NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

Blender score 779

Turing GPU best suited to lighter Blender scenes, learning workflows, and budget-conscious rendering setups.

Last updated: March 31, 2026

Blender benchmark score

779

Entry-level speed — fine for learning and lighter scenes.

VRAM

6 GB

Limited — best for simpler scenes and lighter workflows.

CUDA cores

1,408

Lower core count — adequate for lighter rendering workloads.

Architecture

Turing

Older architecture — introduced hardware ray tracing for NVIDIA GPUs.

Memory bandwidth

336 GB/s

Lower bandwidth may become a bottleneck in texture-heavy or complex scenes.

Boost clock

1785 MHz

Lower clock speed — typical of older or workstation-class GPUs.

Render support

OptiX, CUDA

OptiX is typically the fastest option; CUDA provides a reliable fallback.

TDP

125 W

Low power — easy to cool and efficient for smaller builds.

Release year

2019
