX Vega 64. The short answer depends on your needs: NVIDIA is better in some games, the rival in others. Also factor in price and supported technologies.
Does the GeForce GTX 1660 support DLSS or FSR?
Yes, the GeForce GTX 1660 supports DLSS (NVIDIA's AI upscaling). FSR is supported too, but on NVIDIA, DLSS usually looks better.
Which CPU pairs best with the GeForce GTX 1660?
To avoid a CPU bottleneck, for the GeForce GTX 1660 we recommend: Ryzen 5 7600 / Core i5-12400 / Ryzen 5 5600 — for 1080p / 1440p without overspending.
How loud is the GeForce GTX 1660?
FPSHQ does not measure noise; it depends on the cooler of a specific version (ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, Palit, PNY, etc.). Official power is 120 W — low: there is little heat, so even compact versions can run quietly. Models are compared by power on the “Quietest graphics cards” page.
What are the GeForce GTX 1660's length and slot size?
Dimensions depend on the specific vendor model. Reference versions are usually 2.5–3.5 slots and 28–32 cm long. ASUS ROG / MSI Suprim X / Gigabyte AORUS — up to 3.5–4 slots and 32–36 cm. Before buying, check that the card fits your case (especially in Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX builds).
Can the GeForce GTX 1660 be overclocked?
Yes, via MSI Afterburner or GPU Tweak III you can raise the Core Clock by 100–200 MHz and the Memory Clock by 500–1500 MHz with little risk. The FPS gain is usually 3–7%. For safe overclocking, set the power limit to max, raise clocks gradually and test stability in OCCT/3DMark.
Will the GeForce GTX 1660 still be relevant in 2027–2028?
Depends on the card's class. D-class cards will be pushed to medium settings in new AAA games within 2–3 years. That is normal — just keep it in mind when buying.
Where is the best place to buy the GeForce GTX 1660?
