Can My GTX 1660 Super Run Grand Theft Auto V? FPS Estimate & System Requirements (2026)
Estimated GTX 1660 Super FPS for Grand Theft Auto V at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, plus the GPU tier you need for 60 FPS.
Last updated 2026-09-09 · evergreen reference
Wondering "can my GTX 1660 Super run Grand Theft Auto V?" Our estimate puts it at roughly 43 FPS at 1080p, 28 FPS at 1440p and 16 FPS at 4K. The settings that tax Grand Theft Auto V most are population density, shadow quality and advanced graphics (MSAA). FPS figures are editorial estimates from a transparent demand-tier model (TechPowerUp relative-performance indices, retrieved 2026-08-29), not benchmarks. Verify with your own hardware.
Estimated GTX 1660 Super FPS for Grand Theft Auto V
Frame-rate estimate by resolution. "Estimate" means modeled, not measured.
Bottom line
The GTX 1660 Super runs Grand Theft Auto V at 1080p in the 43 FPS range on low–medium settings. It is playable, but you will lean on upscaling and lowered detail to hold 60.
GTX 1660 Super FPS by resolution
Modeled Grand Theft Auto V performance on a GTX 1660 Super (tier 6/9).
| Resolution | Est. FPS | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | 43 | Playable on low–medium |
| 1440p (QHD) | 28 | Struggles — upgrade recommended |
| 4K (UHD) | 16 | Struggles — upgrade recommended |
Verdict for the GTX 1660 Super + Grand Theft Auto V pairing
What to expect and where to aim.
Best target resolution
On a GTX 1660 Super, aim for 1080p with upscaling in Grand Theft Auto V. The GTX 1660 Super runs Grand Theft Auto V at 1080p in the 43 FPS range on low–medium settings. It is playable, but you will lean on upscaling and lowered detail to hold 60.
Settings to hit 60 FPS on your GTX 1660 Super
A starting point tuned to this exact pairing; adjust to taste.
CPU, not your GTX 1660 Super, is the limit
Unlike most titles, Grand Theft Auto V leans on the processor more than the GTX 1660 Super. At 1080p you can already be CPU-limited, so a faster GTX 1660 Super gives diminishing returns — spend the budget on a stronger CPU or faster RAM. The GTX 1660 Super has more than enough pixel-pushing power for Grand Theft Auto V.
VRAM headroom on the GTX 1660 Super
The GTX 1660 Super carries only 6 GB of VRAM. Grand Theft Auto V wants more for Ultra textures, so cap texture/texture-streaming quality one step below Ultra to avoid VRAM-spillover stutter. That change is often worth more than any shadow tweak.
Target 1080p with upscaling
At 43 FPS native 1080p, turn on FSR/DLSS (performance or balanced) and cap the frame rate at 60 to smooth pacing. Reserve higher resolutions for a future GPU upgrade.
Bottleneck analysis: GTX 1660 Super + Grand Theft Auto V
Why this pairing performs the way it does.
What actually bottlenecks Grand Theft Auto V on a GTX 1660 Super
The limiting factor for this specific pairing is your CPU. Grand Theft Auto V spends most of its frame budget on the processor (entity counts, physics, draw calls), so the GTX 1660 Super — a entry-level card at relative index 32/100 — rarely reaches its own limit. Upgrading the CPU yields more FPS than upgrading the GPU here.
What GPU tier Grand Theft Auto V needs
For ~60 FPS targets, based on its demand tier.
Recommended GPU tiers
Nearest real GPUs for each target (estimate).
| Target | Approx. GPU tier needed | Example GPU |
|---|---|---|
| 30 FPS @ 1080p (minimum) | index ≈ 24 | GTX 1650 |
| 60 FPS @ 1080p (recommended) | index ≈ 48 | RTX 4060 Ti |
| 60 FPS @ 1440p (high) | index ≈ 73 | RTX 4070 Ti Super |
How this estimate is calculated
Full transparency on the model.
Method
Grand Theft Auto V is assigned a hardware-demand tier 6/9 from its published requirements (or release era + genre). Each GPU has a relative-performance index (RTX 4090 = 100, source TechPowerUp). FPS ≈ 60 × (GPU index ÷ required index)^0.85, then scaled ×0.66 for 1440p and ×0.38 for 4K. FPS figures are editorial estimates from a transparent demand-tier model (TechPowerUp relative-performance indices, retrieved 2026-08-29), not benchmarks. Verify with your own hardware.
