Project Zomboid on GeForce GTX 1660 Super

Meets minimumEstimate · low confidence, ±30%

Yes, at lower settings. The GeForce GTX 1660 Super meets Project Zomboid's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~55 fps at 1080p high (range 39–72, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1080p, use the medium preset. Its 6 GB of video memory covers the 4 GB the game requires at minimum. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 5600 XT (~68 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimate · low confidence, ±30%

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: medium preset
60 fps at 1440p: low preset
144 fps at 1080p: not reachable

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 ~55 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
