Following the release of the supercharged [GeForce GTX 1660 Ti](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1660-ti.md), which delivers comparable performance to a GeForce GTX 1070, we’ve now launched the [GeForce GTX 1660](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/gtx-1660-ti.md).

Starting at $219, the GTX 1660 features 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM, 1408 CUDA Cores, and a boost clock of almost 1.8 GHz. On average, it’s 35% faster than the GTX 1060 3GB at 1080p, and compared to the Maxwell-architecture GTX 960, it’s 130% faster.

In other words, the GTX 1660 delivers the performance necessary at 1080p to play the latest games at smooth, enjoyable framerates, with rich levels of graphical detail.

The [GTX 1660](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/gtx-1660-ti.md) has been crafted using [the same Turing-architecture technology](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/geforce-gtx-1660-ti-advanced-shaders-streaming-multiprocessor.md) as the aforementioned [GTX 1660 Ti](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1660-ti.md), meaning it has:
