Hearts of Iron IV on GeForce GTX 1660 Super
Yes. The GeForce GTX 1660 Super is well above Hearts of Iron IV's recommended spec. We estimate ~210 fps at 1080p high (range 168–252, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~147 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 6 GB of video memory is below the 28 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 300+ | 250 | 150 |
| medium | 273 | 191 | 115 |
| high | 210 | 147 | 88 |
| ultra | 168 | 118 | 71 |
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: ultra preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: ultra 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 ~210 fps: Ryzen 7 3700X or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i5-2500K): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 210.
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 1660 Super: 6 GB
- Minimum spec: 28 GB (22 GB short)
- Recommended spec: 28 GB (22 GB short)
