Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti?

At 1440p High, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti averages 63 fps in Battlefield V, per Modders Inc. For local LLM inference it generates 41.4 tokens/sec running llama2:7b at Q4_0 under llama.cpp, per llama.cpp GitHub Discussions. In 3DMark Fire Strike it scores 14,633 points, per 3DMark. Its 6 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card is llama3.1:8b (8B parameters, q4_K_M), generating 16.7 tokens/sec under ollama, per DatabaseMart.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
