Notes

The GeForce GTX 1660 features 6GB GDDR5 memory on Turing architecture without ray tracing hardware, providing budget 1080p gaming with modern architecture efficiency. This GPU delivered solid 1080p performance with 1,408 CUDA cores at accessible pricing. Built for 1080p gaming on tight budgets. Despite being previous generation with GDDR5 memory and no ray tracing, it remains functional for 1080p gaming at medium-high settings. Often available at budget pricing on secondary market, making it suitable for entry-level gaming builds where 1080p performance matters more than ray tracing capabilities.
