Technical Analysis
Detailed breakdown of GeForce GTX 1660 Ti specifications and capabilities.
Graphics Performance
The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti scores 12,747 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Mid-Range tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Turing (2018−2022) architecture (codename: TU116), manufactured on a 12 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 1536 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 96 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 48 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 5.437 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1770 MHz from a base of 1500 MHz.
