Garry's Mod on GeForce GTX 1660 Super
Yes. The GeForce GTX 1660 Super is well above Garry's Mod's recommended spec. We estimate ~105 fps at 1080p high (range 84–126, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~74 fps on high). Its 6 GB of video memory covers the 4 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |

| low | 179 | 125 | 75 |
| medium | 137 | 96 | 57 |
| high | 105 | 74 | 44 |
| ultra | 84 | 59 | 35 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: high preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: low preset
This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 1660 Super back.
- Processor needed for ~105 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU: CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 105.
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 1660 Super: 6 GB
- Minimum spec: 1 GB (+5 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 4 GB (+2 GB headroom)
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in Garry's Mod; usually the cheapest.
