Is the GeForce GTX 1660 Super right for you?
If you find a used 1660 SUPER at a genuinely low price and mainly play older esports or AAA from the late 2010s at 1080p, it's a reasonable stopgap for casual budget gaming.
If you want to play any current AAA game at decent settings with ray tracing or modern upscaling, the 1660 SUPER's missing features and tight 6GB VRAM hold it back significantly.
Before you buy
Only at a very low used price for budget esports or older AAA gaming. The missing DLSS and ray tracing support, plus the tight 6GB VRAM, make modern AAA difficult. Modern alternatives are vastly better.
No. The 1660 SUPER is the non-RTX variant of Turing, with no ray tracing cores. Any game using RT runs with effects disabled. For RT, you need at least an RTX 20-series card.
Yes. The SUPER uses faster GDDR6 memory and delivers meaningfully better performance for typically only slightly more on the used market. Worth the small price premium over the original 1660.
The RTX 3060 is meaningfully faster with ray tracing, DLSS support, and 12GB VRAM versus 6GB. For modern gaming, a used 3060 is a far better card for similar money.
