NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
Turing GPU best suited to lighter Blender scenes, learning workflows, and budget-conscious rendering setups.
Last updated: March 31, 2026
804
Entry-level speed — fine for learning and lighter scenes.
6 GB
Limited — best for simpler scenes and lighter workflows.
1,536
Lower core count — adequate for lighter rendering workloads.
Turing
Older architecture — introduced hardware ray tracing for NVIDIA GPUs.
288 GB/s
Lower bandwidth may become a bottleneck in texture-heavy or complex scenes.
1770 MHz
Lower clock speed — typical of older or workstation-class GPUs.
OptiX, CUDA
OptiX is typically the fastest option; CUDA provides a reliable fallback.
120 W
Low power — easy to cool and efficient for smaller builds.
