Garry's Mod on GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop GPU

Well above recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Laptop GPU is well above Garry's Mod's recommended spec. We estimate ~90 fps at 1080p high (range 72–108, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~63 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 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 Ti Laptop GPU back.
Processor needed for ~90 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU: still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~90 fps.
