What games can my GTX 660 still run?

Craig619 · Sep 7, 2016

My home PC is 3 years old. It's an i7 3.5, 8gb ram, and has a GTX 660 graphics card. These days I mainly use to play old games, and for photo editing in Adobe Lightroom. I'm tempted to save up for a new graphics card, and perhaps purchase another 8gb of ram, although there are other more important things to consider at the moment.

Would anyone know what games I would still be able to play on my PC?

All games, albeit on lowered settings. You can still get away with a 660.

CS:GO's a good one. Just search for user benchmarks, there's lots around.

Pretty much every game on the market, just need to set the settings accordingly (or use geforce experience to set them for you).

Hlsgsz :

Thanks.

Would you know of any older games that will run on higher settings?

Craig619 :

Skyrim can be pretty much maxed out on a 660.

All games prior to 2014. My all time favourite is Half-Life 2 from 2004, which is arguably the best game ever made.
Others that come to mind: Skyrim(hell yeah!!), the Mass effect series, the Dead space trilogy, Wolfenstein teh new order, deus ex mankind divided. All those are absolutely brilliant.

I had a 660 Ti until two months ago. You can play everything, even graphic intensive games like Witcher 3. Just lower your settings. If you're unsure, i recommend installing the application GeForce Experience that will recommend settings for the most popular games.

While it's getting a bit long on the tooth, the 660 still has some fight on it if you're not picky about FPS or FullHD resolution.

Well, you can still run a lot of the current games, however you might have to lower the settings (don't lower the resolution though!).

I currently have a gtx 770 and i saw benchmarks vs the gtx 660, there's only a slight difference in performance where obviously the gtx 770 beats the 660.

In my personal experience, I can still run most of the current games between medium to high settings. However, these settings will give you about 40 to 50 fps, sometimes 60 (depending ofc on, say, the scenery of what's happening, or if you're in combat, etc). This is with vsync disabled and motion blur off.

And then my AA is either off or just set to a modest FXAA. Anisotropic filtering hovers around 4 to 8 x usually.

again, it varies per game but this is what I usually set the games to.

Personally, I'm waiting until the Volta cards before I upgrade.
