GeForce GTX 1060 6GB vs GeForce GTX 1660 Super

Measured verdict

  • GTX 1660 Super is 48% faster at 1080p Medium (57.7 vs 85.5 FPS)
  • GTX 1660 Super is 46% faster at 1080p Ultra (32.1 vs 46.8 FPS)
  • GTX 1660 Super is 45% faster at 1440p Ultra (23 vs 33.3 FPS)

Tom's Hardware GPU hierarchy, 2022–24 suite, read 5 Oct 2026. Average FPS, the geometric mean of eight games — Borderlands 3, Far Cry 6, Flight Simulator, Forza Horizon 5, Horizon Zero Dawn, Red Dead Redemption 2, Total War: Warhammer 3, Watch Dogs Legion — on a Core i9-12900K.

The GTX 1660 Super is about 46% faster on Tom's Hardware's 2022–24 suite, and the margin barely moves with resolution: 48% at 1080p Medium, 46% at 1080p Ultra, 45% at 1440p Ultra. ComputerBase's GTA V test has it 28% ahead (61.2 vs 47.9 FPS). Neither card has ray-tracing hardware, but only the 1660 Super meets CD PROJEKT RED's minimum for The Witcher 3 Remastered.

Game by game

A game we hold a benchmark table for is shown at that table’s settings. A card the table measured shows its measured number, the same on every page; a card it didn’t is fitted: placed between the measured cards either side of it in speed, so it is also the same on every page. The gap is shown only where both cards were measured.

Modelled rows have no benchmark table: GamerSpecs estimates at 1080p, each game at its own page settings. They all share one ratio: our calibrated scores put the GTX 1660 Super at 1.43× the GTX 1060 6GB (57 vs 40, RTX 4060 = 100), so a row differs only where the game’s own limit applies.
