28 Avg FPS Includes estimates

We have not put this card on our bench yet. The numbers below are interpolated from the cards we did measure, on the same suite and the same settings. Across our 12-game suite at 1440p, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 averages 28 FPS. The ceiling is F1 2022 at 50 FPS; the floor is The Last of Us Part I at 16 FPS, a 3.1x spread that tells you how engine-dependent this class of card is. In practical terms that means 1080p gaming, 1440p is a stretch outside older titles. Under load we logged a peak of 120W against the 120W rating.

The silicon

Transistors6,600 million
Die size284 mm²
Fabricated byTSMC
Transistor density23.2 million per mm²

Denser than 11% of the 76 cards we have silicon data for. Density is the clearest measure of what a process node bought: a card that gained it without growing the die got its speed from the fab rather than the architecture.
