Hi there I'm new to your channel and I can say right away that i love it, from introduction to provide information , I want to say thank you for This great content and keep up the great work
I got this card for less than £100 in 2020 (before the gpu prices went crazy!) and it’s served me really well. I’m more than happy to continue using it until a really good deal on a newer graphics card comes along! Also, first video I’ve seen from you, good stuff! Reminds me of the RandomGaminginHD channel 🙂
Wow insane is that used?
@@Dark_Wizard_of_Mu It was one of those 'Used Like New' offers from Amazon Warehouse, it was £93 in 2020 but it was brand new from what I could tell since everything was still sealed (maybe customer return where they just changed their mind but never used it)
@@monkeh86 I got mine for 50 bucks cuz I traded it with my old gtx 1050 ti gpu.. it was a steal!
Great video! Amazing quality, as always!
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Great video! I have the MSI Gaming X model. 4 years old and still has some bang.
I noticed you recommend Zero Dawn be played at high with this GPU.
I played that game on the same GPU. Benchmark is not presentable to the actual gameplay.
You need to tone down most stuff to medium to get that 60 FPS mark.
Thanks for letting me know! I use the in game benchmark purely because it’s repeatable (very useful for comparisons).
I have GTX 1660s.. Recently upgraded from RX 570 4GB. Great content my noble friend. 😇
Hey i also have rx570 and am thinking of buying gtx1660s. Is it worth it in ur opinion
@@uslolmemes5272 yes it is worthy and a considerable upgrade only if you're fine with 6GB vram and ready to compromise all those eye candy settings by a little. I bought this because I don't want any used GPUs and a new GPU is costly as you know. So this 16s matched my pocket and also I am happy with the increase in fps (few games gained like more than 60% fps)
@@uslolmemes5272I have the card and it runs like 90 fps on apex with stretch res and it runs fn on 100 fps in pubs with stretch csgo with 300 fps in competitive and 260 in valorant and 80 on war zone overwatch 2 with 120 fps halo on 270
@@uslolmemes5272it’s not a bad card it’s just getting a bit old now
@@Bootymuncher23 oh i see , i have changed my mind , i am going for rx6600
I've had a pre-built with a 1660ti it handles everything I have thrown at it on max settings.
nice video, appreciate the effort
Thank you!
Hi sir I have a zotac amp gtx 1660 and using it for 4 yrs and I'm planning get a rtx 3070/3070ti or rx 6700xt nitro plus in the used market would the gtx 1660 still hold up for games like assetto corsa with mods in high settings or should I get a new one
Thanks for reviewing these budget cards. Im looking to upgrade the PC I built in 2019 ( 1660 Super, 10th gen i3, and a cheap mobo) After watching, i think $300 upgrade for CPU and MOBO will be better than a $300 GPU
This is the card i went with before the prices went through the roof, i got it brand new for 200 euro, which, in 2019, wasn't bad at all, and yes, it is still in my rig to this day, paired with a i5 6500, the platform starts to show its age, but a new rig is on its way, and i will transfer the gpu over, no need to upgrade for the kind of games that i play. You don't always need the top of the line to have fun, some people were mocking me for buying this card, but i said the same thing and they seemed to agree that, after i showed them what this card can do, it is a pretty descend option for casual gaming.
As long as you're happy with your gaming experience, that's what matters!
Changing the motherboard and CPU for a newer platform will be a huge upgrade to your gaming performance.
nice, i got a similar setup. i5 6600k @ 4.10ghz with 1660 works well with any games, although i might upgrade it to an i7
The 5600g and and a GTX 1660 is my setup. I'm quite happy with it. If you wanna play in 1080p high settings you don't need more stuff.
I agree! it's a great pairing and the 5600G can even handle more powerful GPUs too, so you're also set for an upgrade!
I can not get my device to recognize my GPU please help
Same setup with the 5600 and 1660
@@jeffro2430 I don't know I just pluggef the GPU and worked without a problem. What's your issue? No posting?
what gou can 5600g handle under 250 euro ????@@ProYamYamPC
I have a 1660 6gb, and it's running well. Got for around $120.
I play VR on it all of the time!
where do you bought it?
@@jefersonrodriguez1802I just bought one for like $60 on the used market but I got lucky for that good of a price
Legendary content
Used the heck out of my GTX 1660 (ASUS TUF Gaming 3 fan edition) for a while till I got my NVIDIA RTX 3060 I now have. Great video.
I'm glad you enjoyed! I had a 1660 Ti when it laucnhed and that got used a lot too, until I upgraded to the legendary 1080 Ti!
This is a VR monster! I bought it during the night (Edit: height) of the pandemic. Almost $400! But I'm not mad, because it exceeded my expectations! Without overclocking!
120fps on most VR games. I changed the thermal paste and cleaned the fans, and at idle it's only 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Sometimes it goes over 150 degrees Fahrenheit, but you really have to push it.
I don't anticipate having to replace it for a few years.
Man, me to dude. It was literally at the height of the gpu shortage and I just wanted a pc so badly so with my dumb brain I bought the gpu for I think $380, thinking it was a good deal then I realize a year later the gpu was literally cheaper than I initially thought it was. Now I'm thinking of selling it and buy myself an rx 6700 xt lol. But it was a good gpu nonetheless, played a ton of games with it, and lots of it were AAA games.
400$ for a 1660 Super is a ripoff you can get those used for like 150 EUR now
@@Outlawproductions582 There was a pandemic going on. Plus a chip shortage as a result. It was a bad time to need a good video card.
Edit: I upgraded to an rx6800, and 5600x. I basically changed everything except the computer case.
A lot of benchmark videos out there, but when someone does a commented one like this it's a much better video overall.
Im using a 1660S OC and it is serving me pretty good for 1080p144, and 1080p60 high settings on AAA
This will be an interesting one as even the 1660s/1660ti have struggled in a few of the newest AAA “Plague Tale 😱”
I need to check that one out in future. Thanks for the heads up!
i have that game and never played it maybe ill try it and see. Ive not had trouble with many games unless the developers dont optimize their games like cod, rising storm 2, cyberpunk all horrid in terms of optimizations.
This card is starting to show its age even the TI editions. I have this card on a second build which I like to have 2 PCs one high end and one Mid range but man I really hope AMD and an Nvidia come out soon with their budget ones if we can even say that word anymore lol. Oh and Intel too but ima skip on their first Gen of cards and wait till the next Arcs
The midrange GPU market has pretty much vanished in the past 3 years😅 According to some rumours, TSMC have received a massive order from Intel, so it looks like the 2nd gen Battlemage GPUs are on their way.
Trying to find for a prebuilt on newegg right now
I also play most games at 2k , more recently death stranding and wreckfest
It's so weird that they revamped all of the 16 series cards with GDDR6 EXCEPT the 1660.
Yo i need help whats the best cheap cpu for the 1660 the normal version that is gddr5
@@Reoo123I would pick up a cheap B450/B550 board and Ryzen CPU for $100-$150
but for future games especially the ones on UA5, this card is pretty much done for, I'm expecting it to run below 60 fps even at low settings, I'm already seeing that with titles like hogwarts and dead space.
Om Dead Space you can get like 60fps average on max settings with fsr quality
Lol I'm literally running Hogwarts legacy at 60fps mid to high on 1660 super
I’m running 1660 ti lil overclocked on Hogwarts high setting 60 fps
Is ryzen 5 5600x or i5 12400f good for gtx 1660
I ordered one for $90 for my extreme budget pc build. currently with a new psu and the 1660 ordered im still under $200
Can you compare it with RX 5500XT 8GB?😊
Cool video. Interesting to see what is available on the Nvidia side of things. I decided to go with the RX 5600XT.
So for 80 euros is a pretty good deal, thanks! :)
Will you please make a video on 1650
I will try. But the problem is they just aren't good value here in the UK. They only cost a tiny bit less than the 1660, and at that point, you may as well spend the extra money on the 1660.
I also bought it in March 2024 MSI SUPER GAMING X 1660 6GB ITS QUITE GOOD
1660 is great for me, I have it overclocked fairly high and I use the image sharpening feature at 70%
with an app or on nvidia?
@@matteo-nq1le nvidia features
and you can OC the GTX1660 too, it can reach 4500mhz on memory.
Do you think the 5600G is holding any frames back? Doesn't the fact it is Gen 3 interfere with the potential?
I don't see why it would hold it back. The 1660 has a PCIe gen 3 x16 interface.
@@ProYamYamPC Sorry, I was meaning for all videos rather than just this one.. going forward. :)
@@grantpaterson1016 ah, my mistake. On newer GPUs it would potentially be an issue. It is something I’ve thought about, if needs be, I’ll upgrade to something like the 5800X3D or something similar.
@@ProYamYamPC Thanks for that. No mistake by you, I wasn't clear in my first comment...my bad. :)
The 5600 is already a much better CPU than the 5600G, with the obvious caveat that it doesn't have an integrated GPU, whereas the 5600G has a very decent integrated GPU which is great (for the price) for playing a lot of older games and some newer games.
My cousin recommended me this gpu . Ngl lie all the game's look really good
If the radeon 780M can reach gtx1060,i hope nxtyear 8000U APU can do 1660/super performance 😂
i have a gtx 750 rn and trying to upgrade will this be a good gpu to run game like fivem and such bc the 750 is terrible
The 1660 should be fine for FiveM
ive tried fiveM on my 1660 i think my cpu holds it back because fivem is very cpu heavy but its pretty good
@@1Percentt1 u have a i5 3330 750 gtx my pc is ass rn
As a guy who doesnt really play heavy games (mainly roblox and pubg) its an absoulute win.
Me who’s trying to run minecraft with shaders :(
Used to have the gtx 1660 ti it was a good card before 2560x1440p 60 fps on medium settings but I upgraded to the rx 6800 xt and now looking for my next upgrade
Ether the rx 6950 xt or the rx 7900 GRE 🤔 or I could get a rtx 3090.
A gpu that won't bottleneck a Ryzen 7 5800X3D.
And something that would cost less but still perform good for
2560x1440p 240hz🤔
I have the same specs and my gpu is hitting 75 degrees celesius, is it normal or should I send it to repair
75C for a 1660 Ti is fine. I wouldn’t worry
@@ProYamYamPC nice, thanks for responding 😄
What u think about this pc graphic card gtx 1660 super 6gb

Great choice on the hard drive. But no SSD?
I am not looking for a race car but I am looking forward to another farm vlog.
Please test small gtx 1060 3 gb because it is super budget and can be bought for 50 dollars or less
I've recently picked up a 4GB RX 470 for £30. Video comming soon! That could fulfil your budget needs!
Rx 570 upgrade to gtx 1660 , is it good ?
I think 2060 is better else go with 1660ti
im running gtx 1660 super, i didn't expect i was able to get 70+fps in cyberpunk with medium high mix settings and fsr on quality lol.
Pretty sure the 1660 super is like 20 percent more performance than the 1660
i wish everyone would just get a 1080 or the ti version and enjoy fantastic gaming for alot cheaper.
missing some features though isnt it?
@@haveacigar5291like?
The 1660 Ti with 3 display ports is OK (barely) running 5760 x 1080. I can't get past 60 FPS. Unigine Valley benchmark it won't break 50 FPS in 5760 x 1080, EVE Online PEGS the GPU useage at 100%, but can't break 60 FPS with Quality settings.
Lower your resolution man what are you doing lmao. This card is for 1080p. Why on earth would you even want to game at 4k+? Horrible performance on even the highest end stuff.
I have this one should i get a rtx 4060?
If you're still happy with the performance. Keep it for a bit. The 4060 isn't the best value GPU. A 6700 XT would be a better option
Put total wars games in your benchmarks :)
They are more CPU bound anyway!
Me when I had this fps -10
is this good for ryzen 7 5700G?
rapid bottleneck forsure
Recommendation for Ryzen 7 5700G?
I got 1660 Super for £86 in Czechia - great deal... After few months, I bought 3060Ti for £150, so i dont think that £112 for basic 1660 is good deal, even tho its still great gpu
Just ordered used 1660 oc gigabyte for 100eur to pair it with i7 4770, 24gb ddr1800 and some ssds in my htpc for casual gaming on large tv. 😊
i've....good videocard 1080p
Did you get it bnew?
No, used
Ok! The GeForce GTX 1660 IS REALLY GOOD GOOD FOR ROBLOX and fortnite
What about pubg
I can’t say for sure, but I imagine the performance would be great
Ewww, gross. This card would be fine as a low-end card if it's cheap enough. It's basically a GTX 1060, which was a great card in its day... But it's 2023 now.
AMD 6000 series and Intel A700 series cards are much, much better than this out-dated junk. You don't want to skimp out on your graphics card. If you can possibly afford it, an RX 6600 or A750 is the bare minimum that you should be considering, especially for a new system. As an upgrade for an older system, a 1660 could make sense... for the right price...
Not everyone has the money for a 6600 or an A750. You totally missed the point of the video...
You sounded like a spoilt kid who pretty much built PCs with mummy's credit card. No offense but not everyone has the budget to buy the latest GPU especially market price is high on different countries.
I'm happy with my current Gaming laptop that runs on GTX1080Ti and still runs good till this day.
Its like 15 to 20% faster than a 1060. And for the price paid for here, its alright.
But I agree, the gtx 1660 is not a very good deal all the time. The 1660s is quite a bit better. Or get a used rx6600.
However in some circumstances the 1660 would make sense.
not everyone has the budget to buy the latest GPU moron
I’d agree that for some people the 1660 would be fine for right now if it is purchased for the right price. However, the newer rx cards have come way down in price. A rx6600, sometimes even an xt can be had used for not that much more than a 1660.
I think the issue here is that a lot of sellers bought some of these older cards when graphics prices were through the roof. Many have no point of reference for how little the card is currently worth. All they know is they bought it for a mind boggling $250 or something.
Someone selling an Rx 6600 will very much know the new market price for it, which is currently less than $200- Brand New.
While I don’t think the 1660 cards are “junk” i do think their useful longevity is questionable. You have to keep that in mind if you will be playing newer games. I wouldn’t buy a 1660 unless it was really inexpensive, like $50-$60.
Maybe around $80 for a super. That’s about all they’re worth compared to the used prices of newer cards.
why is this card 540 euros in my country Slovenia , for fuck sake .
what cpu do i get for it
Ryzen 5 3600 is a great budget option
