Is the GTX 1660 Ti Still Good in 2023?

[@horodoomwolf]

Let's also mention that thanks to AMD FSR being available for fairly recent cards (NVIDIA GTX cards and AMD RX 5xx cards), this card can still be relevant for even a bit more longer.

[@topper2910]

Fsr 3.0 bro 🤩

[@jjfig4759]

I got the 1660s and rx5600xt and rx6600 and gtx 1080 and 1080 ti .do ur self a favor skip the all and grab any 1080 or 1080ti .u can find them for cheap and thier the same price as the other cards second hand now and offers the best bang for the buck...

[@moseyburns1614]

I've had my 1660ti going on 5 years now, I can still play pretty much anything at medium-high settings 1080p. Been super reliable for me but it's almost time for an upgrade, it can struggle with some of the more demanding titles lately

[@azan3447]

I just built a pc with 1660ti and I love it. 100 fps max settings in warzone 3

[@KingKuroTV]

I just upgraded from a GTX 1660 paired with a 2600x to a 4060ti with a 5600x. I loved my 1660 build and it served me for about 4 years! The reason I even decided to upgrade was because I stream and want to keep up with some of the more recent games. It's definitely still a totally fine card, given that the games you try to play are optimized (looking at you Jedi Survivor).

[@aveliiu]

How much it cost to upgrade do u still have the 1660 I wanna buy it ?

[@aeroburger]

I’m currently running your old setup

[@KingKuroTV]

@@aeroburger it's definitely a perfectly capable system even these days, as long as the games you try play aren't optimized like shit lol. I upgraded once Star Wars Jedi Survivor came out, and I'll be honest, it barely helped lol

[@aeroburger]

@@KingKuroTV any suggestions to boosting performance on my build? besides the 1660ti and 2600x, I got 16gb of 3200mhz ram in dual-channel. My nvme ssd is a bit on the slower side at 1,700mb/s read and write speed

[@toddsmithselbow1732]

​@@aeroburgerNot really, as long as your ram is really set to 3200 in the bios with xmp on.

[@proseller287]

I got a rog strix g15 right before the pandemic with the 1660ti and it has held up well for the 3 years I have had it and hope it stands for many more

[@xrayindia5998]

It is a very reliable and good card, Been using it and it runs the game almost perfectly, You just have to keep the settings to a "below average level" for a 60+ FPS experience in triple A titles, You can also use this card in your first PC build, It will surely get you into gaming and if you want a good GPU for competitive gameplay, You can rely on this card, Thanks to Nvidia for making this card, This card is the only reason why I still trust in Nvidia.

[@ProYamYamPC]

It was and still is a very good GPU. As you said for competitive games, it's still a very viable graphics card. With the Turing encoder, this can kickstart some streaming careers!

[@xrayindia5998]

​@@ProYamYamPC I wish they made more raw-performance and budget cards like these, Then Nvidia would have destroyed AMD in terms of mid-range GPUs.

[@Kaasbaas045]

Gtx 1660 will always have a special place in my heart, that videocard pulled me through some of my most depressed periods. That thing tooks so much abuse from me, and it never ever gave up on me. Ive replaced that system 1 week ago. But that old box with the 1660 in it now has a special place on a desk of mine. It may sound strange, but I really do love this 1660 for all the stuff it did for me. It has kept running for YEARS with merely taking a break from running, and made sure I had my mind on something else then going psycho in a bloody rage. Absolute unit of a card.

[@gibbalite6004]

Got a gtx 1660 ti for around 100 $ and it runs like a dream for me who only play esports titles

[@franckdcats1527]

I bought my friend's zotac 1660 dual fan for $20, still a beast!

[@ProYamYamPC]

What a steal mate, $20 is insane! Happy gaming

[@localpotatolikesturtles]

20?

[@latlanticcityphil]

I still use theEVGA GTX 1660 TI XC BLACK Single fan model in my modified HP i3 Pavillon PC with SSD, G-skill 16g of dd3 ram

[@grossteilfahrer]

The 1660Ti meant the last upgrade, and extended life for my i7 3770S system, got the 1660Ti out of a lenovo prebuilt (single fan OEM card) used for a gift when they upgraded and i replace the GT640. Running Ubuntu and 32G ddr3-1600 CL9 ram on a gigabyte z77 mobo with the 3770 at 4.3 ghz singlecore and 3.9 all core, no power limits on a Hyper Evo 212 cooler and good airflow case. It does well in ETS2 and world of warships.

[@shawnleasure4460]

I have GTX 1660 super and like the Ti I enjoy every triple AAA title I get my hands on even of 2023 really good card I couldn’t ask for more 😎👍

[@ProYamYamPC]

That's good mate! Having a great gaming experience is what matters!

[@JetScreamer_YT]

I started VR during the pandemic. I did my research. Based upon that and my budget, I found this 1660ti card on eBay. It was just under $400. It was the cheapest one. I don't regret buying it at that price. On most of my VR titles, I am able to get up to 120 frames per second at max settings on some games. And that's wireless! When I'm not using VR, it's fast enough for my 1080p 165hz monitor. High to highest settings. I think it'll be VR capable into the next few years. I've seen them go down as low as $150 now.

[@calebnunley112]

Got mine for 170$

[@Logan_93]

Got mine for 100. Triple fan variant too.

[@AquaticXGhost]

I got a Dell OEM 1660ti on Mercari for 80 bucks.. I got a steal of a deal.

[@thomaswwwiegand]

I still use a GTX 960 and look to get a GTX 1660 TI used this days, so see your viedo

[@RepublicFREEman]

I to still use a GTX 960 and am also thinking about GTX 1660TI used.

[@thomaswwwiegand]

@@RepublicFREEman During my walk though 2nd hand parcels I found a GTX 1660 super for 3.500 Baht, or near 100 US$ - less then 50% of the selling new nearby. I bought it around a week ago. The advantages are clear, like a favorite game minetest instead 1080p with 48% does it now at 1440p at 12%. Location : Thailand, Chiang Mai - and that super and also the Ti are offered around 3.250-3.900 Baht around here. Now I want to assemble the left over items like the GTX 960, a MB, CPU and RAM to another PC for other use.

[@Reetyh]

wohoo same over here mate! that looks like a great upgrade, paired with my i5-6500

[@Ironicalyy]

i got the gtx 1660 ti single fan and it's still usable, i can play minecraft and fortnite, had to replace the termal paste but it is still good

[@ProYamYamPC]

Good to hear mate. For those types of games, the 1660 Ti is still more than enough. I'm working with a 1660 Super for some upcoming content, and that performs well at 1080p in a lot of games.

[@josuemartinez7113]

I have a 1660 ti on a Lenovo Legion. I’m hoping it doesn’t go out of style anytime soon

[@ProYamYamPC]

It’s got a good few years left yet I reckon. Maybe some newer AAA games would struggle because of the 6GB of VRAM. But eSports and indie games will run just fine

[@grossteilfahrer]

@@ProYamYamPC My son has the T530 tower with 1660Ti and i5 9400F. He recently sidegraded to a 1070 triple fan card for the 8 G vram, useful in scrapmechanic and beam NG drive. I got his oem 1660 singlefan to make the last upgrade to my i7 3770 system replacing a GT640. We got the 1070 for free as "broken" , but it only needed new thermal paste. I also repasted the 1660Ti oem and got 10C temp drop on it. I used the rest of a 15 years old syringe of white sticky "electrolube HTC" I had around from building a dual athlon system way back when - seems to work great.

[@NotYours-bp5fx]

Just got my first pc with a amd 3 1200 an a 1660ti im happy with it plays any gome i need at high settings above 45 fps not no complaints for 200 dollar

[@disclaimer4211]

i still have a 1660ti, and because NVidia basically gave the gpu manufacturers free reign with this card, we ended up with some of the 1660Ti's having WAAAAAY faster memory clock speeds and sometimes higher core clock speeds than the Then released 2080Ti at the time, and it performed almost perfectly at 1080p at the time. Although because my card has been put through rough 4 years of being in my pc, i think its time for an upgrade here pretty soon, so I might grab a 40 series card since the performance uplift compared to my card is Pretty overwhelmingly justifiable at 1080p since i just don't see any point in 1440p and 4k other than probably getting an expensive monitor and letting off the gas on my cpu... so i might just buy a really good cpu with alot of cores so that my 40 series card wont bottleneck at 1080p. I actually think the 40 series is fast but it was too fast for this generation because of the cpu's that are available that cant meet the requirements it needs for the graphics card released by NVidia this generation meaning that the cpu's are at their limit when it comes to 1080p right now for the most part (this is excluding the 4060 series because it sucks and its just a rebranded 3060/3070Ti), so i think that when amd and intel release new cpu generations, we might see a really good uplift in performance for the 40 series and amd's RX 7000 series.

[@spg3331]

my main system is running a 3060 rn, but i have a bit of a collection of older gpus like : 10 460's, a 760, 560,470 and a 9600 GT. just sold a 1050TI tho and a Winfast A400

[@spg3331]

Love your content btw!

[@ProYamYamPC]

Nice choices! I have a 3080 FE in my main system. But I have a bunch of older GPUs lying around: GTX 660, 650 Ti, RX 470 4GB and more!

[@a.hussain593]

Is it silent the model you have or very quiet?

[@EricHouserecho1284]

I have this with an i7 9700 and it works great three years strong

[@ProYamYamPC]

That’s a very good pairing!

[@char7490]

i just bought this card for my SFF pizzabox shape case PC with a small 300W power supply and micro atx motherboard and its the perfect card for it. Fits super well inside (needed to use risers) and I can play all my favourite triple A games at 1080p ultrawide with high settings. I could have gotten a 3060 but the power output would be too high and I had a 1660S before but sold it and finally got my hands on the TI.

[@ProYamYamPC]

As long as it runs all of your games well, that’s the main thing! What sort of games are you playing?

[@Kabir_28465]

Hey man currently im using a rx580 and the cpu im using is the ryzen 5700g Im thinking about getting the 1660ti do you think is worth it? im on a tight budget

[@ProYamYamPC]

It will provide a bit of an upgrade. However, I would recommend saving up for a more powerful GPU which would net you a more substantial performance uplift. The 5700G is a good CPU and it will handle GPUs as powerful as the 3060 Ti.

[@MikeMiller-g8l]

just upgraded from a 1660ti to a rx 6700 xt

I don't se the point of not capping your fps accordingly with your monitor Hz.

Do u know if it would bottleneck if i run it paired with my i5-6500? 24gb of ram if it matters. I'm thinking of using it with or at least upgrade from a GTX 950

[@WI5EBLOOD]

Would you say it'd be fine to run this card with a Corsair CX450M ? I have a Aorus B450, with 16GB 3200MHz and a Ryzen 5 5600G. Wondering if 450W would be enough to be on the safe side.

[@ProYamYamPC]

According to Techpowerup. This will run with a 350W PSU. I think you will be fine. But I would recommend upgrading your power supply in the future

[@ilaccci8032]

It runs perfectly with a 450w bronze psu i bought one like 4 days ago and there is no problem with the power it gets

[@WI5EBLOOD]

@@ProYamYamPC right on, thanks. I just got a Gainward Ghost GTX 1660 Ti. The card is well built, VRMs are all cooled unlike my old Asus card. Good to see Gainward back at making some pretty decent GPUs.

[@grossteilfahrer]

My son's prebuilt lenovo haas a 430W psu with this card, so you're probably good, if on the narrow margin side. I use it on a 2008 vintage orange corsair VX550.

[@upfront2375]

Does a 1660ti Gigabyte OC model without the box (the seller lies that the owner's mom threw it way lol), knowing that he definitely mined on it since I've seen him selling many mining GPUs claiming he only has 1 of each + is selling mining rigs and PSUs too, on the condition of a 30min 3D or furmark test before buying with 1 week return; worth it in your opinion? BTW I already bought and returned a rx580 from the same guy bcoz it was thermal throttling in gaming mode and could never hit it's rated 1366mhz. 😂The audacity of the guy telling me "U shouldn't switched from compute mode!!" so the low 1120 clock could cover up the card's age and with 25-40% less perf.

[@ProYamYamPC]

From my experience, ex mining GPUs are fine, but they NEED some cleaning. If you clean it out and apply fresh thermal paste, you should be good to go

[@p.granger8824]

Unless it’s Really Cheap, why not just get a newer used RX 6600? The price differences are not that great anymore. That one probably hasn’t been mined on.

[@upfront2375]

@@ProYamYamPC Thanks man. I bought a rx580 from another seller, it was super clean and after applying some undervolt it still gets over 6k on Superposition while staying around 78C in 30C ambient. When the test warranty time ran out I opened it and repaste it, also changed the cheap vram pads. It did cut off 2C off of the temp... but boi the AMD drivers SUCK!!! after doing everything for a month to stop the random restarts and crashes, I finally installed the *Pro Radeon* in "drivers only mode" and it's stable now

[@upfront2375]

​@@p.granger8824 I agree, when buying mined cards it's nice to count the possible mileage on a card. The xfx card that I bought is made in 21, one of the last ones they made in assembly due to mining craze and has a totally different bios and box. that's why it was the cleanest inside. You're totally right tho, the 6x series and even 5x cards are mined for less time. But in general now that I know better, the gddr5 cards if they're working well and have a safe testing period by the seller they're perfectly fine to buy and are 100% steal for 60-120$, I bought the rx580 for 48$ btw

[@shentelmckinnon7843]

Hi, I know nothing about PC gaming, but my son has asked for a computer this year, I'm wondering if these specs would hold up in apex legends, fortnite type games. ROG Strix G10DK Gaming Desktop PC, AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, GeForce GTX 1660TI, 12GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Windows 11 Home, G10DK-BSR56XTI-CB Grey Thanks in advance!

[@frenzyhera3823]

Late reply but answer is yes. It's still strong on 2024, It could handle games such as Cyberpunk 2077 or any high graphical games. Except of like adventures high graphics games.

[@frenzyhera3823]

If you're son does editing i wouldn't recommend using ryzen for processor, I would recommend using intel. And 13th gen or 12th gen. And if your son mostly has background apps opened like discord, or chrome. I recommend 32 gb ram aswell, for motherboard it depends on you. I have no knowledge for motherboard.

[@neilmontgomery3470]

How much should you ask for a ROG Strix GTX 1660 TI. I am thinking of moving onto an RTX Card. I live in England.

[@ProYamYamPC]

The Strix models are higher end ones so this would help. I would say maybe around £110-130ish if you list it on eBay.

It does depend on a lot of factors. Like what games are you playing, what power supply do you have, and what CPU do you have? Also the resolution you’re playing at makes a big difference in a GPU buying decision too.
