Performance review at 1660 Ti Strix OC FPS. Considered issues?
Adjustments made to performance settings and display resolution. High frame rates achieved in open areas but drop significantly elsewhere. Current FPS hovers around 55-60 despite a high-end card. Considered upgrading to 1080 Ti, but cost concerns remain. Performance feels suboptimal compared to other titles, possibly due to optimization issues. Smooth gameplay appears challenging at this setting.
The 1080ti would definitely offer more power. The 1660ti's performance at 1440p depends on your own tastes, and if you feel like something isn't working for you, that's valid. If I suggested a 1440p card, I'd stick to something above the 2060, since appearance matters most.
My 1080p performance with my heavily overclocked GTX 1660 shows a stronger card than yours (likely between 1660 Ti and 2060), but 1440p feels rough. This GTX 1660 was once the top performer, breaking world records before. In short, I suggest sticking to 1080p for smoother play.
The variation is notable yet modest; it's achievable via overclocking provided adequate cooling is in place. Pursuing this route may require adjusting the power constraints of the graphics card.
Looking to boost performance beyond 1070 Ti in games? You're thinking of customizing the setup. Searching for "OC 1660 Ti Strix" could help you find the right tweaks and configurations.
I didn't think about the various "notable" improvements. It seems to change based on the game, but I'd estimate around 10-12% more performance, which means under 10fps in most titles at 1080p. If you applied that to his average of 55 in Tomb Raider, it adds just about 6.6fps. Moving him from 55 to 62fps. I don't believe that would satisfy him. I wouldn't suggest purchasing a card that relies on overclocking for good speed—it's too risky. From what he said, he wants "much more" than 60fps, which I'd call high refresh rate. I think he actually needs a better GPU than the 2060 for that. Especially if he ends up with something that barely keeps up at 1440p in the FPS he's aiming for now, it's likely to be the same situation within a year.
